Auto PDC

Took my car in for service and they gave me a new X3 loaner. Noticed when you turned into parking spots, or got close to anything, the park distance sensors would turn on by themselves. Is that possible on our cars?

That would be really nice!!

I agree as long as you can customize or disable the auto-on ability. My wife had a Mercedes that would indicate vehicles next to you at a stop light. It was just a light on the dash but very annoying IMO.

I really like this feature on the Cayenne but it is not enabled for the 6 Series...at least yet. I was playing with some of these options while coding my car the other day and I was able to enable the option to show up in the parking menu where you manage other parking settings like driving lines, obstacle marking, etc., but even though I can select the auto PDC option, it still doesn't work... seems like something else needs to be coded which I was not able to identify.

There is also a self-braking function called ACTIVE PDC, which to my best knowledge will automatically apply the brakes if you are about to hit something that the PDC sensors detect... I think the new X5 has it. I was able to get that to show on the menu as well, but of course it doesn't work either
