1. Leave car overnight (or for hours).
2. In the AM approach car, enter drivers door, immediately start car (do not stop at trunk or anywhere else first).
3. Set tranny to Reverse.
4. How long before the PDC/rear cam is available in iDrive?
Try this test a few times and report back.
CIC can take anywhere from 5-20 seconds.  |
I'll try this out tomorrow morning report back. After over a month of ownership, I've caught the nav with its pants down once (where it was still "initializing" with an overkill animation), but I've never had a delay in the PDC coming up.

I get ya. Might as well advertise that you're trying to be environmentally friendly. At least until those LiOn batteries need to go to a landfill.

I agree -- the AH3 badging is not excessively flashy at all, unlike the GM SUV's that say HYBRID on every single body panel and the windshield too.
