Some versions of the 6.02 Intravee firmware had the PDC sensor locations wrong, but the latest on BMW5,
http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/topic/75809-fir ... 947/, has them correct.
NavCoder, INPA and the Intravee all use the same mechanism to display sensor information.

Thanks Richard - will get the update on. Been busy for some strange reason!
Turns out to be the sensor that wasn't clicking, so as you say - the Intravee was wrong.
Changed today for one of the sensors on the link. Doesn't look OEM (as in, no part number written across it but spot on for finish - suspect these are sourced just before getting the BMW badges on em) but then at £19 against £72 plus VAT (the last one I replaced) I wasn't going to complain. :blink:
Please note - the bumper HAS to come off for any front sensor that needs replacing.
That's what I did when 'the-end-of-the-world-was-nigh'!!!!

Getting mine replaced on wednesday next week. My indy says he can change mine without taking the bumper off. We'll see how that will go.

The pdc was replaced without taking the bumper off. All it cost was £6 for new housing fitting for the sensor but my problem still exist which is driving me crazy. I even swapped the corner one but no joy. I guess i will have to take it to the stealership to figure out what is wrong with the PDC

how did they manage that?? from where was it accessed??
i have the pdc home for 2 weeks now, been postponing the fix its a PITA to remove all that for bumper and trim!
EDIT - maybe different on the facelift..
