Coding Parking Camera & Auto Sensor

p0p · 09-07-2023, 09:54 AM

It sucks that the sensors dose not auto turn on when getting close to an object
Is there a way to code this in?

If there is no way how about after you press the "P" and have the backup camera turn on?

Another one is a AC sync button - maybe like program the number memory button to sync it.
In my x7 there is no sync button but I was able to program #5 to sync.

TIA

The sensors should turn on whenever the camera is on, either by shifting into reverse or using the console button.

Yes true the sensors comes on with the camera, But not until I put it in reverse. And and most of the times I'm pulling into the garage; not reverse in.

I can live with just pressing the "P", but wanted to see if by pressing the "P" the camera can come on, by coding. I don't have 3d view.

That's what the console switch is for.

I only have "P" in this console switch

Bump, would love to get an answer to this.

P is the park assist switch. It works for me.

Auto PDC is only available when you have the parking assistant. If so there's an iDrive option to enable it.
