Correct, camera only comes on if reverse is selected. The button only turns on the sensors, not the camera. I've seen the same behavior in non-BMW cars. There is a version of the console module with a camera button, maybe that would behave differently.

Had it confirmed by my dealer that this mod will only work on cars that have the Back Up installed. This is a optional extra I didn't tick on my vehicle so my module upgrade doesn't work.
Dealer won't take the module back either so I'm going to sell it in the classifieds. |

They are just like us, more likely to be much less knowledgeable than the most knowledgeable of us, on this matter. They merely see how things turn out and tell you that's the way it should be.

So far the most left and most right front sensors are not working properly. They show 8 of 10 red lines. Maybe we have choosed not the best position. We have to reposition them. This is an R&D session at all, i am happy to test different scenarios.

A quick question, you mentioned coding could be done in ISTA/P (retrofit option) or that it could be coded manually. What do you mean by "manually"...? Using E-Sys to change a flag? |

FYI the "fourth button" with the pic of a camera on it is for the optional front side cameras (not to be confused with the surround view cameras under the wing mirrors). I have this option on my F30. Look closely at my avatar and you can see one just behind the orange reflector on my front bumper.

Super interested in this tread. Have done this sort of thing before on MINI's. they use the same system. I have questions for the OP.
Why did you only install 1 set of sensors? Most cars have 2 sets - the outside corners being the most important. When you programed the sensors did it not ask you where the 2nd set were? Here is the setup on an f32... |

I have stopped this retrofit project as M2CP will arrive during this year and will have front pdc.
If i relocate two front sensors, it should work fine, but i will not relocate them as i will sell my M2 and get back to the original front bumper without PDC. Regards, Laszlo |

Dumb question but can show me which one is power as I plan to install a no drill no hole sensor strip in the front.
Also how complicated is to take our the front bumper |

I think for the proper FRONT PDC Retrofit for M2 and M2 LCI you need the following:
- proper module - wiring - front bumper and maybe other related parts from M2 Competition - front PDC from M2 Competition - proper coding |

This one thing that I wish the M2 had, front PDC. Or a front camera would be even better. I'm always worried about parking to close and hitting the front bumper. One of the reasons I havent bought a front lip for the car yet.
