Parking Assist

Post by McHaggis69 » Sat Mar 25, 2023 2:35 pm

Not that I think I might ever use it [cough]...

My z4 equipment is listed to include S05DM - Parking Assistance System
Its also there in my iDrive menu and is enabled with a little tick.

Problem is, I have no idea how to activate it and a quick google seems to suggest I should have this button down beside the gear shift -

I dont have that button.

Any clues?

It is on the main screen when the camera is active and can be selected from there. Mine doesn't have a button either. That must be another model and not the G29 as neither of mine have ever had a button like that.

I don’t know, never looked for it.

It’s a leap of faith too far for me, I can’t trust my pride and joy to automation. I do appreciate the reverse view camera that comes with parking assist though.

No button as above image from OP.
If the setting is turned on (I forget where but you can tick or untick it when the reversing camera/sensor screen is active)
Then the button pops up once reverse is engaged after driving past spaces at low speeds (I want to say <20kph but I forget)

Then just select the P space and it does the magic! Used it a few times as a gimmick / at home
