Hello mate,

Nope the E60 is gone. I figured it was time to move up a bit. ;)

Still have the Z4 though.

How are you?

Diesel in the US is a lot dirtier than in Europe. Sounds like bad fuel to me. Try a different petrol station I'd say.

I heard about that; how do I get the camera to zoom on the hitch?

I can see the hitch without zooming, it makes backing up to the trailer really easy.

I disagree. The camera in the RR is mounted on top of the rear window, a lot higher than on the E70. Therefor it stays cleaner, but the mid height position is better for judging distance. As an added...

Not trying to be rude here, but wouldn't it be cheaper for you to just take taxi's everywhere, rather than keep a car?

The car didn't need any additional programming after the hitch was installed.
Trailer stabilisation, rear pdc disabling etc all works nicely.

Plugging in a trailer indeed disables the rear pdc. Sticking a plug in should do the trick.

Not so cool feature.

I noticed that when you open the door while driving, the 'box goes into park.
Not so handy when you try to stick your head out the door when reversing a trailer.

Is there a way to disable this?

That is the point, they do not flash at all.
On both my E60 and my Range Rover there were additional halogen flashers, so there can't be any legal issues.

Does anybody have them working?
