So you have 12 parking sensors on your vehicle - 6 front and 6 rear?
You have Visio Park 2 installed?
You have the Correct Park Assistance ECU (they are NOT all the same)?

There is no such file that can be sent. Any options that have the correct supporting hardware must be coded using secure access (i.e. a dealer level tool like Diagbox) in internet connected mode with an account.

Thanks friend for your reply.

i have 4 sensors in front & 4 sensors at back, i dont know if Viso park 2 is installed or not, but i thnik it is installed as hardware since a lot of cars in my country has activated park assist already.

the point is one service center is doing this service "not Citroen agent" with high fees, that is why i think it could be installed on my car

No it cannot be installed without the correct equipment on your vehicle. You don't have the required hardware installed.

Semi Automatic Parking requires additional 4 sensors used for Blind Spot Monitoring contained on the 4 wheel arches. Yes I know that it is not the official dealer doing it as they will not do it without the correct equipment.

The vehicle cannot semi park without these additional sensors as it will not be able to measure parking distances to gauge whether the parking space is big enough for the vehicle to fit in - and will not be able to guide the vehicle in if it cannot detect the lateral objects on the left and right sides.

This is just more internet rubbish as usual. Save your money or get a car with it already fitted.
