lights_parking sensor no longer available

[lolouk44]

Describe the issue

One of the sensors (binary_sensor.lights_parking) is always showing unavailable since the past 2 HA releases and my logs get flooded with this:

The parking light data is not available anymore, at least for some cars, in the BMW ConnectedDrive API. I had the same with my car.
Fix is on the way -> #295
