By the way, if I try "ACSM_5[1B2D]\a_pdc_fp aktiv using BimmerCode in Expert Mode, which Module should I look for? Thanks.
It's not just a MY thing. It's a US region AND Model year thing.

UK/non-US cars have had this feature since the G05 was released. I'm guessing there must have been some regulatory change between 03/19 and 07/19 builds, although why BMW didn't retrofit on i-step update for US cars I don't know.

Maybe the same reason they didn't retrofit ADV for any earlier MY globally - they couldn't be bothered regression testing earlier models.

Some of these newer MY features are hardware dependant, like the aPDC with braking on flank - that refuses to work on my 03/19 car despite my enabling it in coding. Suspect there needs to be additional sensors on each flank/side of the car that are missing from earlier models.

I don't use bimmercode, but I'd wager you wont be able to code it without esysx
