Dang, I feel like an idiot now. I got a 2020 430i back in december and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to activate the parking aid lines; it wasn't in the parking settings or anything and the owner's manual didn't give any clues either. This vid taught me all I had to do was select it from the side bar options when the display is in parking assistance mode

This should be a standard feature considering the price of some of the vehicles.

Good interactive video😊👍..I’m using 330e G20..Can PDC detect low level obstruction such as road divider? I’ve encounter such situation during approach for front parking, car bumper passed over road divider about 1mm but PDC don’t give warning😅

I thanks for this lol! I discovered my 540i with the parking assistance package has this ACTIVE PDC with braking interv. today when I was trying to back into a parking space and the car slammed on brakes! I thought I killed my transmission or somthing! Now I know. 😆🤪
