Tired of bending, twisting and constantly looking around when you try to park or drive out of a space tightly packed with other vehicles? We perfectly understand the feeling, but you can easily change the situation with our cutting-edge park assist retrofit.
BMW Active Park Distance Control (PDC) equips your car with parking sensors that use ultrasound to measure the distance to the nearest obstacles. The system turns on when your vehicle is less than 80 cm away from the closest large object and approaching, or less than 30cm when your BMW isn’t moving.
PDC retrofit warns you about any obstacles with a distinctive acoustic signal, and different warning colors on the iDrive screen as your vehicle draws closer.
If you want to know more about the Park Distance Control upgrade, its features or installation, identify your BMW in the top right corner.
We'll confirm pricing, compatibility and product details for your car:
Installation
Original BMW PDC (Park Distance Control) is a retrofit prepared for each BMW separately. Given that every car has its own configuration, the kit contents and its price may vary. In order to get accurate information for your specific vehicle, please fill in the VIN field to identify your car.
