Default PDC -- Can it be added?

Hey All:

Anyone have an idea on how to add PDC? I am just trying to educate myself on this, and I cannot find anything. Either I am search illiterate, or am the only person on the planet that sucks so badly at parallel parking that I actually need these.

Thanks!

70 views and no one has any idea?

Is this already coded into the car, and I just need to install the sensors and replace bumpers? Is the car pre-wired for PDC, or do I need to add a harness?

I assume that your talking about the PCS ACC (Pre Collision System Adaptive Cruise Crontrol)

I am very interested also in adding this option..

I've already seen the "Radar' on Ebay but you also need an ECU + special cluster on your steering wheel for the button ..

Just curious to know if the car is pre-wired....

If it wasn't a factory option, it most likely will not be pre-wired for it.

Maybe I am retarded, PDC is the BMW name for "Park Distance Control"

Its the little things that beep at you when you are parking your car.

If you look on ebay or something there are after market parking sensors that mount to the licensee plate. Dont know how well they work though...
