[stevo16]

Hi everyone,could someone help me out,i have a 2005 3.0tdi sline c6 .I am getting a short beep noise after 5 seconds of starting up the car,also cant remember if it did this before i performed the update ,plus reverse and forward parking aid is not working and the little car with parking markers has gone of the MMI screen when i go back or forward dont no if this has anything to do with the beep noise.
Cheers

If i remember its the car telling you the key fob battery is low or something like that.

Funny enough i put a new battery in today but still likes to beep at me ,thanks for the heads up though

As soon as you select a gear you get a beep to inform you that PDC is disabled...I guess because it could be a safety issue. Most often its due to a faulty sensor and a fault scan will tell you which one.

If you can afford it get a genuine VCDS cable.

That's cheap for a genuine bit of kit.

ford vcm is around the £2000 for the genuine kit.

See if you can find somebody near you who has VCDS to run a scan for you.

Cannot seem to find anyone with one locally,i did put it in reverse with ignition on but none of the rear parking sensors are clicking .The little park assist light on the dash button is flashing like crazy though.
