X5 e53 reverse sensors video required please

[X5smw]

Hi all. Can someone help pleases 

im after a video of an e53 with working reversing sensors. Basically, I have repaired mine and it’s showing no faults, but it’s beeping and bleeping more than R2D2 on crack. …. Can you do a video with it not on, put it in reverse and then move so it picks stuff up so I can compare it to a normal car please! 😂

Normal 🤣 This is a BMW Forum 🤣

I will make a Video later today

Here you go Stu don't know if this helps or not 

You can see the Front sensors working the rear sensor is acting up after I jet washed it

As an after thought just checked my rear sensor it had been dislodged and set back so was seeing th bumper edge as a hazard, Dohhh

So check they are all sitting right

Mine has decided it wants to warn people of its presence…. There is nothing around it. When I stand in front of the sensors individually they all click and the buzzer starts correctly, but move and it thinks the world is attacking it!

Hi Stu

Oerr that sounds bonkers are you sure you dont have one that is a little masked doesnt take much, the rear sensor on mine wassitting back about 1mm if that

They all seem correct and clean, and when it’s quiet, each sensor seems to work as it should. But as soon as you move, it goes mental and doesn’t pick up normal things like walls, just screams itself silly! 
no faults are present an 1.4.0 and all sensors bring faults when unplugged. It’s driving me mad!

Morning Stu

The system is fairly simple sensors on each bumper a loom to conect them and the control unit tucked down by the battery. If the trailer is plugged in the rear sensors should be disabled if that is all working OK I would remove the control unit and check the plugs and pins where it is often gets moisture problems. I have changed a few over the years for friends and family last one was from Global parts and was £25 if I recall

Right! …. Changed the unit…. Still screaming away! lol.

all the sensors are clicking away happily but it seems to be the high pitched tone is constant and interrupted by the lower… so I’m assuming it’s a front sensor confusing the system. 
 

any suggestions?? 
 

(apart from press the button to shut it up!) haha.

Ear Defenders 😅 

Could well be a front sensor masked a little or possibly the sounder ? you getting nothing from 1.4.0 ?
