Today I notice that my PDC pictogram has stopped coming up. I still get the beeps but no picture

Is there a control for this ? Maybe I have inadvertantly turned it off ?

What happens when you manually press the PDC button?

If it only happened during one start cycle, I'd put it down to the crap OS on which iDrive is based on. Re-booting may re-activate.

PDC can be turned off from within the iDrive vehicle settings menu but I reckon this would turn the lot off, beeps included.

However, if it has been like that for a few days, with beeping and no picture, I'd be a little bit more concerned... I think you'd have to look for a new car

I believe you can switch off the display of the car when in PCD mode from the info/setting menu in iDrive. Take a look under car settings or something.

This is correct.. The beeps will still work but the screen won't come on..
