PDC auto activation mode not working

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
The "auto pdc/ top view camera" suppose to activate when you getting close to an object in low speed. It doesn't turn on automatically in my car. (Car has all the options).
All the appropriate settings in the I drive are checked. I called Bmw Genius Team, and they asked me to reset I drive, no luck. The guy suggested that I should take the car back to the dealership, which is the pain in the rear end. Anybody else have had this problem before?

We are having the same problem with a 2021 X7 M50. Dealership says PDC activates automatically but can't ever prove that it works. It has worked 1 time in 2 months.

It does activate automatically but for some reason on the X7 you must get very close to the object for it to activate.
For example on my wife's X3, it will auto activate when you are within 2 ft of an object. On the X7 it requires you to be within 6-8 inches.
I brought this up with the dealer and we tested it, and sure enough once I'm within 6-8 inches, it will auto activate.

Not working 99% chance on mine...I have seen auto activation at least once but unsure how that was triggered. Maybe hit a wall....
