dmnc02 glad we got that figured out. Maybe one day I'll get a hair up my ass and want to retrofit the parking assist functionality, but as of right now I suppose it's not too painful to hit the button to activate the sensors.

Thanks for the troubleshooting!

My 2016 X3 loaner does have the Auto PDC on thingy as well and I find it very convenient.
Come on BMW, Mercedes has been doing this for years on their cars with Parktronic. When you drive at certain low speed, the front sensors turn on. When you shift in N, on the new ones, both the front and rear sensors will be on. Some people hate it but I love it!

Have you ever noticed side cameras come on automatically as well? I'm curious if I'm imagining.

That car does not have side cameras. It is almost fully loaded, except for top and side cameras and xenon/LED headlights
