Front PDC retrofit on BMW F30

[@Ediaz375]

Amazing tutorial, thank you so much for all the detailed information.

[@michieldezeeuw1699]

Using your video I now have front PDC. Thank you!

[@Acelele320]

You're welcome.

@@Acelele320 I want to do this project on my MINI COOPER CountryMan F60. On a MINI Cooper 2018 F60, where/how should those wires make connection?. I installed the centre toggle switch for Parking sensors Front & Rear, I have rear PDC from factory installed & my retrofit HeadUnit i believe is coded for front parking sensors already.Can U assist me with directions to make those connections?. Thanks.

Nice Job Ace, can‘t wait for the next project.

[@mariusdascalu8781]

Hello! Can you help with somethink please? At the end, when you plug pins to rear end plug, How did you know wich one is pin 1, pin 2..etc...i saw you did write on cables, but how did you know wich one is pin 1 or pin 2? Thanks! And awesome work and tutorial✌️

[@S4lfr]

Seems like a super easy job to get it done, what’s hard is to get the parts

[@selcukince764]

I have a question, i have front and back sensors and back camera. when gear is reverse, the camera and sensors are on my screen, however when the gear is direct mode, the sensors disappears from screen, even though the front sensor beeps when close to something. Is there a way of coding for that?

[@coolguy4602]

Could you please do a tutorial for rear pdc too?

[@bugraakgul2270]

Thanks a lot! We are waiting for more.

Nice job Ace. Can you do a video on retrofitting dual zone climatic controller with digital display on it.

[@Acelele320]

Hello and thank you. Yes I can make video about dual-zone climate retrofit. I'm currently collecting all parts and hoping I will start with the project very soon, so stay tuned for that video. (Hopefully in next few weeks)

Have you checked "Update VCM" at Esys Options? Because when I code, it says that "VCM has not been updated because its deactivated", finish without errors and nothing changes

[@valentinpopescu5068]

Hi there! I own an F36 which I would like to retrofit PDC-front and back.Would I need a new REM module? I had someone looking at the REM module that is currently on the car and I have been told that the existing module can support PDC, not sure if I should take if for granted as the guy is generally only coding BMW's and not doing the actual installing. I keep getting different opinions on that, some say I do need a new REM and others say I don't. Could you please advice? By the way, I have to appreciate your content, it's really helpful and very well explained! Keep up the good work! Thank you!

[@philbuildsautos731]

Is this the same process for the F20? Thanks

[@koeny3425]

good afternoon, The pins that need to be in the brake module, which color is pin 1 and so on? Thanks

[@koeny3425]

I found it! But how do you push the pins in to it?

[@maurocorona7451]

Hello. In the repair kit I purchased, the wiring that goes from the ICM to the center console consists of two cables. On bmw F20 2016, do I have to do as in your video and use only what comes to PIN 28? Or do I also have to use the other cable that must reach PIN 6? Thank you!!!! You are the best!

@@maurocorona7451 ho tutti i pezzi ora a disposizione, mi sapresti dire come hai collegato i pin dell’icm e se la presa che ti forniscono collegata ai due fili va scollegata ed è in più? E come hai raggiunto l’icm? Hai dovuto smontare il condotto dell’aria che è sopra sfilandolo dalle bocchette posteriori?

[@maurocorona7451]

Si, la presa fornita va tolta ed usato solo il gavo giallo verde. Icm ho solo scollegato il morsetto e messo il pin del cavo giallo verde. Attenzione alla rem perche i pin del cablaggio fornito sono strani ed ho faticato un bel Po’ per inserirli

[@stefansulejic]

Can you do this on an f36 as well?

[@Grimfrosthex69]

hey, great tutorial bro, I'm just planning to make PDC retrofit at my 2010 F11, both front and rear as it had nothing installed, in terms of connection I guess everything is quite clear but I do not know how to code that, would you be able to help me? as I've said now there's no PDC at all, so no 507 available and I have never used E-Sys before, thx.

[@alexmyhas]

Hi, are all Pdc brackets the same size?

[@josuealmagro5382]

Realizado en mi f30 gracias desde España !!

[@Deniz.T.]

I actually cannot find the pdc holders for the msport bumber. Do you have supplier nr for these middle 2 holders ?

[@Acelele320]

You can't purchase PDC brackets individually, they are available only as a whole repair kit from BMW. Back at time I paid about 40 euros for the front repair kit. You can find the part number at the beginning of the video.

[@user-mc3cy9ns5d]

Is this the same for six parking sensors, ive bought a bumper with six sensors on the f20 model.

[@Acelele320]

No, it's not the same. Those 2 sensors on side are not parking sensors, they are PMA sensors for Park Assist and to retrofit Park Assist you need to replace ABS Pump and the job is very complex and expensive.

[@charleshon1017]

which version of E-sys should I use to do the coding? I own a Y2012 F20

[@charleshon1017]

also do I need PSdZdata to complete the coding?

[@leotironi]

Did the same on mine it worked nicely

[@Chris_Ks05]

Hallo, where can i find the wire which i need to add from ICM pin 28 to blue connector pin 1 ? Is it “ready” to install with connectors on both sides ? Thank you!!

[@Acelele320]

Hello. You get that wire with OEM PDC repair kit or you can make your own.

[@Chris_Ks05]

@@Acelele320 Hi, i just want to add pdc button for activation-deactivation so i just need this one wire from pin 1 to ICM pin 28. That’s why i asked what choices do i have to find this cable alone..

[@Acelele320]

@@Chris_Ks05 Then make one. The cable is approx 70 cm long and 0.35 mm of thickness and on each end you need to crimp female MQS terminal. You can get those pins directly from BMW, they cost about 70 cents/piece and PN is: 61131383776

Ciao, scusami ma con il kit che hai montato il pdc è quello che parcheggia in modo semi autonomo?(gira il volante da solo)

[@Acelele320]

Ciao. No, quello si chiama "Park Assist", lui ha 6 sensori davanti, 4 PDC e 2 PMA. Io montato solo sensori PDC. Se vuoi Park Assist bisogna cambiare anche la pompa ABS

Nice job !!!! I have already ordered the front PDC kit, I think I can install it myself, fingers crossed ... do I need the enet and e-sys cable for coding? I need something more? Where can I get these programs ... sorry for my ignorance ... before modifying something I will look for more information.

[@Acelele320]

Hi. Yes, you need E-net cable and e-sys program for coding and that's it. Soon I will make a video on how to download it and install it.

[@anandhusivan9787]

Can you share a cooding video asap because if you add some voice over its very helpful for us

Can you please upload a video on Retofits factory led headlights on bmw f30 on base model

I can't because I don't have F30 with halogen headlights. I have Xenons and won't upgrade to LED's.

Thanks for this nice job. Where can I get all these wiring please?

[@Acelele320]

From BMW dealership or from eBay. Brand new wiring harness is about 120-150€, depending on your location. You need 2 wires as shown in the video. - Main wiring harness (about 5 meters long) - Front bumper wiring harness (with 4 connectors for 4 PDC's)

In totale circa 100€ perchè ho fatto il cabbliaggio da solo. Se vai comprare tutto, spenderei tra 200€ e 250€. I sensori puoi trovare su autodemolizioni tra 40 e 60€ tutti e 4, pulsantiera tra 30 e 50€. Supporto per il sensori costa 40€ nuovo originale.
