You forget that the PDC viewer can be used forwards, too. I use it that way every day, because I park under the house in a space between a wall and a brick pillar covered in ivy that's only a few inches wider than the car. Reversing out is easy - I use the mirrors - but driving the long-bonneted E89 in is safer with some help.
So, the first time, I drove in to what I thought was right, stopped, got out, checked the gap and pushed the car forward to the right spot.
Then I got back in, made a visual note of where I was in relation to wall bricks etc.
Been fine since then. Simples!

I get the pdc viewer, use mine all the time,, I just wondered why you would want to rotate itBusterboo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2019 12:52 pmYou forget that the PDC viewer can be used forwards, too.

It's not me who wants to rotate it. I'm happy with it the way it is.

I gave it a go (coded it in Carly) after reading this thread. To be honest it doesn't make much difference to me, more of a novelty to have a different display than anything really practical. The only annoying thing is that the picture of the car doesn't seem to display on the screen for up to 15-30 seconds after putting it in reverse (the 'radar' display works instantly but it looks weird without a car image on the screen, just the colours). There was always a slight delay in the landscape mode but nowhere as long as the one with the portrait (F type) display.
Think I'll code it back to normal next time I'm doing some coding.

I simply switch the lights on and use the reflected light to judge how close to the wall I am. Same principle as PDC, for us poor folk.
