BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant (additional personalization)
In order to use all of the features of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, you must create a driver profile. Once you log in, you will be able to set your own personal activation word to interact with your BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant.

This update allows you to adjust the behavior of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Depending on who is in the vehicle and where you are going, you can decide how the Assistant behaves. You can choose whether incoming notifications are displayed normally, shown only to you, or hidden completely. You can see which setting is currently active by the notification icon in the in-car status bar.

All services and settings for your BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant can now be accessed directly in its own menu. Would you like to know what else the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant can do? Then check out the new video in the user manual in the vehicle.

Navigation improvements (extended function)
The all-new “Fuel Price” map view visualizes fueling options for the customer’s needs right on the map. Gas station locations along with their respective fuel prices are displayed. This way, it is possible to explore and choose the optimal gas station based on proximity, brand and price. Additionally, a detailed list of surrounding gas stations can be viewed by selecting “Gas stations search”. When selecting “Place to stop”, the user can search for further relevant Points of Interest categories.

Dangerous Curve Assistant (new function)
The Dangerous Curve Assistant warns about upcoming, potentially dangerous curves by sending a notification to the instrument cluster. For this, the installed map version must be Q4 2018 (or later).

Parking Space Assistant (new function)
Looking for parking near your destination? The Parking Space Assistant suggests free parking spaces in garages or on the street and guides you along the route with the highest probability of finding a parking spot.

Parking Assistant for parallel parking (extended function)
Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road is made easier for you with this extended function.

Active Park Distance Control (extended function)
When backing into a parking space, this improved feature will help you avoid collisions. There is now an additional brake intervention during the maneuvering process as soon as obstacles appear in the rear or side areas.

I noticed these yesterday as well.

Mentions auto PDC breaking on the side - I don't have that on mine even though I am on 11/2019.x and never had it when on 07/2019.x either.

It can be enabled in coding, well the menu item for it at least, but does anyone on a pre July 19 build who has the later i-step have this feature? I expect MY20 builds to have it regardless.

[randybobandy]

That I’m not sure. I’m just glad to see something up there. It’s funny though, since you have to click the section at the bottom under recommended to even get the notes. These are probably useless since 11/2019!

Hmm... i have that and I can assure you it helped me 2 times at least not hitting someone elses car or the wall in the parking lot. Im on July update.

On the other hand it sometimes prevents me from going into my parking space because it thinks that i'm going to hit a wall for some reason. I had a situation with my friend who stood next to my car and was laughing at me because I couldn't park the car and tried couple of times and the car break every time. It was funny for him, but I didn't know how to handle that for a while

You have this menu option in iDrive including the Flank option?

Did your car come with 07/2019.x or was it upgraded OTA or at dealer?

[mgnmpl]

Oh, I see. My options look like this below. I thought that it works on all sensors, not only those in the back because it stops me often when I have a wall on a side more then in the back.

Maybe it is something different.

Yes it's different as the car will auto brake if you are going to side swipe a pole (for example). With rear braking only, it will occasionally brake if the rear sensors mistake a side object as being behind at the back,when they are actually just off to the side.

I guess only MY 2020 get the side auto pdc braking and the release notes are at best ambiguous.

[anuj452]

Can you please PM me the coding for enabling the PDC , will try to test if it works...
mine is Mar-2019 build and I am on 07/2019.70

Can you pm the coding as well. I would like to see if I will work on my G05.

Thanks in advance....

Sorry guys no offence but Im not getting involved with PM coding people info. If there's anything I want to contribute coding wise it'll be directly on the forum, and it will be very specific.

For this specific code try HU_MGU\ACTIVE_PDC_FLANKENBREMSUNG: aktiv [01]

That makes the menu option available but will need more coding elsewhere (SRR/SRS) I suspect, OR the hardware (sensors) are different on MY2020.

If you can't see the option you need later psdxzdata and/or later launcher/esysx.
Launcher pro have different mapping text descriptions so depends which you use. The above code is using esysx.

I haven't spent much time on this as its not something I want. I can see the benefit but it would drive me bonkers constantly braking everytime something is close.

on mine - you have to get very very close for PDC to take over. Essentially the senor tone that beeps is going continuously before it kicks in. I use it all the time in my garage and it stops my car short of the front wall by about 5 inches.

thanks will try this

A word of caution... If you don't know what you're doing 100% you could conceivably code the option to show up in the iDrive menu, but not actually code the capabilities. I would make sure you know exactly what you're doing. Especially for a feature like this where you might depend on it kicking in, but it never does.

Good advice.

On this one, if you can tick it in the menu it should work fine. If you can't tick then generally there are missing FDL codes, hardware isn't supported, or the i-step doesn't have the full code to support the feature.

With this one I think you need to activate the high_performance_hardware in all 4 instances of SRR, SRS aka [4146].

If the car model/year doesnt support that HPH then ISTA will complain if you do a health check.

Mine auto brakes 1 every 4th time when reversing out of the garage. It's a pita- have to fight with it to get out.

I now use reversing assistant and it's flawless.

Yeah - I love the reverse assistant! One annoying thing is I also love Auto Hold but it's a PIA to use with reversing assistant. I wish when you were in the "park" level controls, it would auto disable Auto H like it does ASS.

So today I coded "HU_MGU\ACTIVE_PDC_FLANKENBREMSUNG: aktiv [01]" to the MGU HU, gave me the option of the advanced PDC, but the option to select the feautre is grayed out. It needs other codes for it to work. Looked through the other modules, SRS which my car has like 4 of those and one named "VDP" but couldn't find anything related to the Active PDC. Maybe someone else can find the other coding to make this work.

Could try this. Might not work but its part of the changes for 07/2019.x and fits the usage. Ultimately this option may not be code-able for MY2019 due to hardware differences.
