Hello Everyone,
I have a few questions about setting up Front parking sensors and reverse camera for Ds3 Crossback ( performance line, manual )
In the trim level documentation, it says that (City Pack) can be purchased for the vehicle and have the front parking sensors and reverse camera setup.
My questions:
1. I have installed the front parking sensors and they are working as intended.
For the front sensors to work I had to change the ECU module from 4-channel (9836044880)l to 12-channel( 9836031080)
I did not do any coding in the BSI, and in the BSI configuration for parking assistance it shows that the car is equipped with rear sensors and a reverse camera, is this correct?
Issue:
If I drive forward and there is an obstacle, the display shows it correctly. If I start reversing then the front parking sensors all go red as if there is an obstacle next to the car, but I am driving away from the obstacle?
Is this behavior normal?
Do I need to change extra settings in BSI?
2. I wired up the required camera (9832294580) to the bsi.
I activated the reverse camera via the diagbox, and it was successful. ( I had the data pins mixed up before and activation was failing, So I know now it detects the camera since it passes the activation)
I can see the Bsi now writes that parking assistance is (back parking sensors + camera).
When I engage the reverse gear I still only see the parking sensors and no camera.
Would this be an issue with BSI potentially not supporting it? Do I have the wrong camera? ( I think there are 2 generations of this camera each corresponding to a specific BSI model?)
Can this be a Display Unitsupport issue? I have the 7-inch display and it can be updated to 10 inches, but since the City Pack does not mention the upgrade to a 10-inch display it makes me think this should work as is.
I have a paid-for Diagbox account, so can make adjustments.
Thank you!

Re: DS3 Crossback Front PDC, Reverse Camera
I can't help with this one as Citroen provide aftermarket installation of these systems on some models but depends on what equipment you had to start with. With the camera there is extensive modifications to connect the kit up correctly (loom, wiring, fusebox, ECU etc.) and I suspect that this may be the reason why you are getting conflicting information on the display / operation.

Re: DS3 Crossback Front PDC, Reverse Camera
Figured the issue with the camera.
The camera needs to be activated in the vehicle delivery section of Diagbox, and that is the part I have completed.
But also the camera needs to be enabled in the telematic Unit. (Repair->Telematic Unit->Repair->Pack Repair-> Initialising->Programming of the visual reversing assistance 180.
I have a problem where after clicking the program I am stuck on the Initialising screen, I waited 15 minutes, and nothing was happening, the lock icon in the diagbox is always flashing at the same intervals.
Am I missing a step here? is there a reason the screen is stuck?
Can this be because I have a RCC Fault code? B1003 55 Secure configuration.
Thanks in advance!

Re: DS3 Crossback Front PDC, Reverse Camera
This means it is in secure mode and needs authorisation before you can programme it - probably a token and authorisation code.

Can you provide more information?
I have a token for this vehicle, how can I perform Authorization?

Re: DS3 Crossback Front PDC, Reverse Camera
I believe you have to use their official version of Diagbox (and I see you aren't using the up to date version from the screenshot), and assume when you go to programme it that you will be given a reference which you provide and they authorise it in real time. I may be wrong but that is the way it's going now:

It's to prevent tempering with sensitive or safety devices for example on cars and only accredited individuals will be given access as far as I can see.
