I have pdc without navi, you still get the pic of the car on idrive with the green, yellow, red indicators as well as audible beeps. I love mine parking is so mindless now (hope it doesn't breakdown one day cuz I'll probably hit something)

The driving position in E60 is excellent and you can park easily without PDC help. I remember how hard was to park my previous coupe/cabriolet even with the help of PDC. I have to admit though that I'm always using PDC in my E60, it makes life much easier

I drove cars for >20 years without PDC's - a life without PDC is nowadays unthinkable.
