Thanks a lot. I have a tricky driveway and garage. Was wondering if a prerecorded route would work. After watching this video, I feel confident it would. Thanks for the great video.
Nice video I’m waiting for my 2024X5 to come in I don’t know if it’ll have every single feature that the ex Evan has but it probably will be close so I look forward to your new videos
Very cool feature. How is the brake feel? I test drove an X5 a couple of years ago and the brakes felt super touchy and hard to modulate for me. Thx, enjoy!
Thank you for your comment. Honestly, I have not noticed any issues with the brake feel. I'll pay more attention. Bmw brakes are generally very sensitive...guess I am used to it.
You don't have to be a test pilot to get used to them in the first drive - just a couple of minutes of time logged until you are just as smooth as any other car.
Hi man, so whenever I try to enter the garage, the recording stops, maybe due to an obstacle. Does it matter if the car backs towards the garage or facing matters? I have an easy garage to enter; it just gets tight as the car enters. Both mirror areas are clear. 24 x7 here.
It shouldn't matter if it faces forwards or backwards. The key is to record a consistent path without obstacles close by. You may have to record a second one with a different steering angle. Mine works flawlessly 99% of the time, unless one of the other cars is too close...then it stops due to obstacle. I have also recorded a separate one for night time. Hope this helps.
If you set the path, such that the car is parked pretty close to the wall, will it put it back in that same place each time or is it going to center the car between the wall and the other car in the garage?
@@Cbrullo I don't remember the exact sequence, but before or after you record, you can name and save it. I believe there is a limit to the number of recordings you can save.
For some reason my recorded path stops the minute I enter my garage. It doesn’t finish the recorded parking I have saved. Have you experienced this at all?
I have recorded separate ones for daytime and night time. It also stops for obstacles. I have not noticed this. You may want to delete and try recording again.
how about the reverse of parking? can we get the car out to where i am from the parking spot? starting by itself and follow me / come to kind of feature?
@@carminered3229I thought it would take the path 1 recording n reverse calculate to reverse / take out the car from the garage back to point A, where you initiated the recording,.
Man - what a fantastic review!! You sold me! Ordered mine this morning!
Thank you! 🙏

It sure will!
Mine comes next week! Thanks for your work in posting this!
Congratulations! You will love it!
Beautiful spec. Enjoy!
Thank you very much!
You may be happier if you teach it to reverse into the driveway and have it take a right turn into the garage! :-)
Will try it out. 🙂
I like this feature.
It is very useful.

Congratulations! You will love it.
If you ordered the parking assistance package on the x5. It should have this capability.
Thanks for your videos. How do you like the Sensafin interior? Does it feel and smell as nice as real leather?
Yes its great. Smells really good, even after 2 months.

@@carminered3229 I found it noticeable in stop and go traffic, but I guess owners get used to it. Thx.

I just got mine , when recording will it go from drive to reverse? I would like to go down my drive way then reverse into garage.
@Cbrullo Yes...I believe so. Mine backs up from the garage and then drives up the driveway. So the reverse should work too.

@@carminered3229 Thanks. I will give it a try.

@@arthurpolin8194 it will follow the exact path you taught it. ie, close to the wall.
I am pressing record new path and it does not prompt me to save it when i am done?

@@carminered3229Thank you! I will try that.
@@Sg-1116did you figure it out?
Do you think it works on 2023 BMW x7? Thanks
I think it should.
how about the reverse of parking? can we get the car out to where i am from the parking spot? starting by itself and follow me / come to kind of feature?
Yes, you can do it using the phone app as a remote control.
@@carminered3229 really? Is there any video that addresses this scenario ?
@@nhtna4706 I believe it's on you tube. I have not had a chance to film it myself yet.
So in this garage entry n exit, you used two path recordings?
@@carminered3229I thought it would take the path 1 recording n reverse calculate to reverse / take out the car from the garage back to point A, where you initiated the recording,.
