Been away so car sat for 2 weeks doing nothing, had an update message (already had latest one which reinstates the front camera icon, reset the wing mirrors to not autofold etv) anyway I have noticed the parking sensors no longer go berserk like they did. Slightly concerned they arent working fully anymore but they seem to be, i can get very very close to walls etc to the side of the vehicle now without it going crazy.

Anyone else noticed?

Yes I've noticed this both with the side and front parking aid sensors. Besides pulling up to familiar parking bumpers that use to set off the sensors, I am seeing this pulling into my garage. My two car garage has two separate single openings. One is 10' wide and the other is 9'. I normally park on the side with the 10' wide opening and it has never sets off the sensors. The side of the garage with the 9' opening also has a floor hydraulic car lift that I drive over. When pulling into that side of the garage, as I would enter, the side sensors would pick up the narrower opening left and right sides of the garage. As I would pass through, the side sensors would stop and then the front sensors would pick up the floor lift about one foot before I start to drive over it. Now, none of the parking aid sensors detect the garage opening or the car lift. They do work but I have to get much closer to an object than before.

Nope. Sheeba is still a complete nervous Nelly who freaks out if there is a paper cup on the ground behind me when backing into a space ??.

I'm okay with her being over cautious. She's kept me from tagging the fence along my driveway while backing out of the garage numerous times. Good girl.
