You select E39 by pressing the F3 button or clicking on the E39 button at the bottom of the screen. This is indicated by the circles next to the Battery and Ignition text fields showing as solid black. The Inpa software should show the battery and Ignition as being on. When Inpa starts, switch on the ignition to position II.Start the Cable-Shack menu and choose the Inpa menu option.The method I used to test the PDC with Inpa is detailed here.
This time Inpa shows that both the middle PDC are showing something behind the car, at different distances. It seems like this issue only happens during the summer months as during the winter I had no issues at all, it started to get warmer again and the PDC started to play up again.
This time I used the BMW Scanner software to test the PDC module and it reports no errors. It came back to spring again and the issue started again. I bought the car in June and around October time it stopped randomly making the noises and worked as I would expect.

This showed that the driver side middle PDC though that there was something around 50 inches from the car when nothing is behind. Since I took ownership of my car the back PDC (Park Distance Control) sensors have not been working as they should, they beep a lot as though there is something behind me when there isn’t. I used the Inpa software from Cable-Shack to test the individual PDC to see if I could determine if there was one PDC which was at fault.
