PDC Question

bmwman3241 · #1 01-08-2009, 04:19 PM

Is there a way to make the PDC big, and camera small while reversing? The camera is very blurry, but I want it on so I would rather have it smaller and use the PDC on the big screen.

Also, In the link below, In the 5th picture, the PDC and navigation are both on. Is there an option to turn on the PDC automatically when slowing down (parking)? If not, then why is the PDC on with the navigation in the 5th picture?

PDC camera turns on only in Reverse I believe. But, if you press the PDC button while in Drive with Navigation turned on, you will probably see the display on the 5th picture. Just my guess.

I know the Camera turns on in reverse only, but the camera is on the big screen and the PDC is on the small screen, but I want it the other way around (Big PDC, Small Camera). Also, the PDC turns on when you are driving slow(after pushing the button), but in the 5th picture shows the navigation AND the PDC on.

I think PDC always shows on the small screen. The big screen will show the camera image if you are in Reverse. But, if you are not, it will default to how you set up (i.e. Nav). Thus, the 5th picture.

You always have the option of seeing PDC only which is there on the main screen. On the smaller screen, you have the option of which to bring up (not camera though, I don't believe)... onboard info, trip info, NAV map, location, etc. That's what you're seeing in the 5th pic. Don't think you'll be able to get it how you wanted.

The camera and PDC together is while reversing, but I could survive. But like you mentioned, How do I get the PDC on the big screen, and navigation map on the small screen while driving?(pic 5)

Also, forgetting the whole PDC and map or camera, is there a way to get the PDC to automatically turn on while driving below 20 mph or something. I know you could push the PDC button below 20 and it turns on, but is there an automatic way?
