Signature Rear Parking Sensors $500

Did you order the Driver Assist package ($750 option I ordered on mine)? If not, is the Signature supposed to come with rear parking sensors?

I see "Active Driving Assistant with Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning" as a standard feature, but not rear parking sensors on the Signature.

EDIT: I did not initially put this together with the previous conversations of "missing" parking distance sensors that are supposed to be standard: https://www.insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/2022-se-missing-rear-parking-sensors.11132/

I think you already figured this out, but yeah, rear park distance is supposed to be standard across the board according to the MINI website. I'll be curious to see if it shows up on mine. I can live without it, so if I can get a roof rack and cargo mats in exchange I'll consider it a win.

 

I don't see it on the website anymore but my dealer build sheet has it listed.

 

I see it

 

I am supposed to take delivery soon and want to make sure I get what I paid for. I ordered a Signature ($29.9K) with the Driver Assistance package (+$750). On the Vehicle Inquiry Report from time of order, I see the following two "Options" - 541 Active Cruise Control and 5DP Parking Assistant.

I don't understand how this might differ from the Rear Parking Sensor issue described above. Can someone let me know specifically what to look out for when I get to the dealer?? Tx!

 

The Parking Assistant requires both front and rear parking sensors. You'll see the round sensors on your fender flares.

 

Thanks. Hopefully they will be there. If not I will certainly raise a stink given I paid extra for this.

 

No forum members who ordered SEs with Parking Assist have reported they were shorted the parking sensors. It appears MINI was saving the sensors for cars that absolutely must have them for the Parking Assist feature.

 

If you see 5DP you won't also see 507 because parking distance is included in 5DP.

 

i just noticed exactly the same issue for my mini se now after delivery the last week of December. I found this thread as I was looking for solution that there’s no direction lines when I reverse using my backup camera which supposed to be a standard feature, does that happen to yours too? I will for sure contact my salesmen.

 

When you're in reverse, hit the options button on the iDrive system and you can turn the lines on.

 

Just as update to this older thread, we ordered a Signature the last week of August 2031 and it showed up with rear parking sensors the last day of November 2021.

 

My car is not here yet, but the rear park distance control is listed as standard in My Mini Garage. Hopefully it is so equipped.

 

I have the rear sensors and Honestly I’d rather just have the $500. It picks up on too much stuff that’s not directly behind you and the beeping is super annoying. And it start beeping far too early imo, like at least 5 feet away (and again, it beeps at things that are like more than a foot beside you that I was absolutely in no danger of hitting). I don’t have the front sensors though, and have found myself wishing I had them a few times. I would love to have front and back sensors, but I only need it to start telling me how close I am to something once I’m within 2-3 feet. I can eyeball it up til that point.

maybe that’s just me though. But the way the rear sensors are now, I’d rather just have $500.

 

I neither could turn the lines on nor could change the brightness/contrast while in reverse, those options are grayed out on my signature trim. Is that expected?
