Hello, im wondering if im going to replace right outer sensor. LR fault codes told me that there is the fault and dealer told me it might be the sensor, or the wiring. Is it easy to replace the wiring, i have no idea how those wirings goes under the bumber. I have readed that its possible to change outer sensor by removing the fog lamp, advices please ? |

Hello, i tried this method. I found the Parking distance control ecu from left rear quarter and there was power cable + 2x 12pins connectors, one to front one to rear. Tryed to take only front connector, hoping that it will stop beep because the fault is on front pdc, but didnt succes, still did beep. Maybe it is possible to take off the front and then connect system remap thing? or maybe changing the ecu to only Rear parking distance ecu =)? any ideas? |

Why look to disable the system? At some point it will need fixing. It should be possible to do this, if the front end is unplugged at the control unit, and hence isolated it should be possible to modify the CCF (configuration file) to tell the car it only has the rear part fitted - but then there will be a system present but not functioning... depending on who does this, the cost may be more than buying the part - they can bought second hand on the net at popular auction sites. 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red

Winslet, reason why to try disable it is because im tired to every year replace some front sensor because of maybe some stones may hit to sensor + road salt is used very much in finland and that melts wirings. And realy, who needs front PDC ? if could decide i would remove all PDC and just convert it to rear camera which is much usefull than pdc system.
