HI,
The problem is PDC. When I'm parking I have nothing on the screen in the front and rear sides of the car. All the sensors are clicking except one.
Is it possible that one sensor could shut the whole system down.
There are some answers in the forum saying possible,some saying that the rest of the sensors should be working.
Has anybody come across with the same issue. I just need to know, is it a sensor or something else.
Thanks for any info.

Is your car still under warranty? If so, just take it in to the stealership and don't worry about it.

+1

The button will work and the damn thing will beep (internal), the sensors will click (external), but nothing will be displayed on the screen if it's been turned off in the iDrive settings.
