XSeries-forum

I know it's been covered before but here goes been working ok then constant beep and light flashing checked with software error front left sensor changed it and now nothing no light beep or anything aftermarket new sensor but have used these in the back and there fine any ideas chaps cheers

I have similar probs on my X5....
tracking these down is a damned nuisance...

Im gonna put up with it until its drier & warmer, so I can check everything out.

same bleeping & flashing issues... but none of the sensors CLICK and no hint of which is at fault..

ive checked the modules and the boot is dry & moisture free... so I just gott not reverse into anything meanwhile lol

My daughter explained how the pdc and Reverse camera work on my X5 apparently there is a "thud" sound when your to close!!!

Get up close and personal to each pdc sensor and listen for the clicking sound.
"No clicky-no worky"
Front and rear sensors were different part numbers on the E60 so double check before buying for your car. New from BMW are pricey, so i would buy 1 of each 2nd hand/breakers etc

Just my belated two pence worth.... I bought 3 amazon/eBay specials a couple years ago for my e39 and at £12 each they were fine. Luck of the draw maybe but I'd rather put in new cheapos than old scrappy pdc sensors. 

Just ordered 8 new ones as well as new cages and surrounds sensor from eBay cages and surrounds from BMW all done in one swoop

Yes I sometimes use this method too.  The actual PDC seems to be more hassle than it is worth.
