Parking Assistance Malfunction
Well, this message came up. I was attempting to park in my garage and I always hit the parking assistance button before I enter for the cameras and a Parking Assistance Malfunction came up in the main screen.
I should have taken a picture of it, but I acknowledged the error and it just went back to the Apple Car Play screen. The parking assistance button on the center console remained highlighted as if it were on but nothing was displayed and the proximity sensors weren't working. Only has 2k miles on it. |

The only other time I've seen this is when I was driving in a "TORRENTIAL" down pour of rain. That's only happened maybe two times. Sounds like your error message randomly pops up even without any external weather conditions. |

My message popped up under similar circumstances: clear weather and it hadn't rained in a few weeks prior to the event.
It hasn't come back for me, by the way. What's strange to me at least is if it were related to debris on a proximity sensor, for example, then why would the camera not work? I personally don't believe it is debris related and something more hardware related that is just semi or intermittingly faulty. A common component that is necessary to operate the camera, sensors and/or the parking system itself. |

I apologize for bringing up this old thread. I had a similar issue with my car, and it turned out that I had a control module issue in the system. I did a lot of searches on this issue and came to a depth article which may be worth reading, search for "BMW parking assist malfunction problems on YOUCANIC" and you will see an article that goes over common causes and possible fixes, you can read about it yourself. I hope this information can assist someone else with a similar issue.
