BMW X5 E70 / X6 E71 Block with Parking Brake Button and AUTO HOLD Function — a ready-made solution for upgrading or repairing the electronic parking brake (EPB) system on BMW X5 (E70) and BMW X6 (E71) crossovers. The device serves two purposes: replacing a faulty standard parking brake activation button and adding the advanced AUTO HOLD function, which may not have been originally included in your vehicle's equipment.
If the parking brake button in your BMW X5 E70 or X6 E71 is broken, has mechanical damage, or worn contacts, this block is a direct and 100% compatible solution to restore system functionality. It fully replicates the original geometry and connector, and installation is performed in the standard location without any modifications.
Key advantage — the ability to activate the AUTO HOLD function on vehicles where it was not originally provided in the factory configuration. After installing the block and its simple software connection (without additional wiring, connector modifications, or complex coding), you get a fully functional automatic vehicle hold system.
How does AUTO HOLD work in BMW X5/X6 E70/E71 after block installation?
- The function is specifically designed for comfortable driving in heavy city traffic, long traffic jams, and at traffic lights.
- After activating the function and coming to a complete stop (e.g., at a red light), you no longer need to keep your foot on the brake pedal.
- The system automatically activates the electronic parking brake (EPB). The brake lights remain on, enhancing safety.
- When you decide to move, simply press the accelerator pedal. The system instantly and smoothly releases the parking brake, and the vehicle begins moving.
- The entire process is accompanied by visual indication on the instrument panel: when AUTO HOLD is activated, a green pictogram lights up, informing the driver of the system's operation.
Installing the block is not just a button repair but a full-fledged upgrade for your BMW. The AUTO HOLD function works completely standard after installation, integrates into the onboard electronics, and is correctly displayed on the instrument panel, just like in factory-equipped vehicles.
