Random parktronic beeping and A/C fan cycling
The last few days, when i first start driving the car, the parktronic will randomly beep. Its usually just one beep maybe 4 or 5 times in the first 5 minutes of driving. I've only seen the red lights flash once (and that was when it beeped 3-4 times).. its really crazy.. then today on my way to my hotel.. the A/C fan started to cycle from full blast down to a low speed.. but then it would kick right back up again. No alerts, no msgs. This is on a 2005 E55. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Inspect the Parktronic sensors for interference, cleanliness, and proper orientation. If all looks fine PM your VIN, I will check to see if your vehicle is equipped with current less sensitive sensors.

Are any of your sensors pushed in? My front ones started doing that, and I noticed one of the sensors is pushed in a little / not flush with the bumper. Dealer wants $120 for a new sensor. I just ignore it, as it doesn't happen that frequently. Is there an easy way to realign it?
