Well the answer is in and computer says no. Either reversing or forwards it won't do it. Your supposed to go in forwards for remote parking because it'll steer in this mode. Can see it turning the wheels to line up but it's not happy.

Even after I've driven it in myself and then back out so it's perfectly aligned it'll slam on the anchors as it gets to the opening. So seems my car is going to be destined to live on the driveway. Bummer.
Sorry to hear that, thought it might be the case though, likely as by the time the sensors notice something and decide how to react it needs time = space otherwise it could hit...I’ve always been curious about the size of the U.K. storage sheds oops, i mean garages. Not a car since the 70’s that will fit in them really. (At least new build ones from the 90’s onwards I’ve seen)
