Sorry, was trying to multitask, now I'm wondering what else I screwed up this morning.

Plutoe

Yep you sure did. When checking the data card, the vehicle was never built with "distronic".

Perhaps you are thinking of your girlfriends car. You may want to call a dealer to determine what MY that option became available or what option are you really talking about?

I posted a corrected vin, is it not calling for the distronic?

I am guess you mean "Parktronic" (the parking aid sensors in the front and rear bumpers) and not "Distronic" (automatic follow cruise control).

If you are talking about Parktronic, then the clips are not a separate part. You'd have to replace the entire sensor. You can find them here:

I do mean what I say it is the distronic, a clip has broken and the emitter/reviver that is behind the big badge at the center of the grill is hanging at a 45 degree angle to the front plane of the car, causing it to see the car in the lane to the right and panic as you approach. I was able to place it temporarly correct and it worked as it should.
The car has distronic it came from Germany with it.
I love the cruse one of my favorite features of the car.

Oh, OK. And I don't know what Plutoe is looking at, but when I pulled your data card in my copy of EPC, it shows you have it (code 219):

I think what you need is the repair kit:
