Rear parking sensor on/off switch installed
If anyone else has the dct model and hates the reversing sensors staying on unless the car is fully shutdown, this fix works.. Previously posted by another member but for left hand drive model. I'm confirming it works for right hand drive and it was worth every penny - £30 I paid.
For right hand drive, Order part number : 9252921 and for LHD 9252912. Pull out the old one, plug in the new one, swap the switch - very easy, just unclip the top cover 3 clips either side then lift off. Pop out the rocker switch and push in the original rocker switch with comfort/sport, put the new top cover back on and push in the unit, job done. And for the observant, I hadn't fully pushed it home to finish the job but it fits like a glove. Last edited by kiysersosae; 01-19-2017 at 04:57 PM.. |

I think the manual is fine, it goes off in neutral.the DCT is a pain in the ass. It took me about 15min, really easy just be careful getting the unit and rocker switch out.

When you press the button the reverse sensor comes on you need to use the iDrive to select the camera. I believe the button you're talking about is the top view which our cars don't have, yet.

Il check tomorrow but I'm sure it was on, but maybe I had left it in that mode trying to switch it off when I parked it in the garage.

Walked behind the car and the beeping went apeshit! So this may be beneficial for 6MT also! Never noticed this before!!! Maybe the 6MT needs to go from reverse to first in order to reset the reversing sensor? Which is what I usually do. Today was a warm day and I pulled car out of garage and her let her idle to warm up. Needed to inflate the tires to 45 psiand place them on rubber pads. Car is now tucked away for the winter |

Confirmed. I always back into my garage, and I have to move forward at least 5 feet or so before the sensors stop beeping. I may have to try this!

Awesome mate, i reverse park into my garage and the constant beeping is annoying, will definitely look into this.
Is the part # originally for a standard 2 series? |

Wow, thanks. I shall be doing this after only one week of ownership.
I had a bicycle rack on the back of my car and his issue is huge when the object is at zero on the display. A constant beeeeeeeeeep until you move. |

This is indeed a great mod but important to note it does NOT work on RHD cars that don't have the back up camera installed.
I tried tirelessly but there's something needed from the wiring of the back up camera to make the on/off sensor button work on the new control unit. Had to put mine back to stock and resell the control unit I'd purchased. |
