Einfach & rechtssicher 

Many drivers wonder how to correctly set their electronic parking disc. While manual discs made of paper or plastic are the traditional solution and require a bit of attention when parking, electronic models are far more intuitive, reliable, and convenient-especially if you want to avoid parking tickets.

Let's take a closer look at why these little helpers are so important in traffic and how to use and set them correctly.

Why Do You Need a Parking Disc?

In many short-term parking zones in Germany, it is mandatory to set the arrival time on a parking disc-failure to do so can result in fines. The required time mark is the next half hour from the moment you park. Many people forget to set the disc, especially when in a rush, and end up with a ticket on the windshield. Yet the parking disc is a simple but effective tool for monitoring parking durations-particularly in high-traffic areas like supermarkets, city centers, or medical offices. If you don't place a valid disc, you're quickly risking a fine.

How to Set a Manual Parking Disc Correctly

Here's how, step by step:

1. Determine arrival time: Check the current time when you park.

2. Round to the next half hour:

- Example 1: You park at 14:12 -> Set to 14:30.
- Example 2: You park at 09:40 -> Set to 10:00.

3. Place it visibly: Put it on the front left or right side of your windshield. Important: Nothing may cover it - no papers or window films.

4. Double-check: Before leaving your car, verify that the disc is set correctly and clearly visible from outside.This way, you ensure your parking time is properly recorded and avoid unnecessary fines.

Electronic Parking Disc: Convenient and Fully Legal

Many drivers don't know that electronic parking discs are completely legal in Germany-as long as they meet legal requirements. These devices offer not only legal peace of mind but also everyday convenience: no manual setting, no forgetting, no tickets due to inattention. The devices automatically detect when the car is parked and set the arrival time to the next half hour. It saves time, reduces stress, and allows you to focus fully on your drive-especially handy for frequent drivers or in busy city traffic.

Important conditions:

- Must have KBA approval, indicated by a visible E-number.
- Parking time must be automatically detected and correctly displayed.
- The disc must be permanently and visibly attached to the lower right inside of the windshield.

If an electronic parking disc meets these requirements, it is a fully valid and legally compliant alternative to manual ones-offering significantly more comfort in everyday use.

Setting Up an Electronic Parking Disc

Modern electronic parking discs do the work for you. Using motion sensors, they automatically detect when your car stops and set the next valid parking time. You usually don't need an app or smartphone connection.

Once properly set up, there's nothing more to do-just get in, park, and go. The device handles everything in the background.

Typical Setup Steps:

1. Set current time: Press a button to set the exact time on the device.

2. Select time interval: Choose the legally required rounding interval (30 minutes in Germany).

3. Activate DST mode: Ensure automatic switch between daylight saving and standard time is enabled (recommended).

4. Mounting: Attach the device magnetically to the lower right corner of the windshield-this is the only legally allowed position according to the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO). Done! From now on, the device sets your parking time automatically whenever you stop.

Important Note: Different models may vary slightly in function and setup. Make sure your device is approved by the KBA, recognizable by its E-number (see example image). Only such models-like those from OOONO-are legally usable in Germany.

Overview of OOONO P-DISCs

The manual classic works, but it's easy to forget and impractical in hectic situations.
