2011 E70 35i PDF Malfunction (Rear Camera, Front and Rear Sensors don't work)

I am having issues where my back up camera don't work, and also my rear and front sensors for PDC. I am wondering if anyone had this issue before? Here are some pictures below.

Thanks for the reply omgboost.

My wife's X5d just recently experienced these exact same symptoms. One of the sensors in the front bumper had a rock hit. Insurance paid it in full since it was covered under comprehensive. Check the front sensors for a rock hit. If you're lucky that will be the cause, ~$600 otherwise. Look at the face of the sensor carefully, the sensor on my wife's X5 had a very small nick.

Wow! So one damaged sensor by a rock can ultimately make the all of the front and rear PDC sensors not work together? This disables the camera too? Have you brought the vehicle into the dealership for diagnosis?

Dealer did the repair.

I took liberty of what the OP stated about the rear camera not working as not able to use it properly. The camera worked my X5, but the PDC warning on the screen made it unuseable.

Alright that makes sense. Hopefully its just a sensor issue where it can be fixed. Hopefully after the camera will work. I am scheduled to bring it in on Thursday. Will keep this post updated. Others can chime in their experience as well.

Sorry for the late response. I took the car to my independent mechanic to check it out and they used a OBD2 read to clear the error code.

If you buy a Carly OBD2 adapter and the Carly BMW app, you will be able to read the error codes and clear them yourself.
