Installation time
The installation time for the rear PDC retrofit and the front PDC upgrade/retrofit is approx. 3.5 hours each.
If the rear PDC retrofit and the front PDC upgrade are installed at the same time, the installation time is approx.
5.5 hours. The installation time may vary depending on condition of the car and the equipment in it.
The vehicle must be updated to the latest I-level status by flashing before installing the retrofit. Differing
programming times may be necessary depending on the production age of the vehicle and on work previously
performed on the vehicle.
The installation time given does not include time needed for programming/encoding.
The total costs for the programming time should be taken into account when calculating retrofitting costs
(reimbursement through warranty is not permissible).

Important information

All work must be completed using the latest BMW repair manuals, circuit diagrams, servicing manuals and work
instructions in a rational order using the prescribed tools (special tools) and observing current health and safety
regulations.
If you experience installation or function problems, limit troubleshooting to approx. 0.5 hours for
mechanical or 1.0 hour for electrical work.
In order to reduce costs and avoid any additional expense, send a query immediately to the Technical Parts Support
via the Aftersales Assistance Portal (ASAP).
Specify the following information:
- Chassis number
