COVID-19 Quarantined or Stay At Home X5 Projects

I’m trying to figure out how to do this next thing, but after a lot of searching I came up blank and am not even sure if it’s possible - is it possible to somehow code the front parking sensors to turn on automatically below some speed? It’s something that always throws me off whenever I sit in my X5, as I’m very used to it from my Mercedes. Not going to lie, I have bent my front license plate once or twice.

I haven't tried it but you could try setting the PDC ON at terminal 15 which I would guess PDC would be active with key on. Then the on/off speed selection would seem to come on below 20 and off again at over 20. I don't know but only a couple of clicks in BMW Scanner 1.4 to find out.

Awesome, that sounds like EXACTLY what I am looking for! And here I was looking through INPA, DIS and whatnot. I sent you a PM, but seem to be having issues on my side with it, so I am not sure if it went through?

Yes sir, received your PM and responded to it.
