camera doctor 25 Report post Posted June 30, 2011 Has anybody had any experience in retrofitting PDC to a facelift ( 2002 ) E39 ? I have the reverse camera fitted, so I really only want to do the front of the car, and wondered would I be better off buying an aftermarket kit - although I prefer to stay genuine where possible / economic. The car came from Japan with one of those tacky posts that stick up from the front of the car, and after ripping the numberplate holder off a couple of times, I can now see why ! I guess some may say I need to drive / park better, but as my car is a touring, it is important to get as close into parks as possible so it's butt does not stick out, and the shape of the nose makes it hard !! I have serached forums / internet, but not much info around on retrofit - the module seems to be cheap as a used part, the sensors themselves not so much .... and would my car be 'pre-wired' for the module anyway ? Any experience out there in Bimmersport land ?? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ideally, fit front+rear and have the whole PDC system fitted. There are OEM retrofit instructions around Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
