Retrofitting PDC in E60 with OEM BMW parts - Need help with programming/coding
#1
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi there,
I'm going to retrofit PDC in my BMW E60 520i 2003/08 using the following BMW OEM parts:
1 x PDC sensor cable set front bumper
1 x PDC sensor cable set rear bumper
1 x PDC modification cable
4 x PDC sensors front
4 x PDC sensors back
1 x PDC module
1 x PDC / DSC switch console
The retrofitting will be done by a professional who's going to receive a reasonable amount of money from me. But the coding/programming part I want to do myself (since I won't have any money left). I have everything I need to code/program and my laptop set up and running correctly (INPA, EDIBAS, NCS EXPERT, DIS, PROGMAN + USB OBD II cable)
Since I'm a newbie to programming/coding I would really appreciate some help with coding my retrofitted PDC. What do I have to do/code in order to get the OEM PDC working?
Your help is really appreciated!
Thanks.

You are going to need to update the vehicle order to include the PDC, and then code the M-ASK or CCC to activate the option.
Have you considered a rear-view camera? For less money then you are spending on the BMW PDC parts you can get a rear-view camera installed from modmynav.

In total it cost me EUR 490 for the parts and EUR 250 to have it all built in.
For a full overview of all the parts, condition, part numbers and where I bought them see the following website http://goo.gl/YlGxk (Google Spreadsheet)
If you have any questions feel free to ask them.

I wanna do this! I already have them sensors in the back. I'm not planning to retrofit PDC in front.
I just can't find all the cables i need. PDC Module and DSC/PDC module is no issue. I need wiring with oem connectors. I just can't find this as used parts. I can only find pdc sensor cable set, which i already have.
How about the gong? Was the speaker alredy prepared for that or did you have to use another speaker?
You should have done a DIY cus there is non for E60.
