Recently installed N6 on an E53 and high hopes for the unit. Generally pretty good although iGo Navigation is not up to Garmin standards; regularly takes wrong routes and display is cluttered and despite all the options can't declutter it.

The iPhone interface could do with some improvements, I haven't been able to navigate Artist->Album->Track and then reverse in the same sequence.

Biggest problem is PDC, it simply doesn't work. Screen doesn't engage when put into reverse and even when using the green reverse wire to activate reverse, the camera then comes on but no PDC display. Had it checked by BMW and no issues with PDC.

Anyone else had a problem with PDC or success?

I am still behind with all the camera and PDC thing but as I understood it, PDC integration works with SOME models so it was never a sure thing that it was going to work in our e53...

I've got the PDC display to work on my E53 X5 The problem was I was testing it by putting the car into reverse without the engine running. Although the PDC sensors beep correctly and the reverse camera is shown on the display the PDC dispaly on the Dynavin shows nothing. However with the engine running it all works perfectly.

The only thing I might change is that currently I activate the head unit from the reversing light output on the Light Module Controller (X38 connector pin 9 or 10). It would be better to use the PDC light output since PDC is engaged in both forward and reverse gears when parking (X38 connector pin 1). Currently the Dynavin screen switches off when I put it into drive.
