BMW 5 Series: Remote Control Parking
The Remote Control Parking assistant became available for the first time in
the G12. This assistance
system enables the vehicle to be maneuvered in and out of a parking space
remotely using the
BMW display key. The system assists the driver to park in tight parking bays or
enclosed spaces (such
as garages or in multi-story car parks), where it is difficult for the driver to
get in and out of the vehicle.

G30 Remote Control Parking
Automatic parking in and reversing out of bay parking spaces is possible by
activating the "remote-
controlled parking" function on the display key.
The Remote Control Parking, optional equipment (OE 5DV), is only available for
certain models and
national-market versions. In addition, the assistance system can only be ordered
in conjunction with
the following equipment:
- Steptronic sport transmission (OE 2TB)
- Comfort Access (OE 322)
- BMW display key (OE 3DS)
- Parking Assistant Plus (OE 5DN)
- Professional navigation system (OE 609)
The entire parking procedure is monitored by the Park Distance Control and
Parking Maneuvering
Assistant ultrasonic sensors and the Surround View cameras within their system
limits. The driver is
outside the vehicle while it is being parked. He must, however, check the
situation around the vehicle
by looking around and can cancel the parking procedure at any time using the BMW
display key. If the
driver leaves the operating range, the vehicle stops automatically.
