Default Passion BMW help needed please

I’m hoping someone can help I have a bmw F10 and the parking sensors have stopped working, I get a fault come up on the I drive saying to get the car checked at a dealer.. I have put my ear to all the sensors and get no clicking on any of them and as far as I can tell the car doesn’t have a specific PDC module..

any ideas more more than welcome

im considering buying a Carly device to see if that could point out the fault

Have a check and see if the btool app will work with an F10. It only costs Ł10, with work with any bluetooth adapter and reads bmw specific codes.

Carly is good but expensive

I've got carly and it is pretty good. However if you buy it now, it requires a yearly subscription.

I was going to buy carly ages ago they discovered btool.

It's a great app, can display all the live data from the ecu. You can choose what values you want to see so it's great for fault finding, especially regarding dpf issues.

It can't do coding though

Are BM cables no longer trading? When I had my e39 I bought one of their cables, was a good bit of kit.

I've got a BM cables one too, it works with the bmw DIS/GT1 software? It's good once you've got the hang of how to use it.

The version I have needed an older laptop to operate on though
