I just finished retrofitting Park Assist for my wife's F20 116i.

I used KKS's write up () and roxxor's write up () to guide me in the installation. The install was so much similar that I do not see that there is a need to do a re-write.

I sourced the parts using Ebay, Cars245.com, FCPeuro.com and AliExpress.com. The total is about $1000.00 AUD ($750.00 USD) only because I was not prepared to wait anymore as it took 6months to source the parts. The sourcing of parts took about 6months the install took 2 days ( 1.5days wiring and installing the sensors and 0.5day coding).

Ebay - a secure and reliable source specially if one use paypal
Cars245.com - almost all of the parts available. Courier services takes too long however it is very much secure.
FCPeuro - Fast and secure (brand new parts)
Aliexpress - cheapest option (Chinese soucrce) but takes incredibly long time to get the item.

Note that there are no 'kit' available you will need to get the wiring diagrams and parts for your car.

Hope this helps those who would do the retrofit.

Just a follow up. Those who would do this retrofit make sure you do the following:

1. Vo code the following ecu - DSC, REM, HU_CIC/NBT, TRSVC, ICM, and PMA and last but most important EPS.
2. Check that in EPS 3003 - Functionality Switches - Function - SingleAngleControlInterface is set to PMA on (default is PMA off). If this setting is not made the parking operation stops when the steering is about to begin to turn.

Below is a list of materials and parts I used and the out of pocket cost. The sourcing of parts took 6months and istallation took 2 days total and a week to sort out coding above.
