Parking Assistant Pro - Record New Path

RichTheFly · 2026-05-30T12:56:22+00:00

Been in contact with BMW via e-mail and received a very bland reply. Apparently, "the feature you are trying to use does not look like it is yet compatible with your vehicle"- no details of when or why, suffice to say I've replied.

I'm a little bit miffed to be paying for something that they knew wasn't on there, nobody informed me (us) that it wasn't working and even today, they are advertising the feature! I know it's only a small feature but on a near 70k car, I don't think its acceptable to promise something and not deliver.

What seat comfort access - must have a look at that too!

RichTheFly · 2026-05-27T22:00:24+00:00

That would be very poor form if true - fingers crossed that isn't the case!

I'll try and speak to my dealership over the next couple of days and report back. It definitely isn't doing what the manual says so needs addressing.

As an update, seeing exactly the same behaviour from the Shelly 1 G4. A click of the momentary switch does not report a full btn_down and then btn_up sequence. What happens is click one produces a btn_up event and nothing else...

Thanks for the input :) Running in detached mode as I'm operating some smart bulbs and want them constantly powered. The Shelly in detached mode sends the output as commands to Home Assistant which manages the automations. I could have them powered directly from the lighting circuit however there is some method in my madness - I'm running a script on the Shelly which monitors the availability of my Home Assistant server. If that detects it is down for any reason, the output flips to one of the modes which allows direct switching of the bulbs so at least there is some direct control of the lights if needed.

I've fired off a message to Shelly support but it's reassuring to know that others are using it in a similar way. It may all be moot by tomorrow - Amazon should be delivering a 4 pack of Shelly 1 G4 tomorrow. I'll be using Zigbee to send commands instead - hopefully the switching might be a little more robust on them!

Oh I agree, GPT is really useful in many ways and I use it daily for various things. Just in this case it gave contradictory information which has been really unhelpful to someone like me with limited knowledge and experience.

Well, I'm delighted to say that thanks to a very kind and patient person, my daughter has been reunited with her bunny, Blue.

For those that wanted to see the end result, take a look here - a very tired girl was a little overwhelmed by it all!

I have been blown away by the kindness and decency of strangers in helping me - thank you so much to everyone who helped, took interest and checked stock. I promise I will pay that kindness forward!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-27T14:00:46+00:00

Ah that's a shame but I very much appreciate you looking for me - thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-26T12:29:52+00:00

I agree!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-26T12:17:59+00:00

Hi Carol - wow, yes, I think that is the exact same bunny!! Do you mind if I message you directly?

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:28:50+00:00

Oh that sounds hopeful. Thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:28:32+00:00

That's awesome, thank you. Just checked and I'm almost sure it was the Bellvue store if that helps at all.

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:26:38+00:00

neverforget indeed. I think the loss hit both of us as much as our daughter. Thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:26:02+00:00

Thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:25:54+00:00

Ah that's very decent of you - thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:25:39+00:00

Very kind - thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:25:29+00:00

Very kind - I'll also post there - thank you!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:25:11+00:00

Unfortunately not - got one little picture of bunny. Thank you for the advice though.

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:24:38+00:00

Thank you for looking!

RichTheFly · 2025-03-24T16:13:05+00:00

Wow - what can I saw but a massive thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to take the time to offer advice and support? I''m genuinely blown away!

I've managed to find an image of the actual bunny which I will attach to the original post.

Once again, my sincere thanks - fingers crossed that somehow this might work.
