Hi,
My PDC beep is LOUD. Somebody here posted that the volume is adjustable - and that all you have to do is enable PDC and then use the volume control for the stereo. When I do this, the beep stays the same volume, and the stereo gets louder or quieter when I push the buttons. The beep has definitely got louder since I got the car, but I don't know how I did it.
Can anyone let me know how to adjust the volume please ... it's driving me mad
Car is LCI.
Thanks!

That's what I thought ... but its much louder in my current E60 that in was in my previous 2, or in my wife's E70. And other people on here have posted about adjusting it, quoting menus where you can select it, or using the volume control. But since I posted this request, they have all been very quiet ...

I've read the same somwhere, but can't remember if it was here or somewhere else, and I don't KNOW how to do it...
I think it can NOT be adjusted...
BUT: I would search for it in the i-menu under vehicle settings, or I would try to turn the volume knob while the PDC is turned on and in function.

It raises a question - how difficult is to re-program the software yourself? In E46, it was really easy to unlock hidden features in the menu and customize the appearance + sounds.

Many people have tried, but failed!

"Select reverse to activate the PDC, then use the volume control for the radio to adjust the volume of the PDC"
