I was referring to the coding activating the feature.

I have no experience of the system working on any other car in any other region other than my own. I'm confident the coding is 100%, the rest is down to the software as is in i-step 07/2020.

Considering BMW haven't even released this feature yet, and only some EU countries seem to be on the list for 11/2020, it's very much 'use at your own risk'.

All I wanted to achieve from this exercise is to determine that the coding is solid, so that when it is released, we have options to:
1) activate in countries where not allowed due to regs but otherwise is fully functional
2) activate the feature retrospectively

I can imagine the BMW engineers reading this thread, holding their head in their hands and proclaiming 'no! it is not ready!'

Not rubbing it in, but in the UK it is a very usable comfort and safety feature even now. Just saying
