Does E92 PDC give graphical representation?

Russellnyc · 10-07-2006, 08:30 PM

I've seen some pics where it appears to show the contours of the rear obstacles. Is this true? Anyone have pics?

RichP · 10-07-2006, 08:53 PM

Ive seen that pic from the X5 sites, no idea what it actually represents.

miamidanny · 10-07-2006, 09:11 PM

If you have I-drive it does...just like the E90 and other BMWs (5,6,&7) but nothing like the pic above. Just a graphic with green, yellow, and red.

That's the track that you would take if you were to keep backing up with this steering angle. It helps you to align the car into a parking stall.

Yeah, but there is no rear view camera on the 3 series. We get a "radar" screen. Kind of like this, but only for the rear:

YES! This is what I was hoping for, thanks!

As said , the 3 series get the "radar" screen, if you have nav

The new X5 is the first car to get the new "smart" PDC that uses a camera and shows distances to different obsticles ect ect

There is an option that the dealer was telling me about for the E92 to install the camera at the back but dont think this has the graphic overlays like on the X5.

Correct, there is a camera but it doesnt integrate with the PDC like on the new X5

Exactly!

I don't care for the PDC, but I do like the add-on camera. Do you know if you need the PDC though in order to add the camera? I wouldn't think so, but I've heard stranger things.

No, you dont need PDC,but on the nonidrive E90 the video is displayed on a extra little screen that replaces your passenger side middle airvent

You are right when you do not have I-drive. If you have I-drive the camera uses the I-drive display.

BMW info about reversing camera:
Ensures maximum safety when reversing. As soon as reverse gear is selected the area behind the car is filmed with a wide angle of 131° by a camera in the luggage compartment lid. The image is then shown on the on-board monitor.

Is the rear camera now an accessory tht can be bought and added to any e92/e90?

Its been listed for the E90 since 2005

Currently the E92 only lists the front camers, but im shure they will add a rear one soon

I will be getting NAV, so I assume it will be displayed on that monitor.

And regarding your other post ... who would need a front camera? I would have assumed that the only camera you could buy would be a rear view one.

The front camera looks left+right from the front of your car.

It's for those situations when you're pulling out of a narrow garage or walled driveway into heavy traffic. Without the camera you have to drive half the car into the road before you can see the traffic. With the camera you just stick a couple of inches out and get a perfect view. Rather clever, for those who need it.
