Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PPS87 is a body sensor used in parking assist systems to support obstacle detection at the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on application. This parking aid sensor is listed for Mercedes-Benz C250, C300, C350, C63 AMG, and CL550 models across the 2008-2015 model years, including front inner, front outer, front, and rear positions where specified.

Common Problems It May Solve

• Loss of parking aid coverage on Mercedes-Benz C250, C300, C350, C63 AMG, or CL550 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original sensor connector style, terminal count, and mounting position before installation. Match the application exactly by year, model, and location, since fitment varies between front inner, front outer, front, and rear positions. For Mercedes-Benz C250 and C300 applications, confirm the bumper location and sensor orientation before connecting the PPS87.
