OK Guys,
Here is my question. I have scoured the interwebz for an answer before posting here. I just updated my 3.0 X5 with a 4.8iS bumper that came with PDC sensors. I have a 2004 (Build date 4/2004) and the harness from the bumper plugged directly into the prewired harness in the spare tire cargo area. There is no PDC module but the wiring exists so I ordered the module and the rear gong (also prewired).
So here is my question. What does the switch on the console do and is it neccessary? My reading shows it is used for diagnostics (blinking) and disabling the front sensors? Since I do not have the front sensors or bumper, will the PDC work rear only without the console switch? TIA for any knowledege from our family. Thanks again.
