Program backup camera and sensors

itsnota2ma · 06-18-2023, 08:21 AM

When backing up the X3, you always have to turn the camera on, and the sensors come on for half a second and turn off. How do I program it so the camera automatically comes on along with the parking sensors? I've poked around but have not found where that is coded.

Did it come with PDC from the factory….or was it added on later by a previous owner?

It was owned by an older couple, so I highly doubt it was added. Maybe they had it disabled by BMW, as it has always behaved this way since we have owned it.
