Factory installed hitch - forgot to install software
So here is my question, while waiting for Monday so I can call the dealer: Is there any way to see if the hitch programming was done, such as on a nav page that would show what is installed? The car has to go back to address scratches made when the dealer washed the car , so they can program it again - but hoping someone knows how to check what is installed. thanks in advance |

I don't think the zoom mode is operational.
To see if you have the software, hook up your trailer and the electric. Put it into reverse, if the PDC beeps, then the software is not updated. If you don't hear the beeps, it is updated. Tim |

ok. will give it a try. But, shouldn't the zoom mode work without trailer plugged in? The reason they have the zoom mode is to be able to successfully back up to the trailer before you hook it up...

Where did you see the "zoom" mode? The only place I've seen it is in the M brochure.

Yes, it should, from the descriptions I've read. However, you don't know at this point if you have a trailer wiring coding problem, or a camera problem. You don't necessarily need to hook up the trailer to find out, you just need to get close enough to connect the trailer wiring (assuming there is a ground wire in the harness and it isn't relying on the hitch ball for a ground).

Additionally, there is an article about the E70 camera from when the E70 was introduced. Not sure if you have seen it, but it is on the site. Linke here: http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/e7...w%20Camera.pdf

They didn't tell me they would wash it. It was a free service but not requested. They admitted that the scratches were their fault - they'll probably have to replace the bumper skin (or I may ask for a bumper scuff protector since the long scratches are in the same place as the "accessory item" would go), but I do need the paint scratches fixed to avoid rust.

I fear they just updated the regular programming for the truck (there were other required software updates) and overlooked the hitch. |

I have the zoom feature on my 2010 X5 35D with the dealer installed hitch. When in Top View i depress the iDrive knob down and it zooms in.
