Ah, so that's how they've overcome squeezing a portrait image onto a landscape screen. Cut the car into front and rear halves and show front or rear (with a small side graphic showing both) depending on which direction you're heading.RobbiZ4 said:Before =>E89 - After => F-Series

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.enuff_zed said:Cos people have been overwhelmed by technology and forgotten how to park using their mirrors??RustyZ4 said:Why ???![]()

Useful for people who would need to rotate a paper map to point in the direction they're travelling :roll:

I have the same issue with my garage. But no PDC!!!!
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 do! But I've resolved that. I keep a photo of the garage wall in the car, so I can use that :?![]()

It's not me who wants to rotate it. I'm happy with it the way it is.RustyZ4 said:I get the pdc viewer, use mine all the time,, I just wondered why you would want to rotate it
