Thanks sd*********, I had read that you needed the PDC module as a minimum to sense reverse gear for installing a rear camera. They did not say anything about the sensors. I also wanted the OEM look. And so I bought the Autofocustech camera Emulator that supposedly requires PDC. I took the PDC system out of a junkyard 2008 328i when it was stabeard equip.

I only found out the PDC malfunction after getting it altogether. My daughter just has to click the wheel to use and it is worth it for her to have the rear camera. But I believe the error should not be necessary to live with.

Using NCSDummy I have been going through the various ecus trying to find warning or error display command but cannot find the module or command. Thinking will have to use ISTA-P to remove the warning display. But not sure. And I believe it is possible to code it off since praticaly everything rise is.

Thanks for any direction.
