I think you will have a better chance if you ask on the Citroen forums
Do you want one that beeps if you try to crash something, one that has video feedback or one that parks your car for you?
Give the world a chance to see your question. Kicking your topic within 24 hours is considered impolite.
Most folks in this forum likely don't know what a " citroen c5 shine" is. In addition, its unlikely they would know how the parking assist works.
I'm going to take a wild guess and ask if the reason you need this is because the parking assist is an option you don't have.
I’m asking about how can use arduino software to unlock the inactive option in my car which I can’t activate it with diag box ifound that in Citroen fourm that Ican do it with arduino software I already by arduini kit but I don’t know how can ido that
Did anyone explain how it was done ?
This is the link
Are you sure that your car actually has the paring assist hardware installed ?
The software linked to in the Citroen forum
looks like it is being used to send messages over CANBUS but if you don't have the hardware then of course it will not work to turn on the option
Does that link also apply to a Citroen? They might be family but it's not said that they use the same electronics / code.
All that appears to be happening is the cars ECU is having some options “ ticked” to an able them .
You don’t need an Arduino to do that , but that article is about making an Arduino based device to send the req’d CAN message .
You really need to research a bit more to see if that is possible on your car ( unlikely as there will be a module specifically for that task ) .
yes my car is the same hardware
Hi, @shodwa
Welcome to the forum.
What sensors does the "auto park" use?
Does your car have them?
I find it hard that a car manufacturer fits a car with the expensive hardware accessories that that model is not supposed to have?
Tom... 
I’m surprised you have that module - where was it ?
I would go on a Citroen forum and ensure you have the right bits and what is needed in detail
- there may be better easier routes than Arduino using phone based blue tooth programmer
dsi and DEA and AAS
