I retrofitted the front PDC on a 335i F30 that originally left the factory rear PDC only and standard sport bumpers (not M or Mtech).
But the front bumper was changed to an M3 style bumper. The PDC works but for some reason the two outer sensors show full bars even though nothing is in front of them. I noticed (using Bimmercode) under coding that there are many settings for type of bumpers and models. Do I need to change anything? Can it be affected because of the type of bumper?

So anyone who has rear pdc and wants to add this button just to have the choice of activate-deactivate pdc , should need any wiring done or if only new button be added it will immediately work? |

The wiring will still need doing. As soon as the wiring is in place then the PDC button will work if you have read PDC, no coding needed. But if you put the button in place without adding the wiring then the button will not work at all.

Connector for front PDC cable
I cannot find anywhere on RealOEM the part number for the connector, second part of the cable that traverses the car, to reach the trunk.
I already have the cable, only the connector is missing. |

So I finished retrofitting the fron PDC and coded it.
But for some reason the display of the front Sensors is flickering all the time. It doesnt show the cones stable like the rear PDC. They just show for a split second and disappear again all the time Anyone have an idea what it could be?

But you also need a SVT_IST (readable with E-Sys) so that the tool knows the ecus from your car. |

Hi guys I followed the discussion step by step ..
I would like to add the rear and front pdc to my f20, in the trunk the REM control unit is equipped with the necessary pins. Is it possible to have the product codes to proceed with the purchase? The sensor code The wiring code The media code If I understand correctly I have to insert the wires in the remote control unit .. what I did not understand, where should the front sensors be connected? Then with regard to the push-button panel near the handbrake, 2 of these wires must be connected with an attack in the icm control unit located behind the handbrake? Thanks friends, I ask for your help .. |

For anyone who has done this retrofit in the UK (or any RHD car), I have a quick question:
How/where did you route the cable through the firewall and into the cabin? There's a couple of entry points on the passenger side of the engine bay, but if I route the cable that way, I'm not sure if it will be long enough to get to the module in the rear-driver's side? |

BLACKBIRDSR71 - Bit late to reply on this one but yes it's a bit trickier in an RHD car and I'm not sure what path the factory installed cable actually takes. The point shown in the first post is occupied with the bonnet release cable in my RHD car and I couldn't find a suitable easily accessible point to bring it out to the driver's footwell area. I've actually done front PDC retrofit on two cars now but I made my own harness to go from the front bumper connection to the REM which let me run it a longer way.
On both cars I ran the cable through the grommet shown in the first post but on the passenger side of the car. With the trim removed from underneath the glove box you can easily see the cable come through the firewall. On the first car I then ran this across behind the head unit area and over to the driver's side then all down the right side of the car and into the REM from there. On the second car I ran it down the passenger side of the car until it reached the rear seat bench, then I removed the bench and then tucked the harness under the carpet, cable tied it along the existing wiring to run over to the right side of the car and then ran it into the back towards the REM that way. This was easy enough for me because I made my own harness with 10 metre lengths for each of the 6 cables and just trimmed the excess off once I reached the REM. I'm not sure if either of these routes would be viable with the genuine BMW harness because it makes the wiring run longer than it needs to be (with the advantage of making it easier). If you have attempted this yet, what route did you take? If not, I suppose you could just make an extension cable for each of the 6 pins which shouldn't be too much work. I imagine you'd only need another 1, maybe 2 metres at the absolute most. Last edited by Zheez; 08-28-2022 at 06:56 PM.. |

Hello guys, my parking sensor button doesn’t work, I can only see the parking sensors screen when on reverse. The button light only turns green when I reverse. How can I code the button to open the parking sensors screen?

but PIN 2 not. I have connected PDC front & rear, replaced REM, replaced panel and all seems to be working... So... What for is PIN 2? Also, aside question, should front PDC enable automatically when close to some obstacle? |

I don't think pin 2 was connected on mine either. I just added the connection for pin 1 and that was enough, everything works fine.
Front PDC doesn't enable automatically unfortunately. You have to manually switch it on when you want to use it. |
