Yes, same observation here. The auto activation need to be very close the obstacle, too close for comfort for me. So I always have to manually activate. Comparing to my two previous SUV, MDX and QX60, they both did better in this aspect. More earlier and more consistent activation.

This morning I pulled into a parking garage and was worried about hitting the barrier in front of me, so I stopped as soon as the beeping really “freaked out”. I was still more than 18” from the barrier. My old M3 starts beeping when I’m about 36” away yet, which seems too soon.

Haven’t been impressed with the Asian manufacturers implementation of PDC. My kid’s Honda Ridgeline basically just has two levels of alert—“none” or “totally freaking out”.

Interesting....today I was messing around with my X and when finished, I did an iDrive reset, the long version. Then I took it out for a test drive and when driving back in the garage, the auto PDC screen popped up just as I got to the garage pad and displayed as it's supposed to. Will have to see if it stays set that way but it was sure nice to have the auto feature back, even for just one time

Rebooting iDrive do the trick? Experiencing this as well, have an appt coming up.
