Original BMW Park Distance Control (PDC) Control Unit for 5, 6, 7 Series, X5, and X6 (2002–2014)

The Original BMW Park Distance Control (PDC) control unit is the module that runs the parking sensor system on E60 and E61 5 Series, E63 and E64 6 Series, E65 and E66 7 Series, E70 X5, and E71 X6 models from 2002–2014. BMW names it the control unit PDC. A PDC module reads the ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers and drives the warning tones and display that tell the driver how close an obstacle is. This version entered production in March 2007, and BMW rates it as exchangeable retrospectively. That rating is why one part number covers cars built years before this unit existed. It is a new, unused unit made in Germany and sold individually.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This unit directly supersedes 66-20-9-116-264. Cross-reference data also ties it to a long run of earlier and parallel numbers: 66-21-9-116-264, 66-21-0-418-108, 66-20-0-410-420, 66-21-0-395-856, 66-21-0-393-721, 66-21-0-300-480, 66-21-6-918-126, 66-21-6-930-204, 66-21-6-942-677, 66-21-6-954-007, and 66-20-6-978-232. If the label on your old module shows any of those numbers, this is the current replacement. The same module serves five separate model lines, so the number on your existing unit is the quickest way to confirm a match.
