Rear Parktronic Not Working?
Just to make sure there is not some setting I'm missing...
The front Parktronic works - I hear beeps when I pull forward toward something. But I get no indicator or beeps when I back towards something (I put a garbage can about 18" behind the car to check.)
The rear view camera does work, but the Parktronic should work at the same time, right?
I have tried turning the camera off, and turning on the Parktronic Off switch in the center of the dashboard.
Oh well...

The rear-view camera and Parktronic's work at the same time. The rear parktronic indicators are just above the rear windshield.
I much preferred my 745i's graphical representation of the parking sensors on the I-Drive - they should have done something similar on the dash LCD.

Okay, it is working - sorry. I didn't know where the lights were, and I was used to my Navigator where the beep starts much earlier. I guess the MB relies on lights for most of the approach, and only uses the audio warning when you are very close.
