When investigating files on the Formentor infotainment, I came across another one… OPS configuration files: the Optical Parking System. Looking at the file format and decompiled code, I could figure the format out.
Will I release a tool for this? Nahh. I see no usecase for that. Who would want to edit their OPS? Unless you rebuild your car to be a widebody, or something like that. Hmmmm, now I'm in doubt and maybe I should release a tool to help those widebody fans out there!
Some shots from the parsed data. I don't what most things mean. but some things are logical. And there seems to be some magical feature called "Rimprotection" which I have no idea what it's about.
Here's some interesting findings about the file format, and what's possible:
OPS Features & Settings:
Display Modes:
360° view (show360)
Area view (front/left/rear/right) with button refs
Mini mode (showOPSMini)
Rear-only (showRearOnly)
Test mode (showTestMode)
Trailer detection (showTrailer)
Sensor Systems (switchable):
RTA (Rear Traffic Alert) — states + colors
FTA (Front Traffic Alert) — states + colors
Maneuver Assist — detect reverse/side maneuvers
Rim Protection — 4 corners (RPFL/RPFR/RPRL/RPRR)
Camera-based segments (vs. sensor-based)
Colored sensor failure — opacity/alpha control
Vehicle Calibration:
radiusFront, radiusRear (turning radius)
wheelBase (axle distance)
trailerAngle (trailer rotation center)
direction (LHD/RHD steering)
trackDisplay (visualization mode)
Sensor Zones (27 total):
State Levels:
PDC: 0-8, 12-15 (0=off, 1-3=warning levels, 6-8=not initialized, 12-15=error)
RTA/FTA: 0-3, 15 (off/no-warning/low/hard/error)
Maneuver Assist: 0-2, 15
Rim Protection: 0-2, 14-15
Color Config:
sensorStateColors (per-state RGBA)
rtaStateColors, ftaStateColors, rimProtectionStateColors
coloredSensorFailureAlphas (transparency per state)
So. always fun to play around with file formats!

From an older car, but something about rim protection. Maybe this is somehow accounted for in how your new technology operates… forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/43031/
Oooh sounds like something I should check out!
