Thanks for the try, that picture looks like it's showing you at least some image, is that from your phone now? I didn't mean pre-record but at least start recording, it's better than nothing. Do you guys use an actual dashcam on your X5s? I hard-wired one on my Q7, only to find out Q7 cuts power to most fuses completely when Auto Start/Stop activates (not when it shuts down, but when it re-starts, I guess it stops everything else to achieve quicker auto-start). So everytime it starts, it cuts off the video and causes dashcam to restart. Otherwise I would need to wire it to "always on" fuse which runs the risk of draining the battery, and I didn't have enough room in the fuse box area to use a low-voltage cut off chip which costs like $10 on Amazon. I heard there are some newer and smarter dashcams that has this built in but most people don't trust those and don't want to be stranded with drained battery. This is one reason I was hoping I could use the drive recorder to almost completely eliminate the dashcam, but it sounds like that's the case.

There could easily be a 2-3 second delay from the bump the the moment when all the required computers, cameras and the hard disk are up and running and a lot can happen during that time. :-(

When the car is switched off it goes into parking mode and records on motion (most of the time!). My car is generally only used on the weekends (its a second car) and I haven't had any issues with battery drain etc..... |

I've just had BMW carry out a software update whilst the car was in for another issue and was told that BMW hasn't caught up with their side yet (whatever that means) and also Apple's latest release isn't compatible with their App either so 3D wont work for us! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't some of you UK'ers had 3D working? I never have, neither has the App worked for very long, hopefully that's resolved now. We need Apples 14.2 here in the UK but we've only just gotten 14.1

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize BMW made dashcam. At $450 kinda steep for something that doesn't have a display and needs wire running from front the back. I guess it's a deal if they didn't charge you add'l installation fee for this. Some of the other car makers have dashcams that go into mirror housing that makes it blend in. If there is an easy way to route cables in the back, I might just toss a $100 dashcam on the back like I did on my Q7, I remove the tailgate trim and D pillar panel and run the wire around, it looked clean and works fine, but of course it doesn't sync front/back. Other option is to keep the stationary damage deductible at $500. Otherwise we are just helping the insurance company by installing the dashcam that works while parked. Maybe the insurance companies should send us the dashcams for free on full coverage low deductible plans.

My remote 3D view worked fine until I upgraded to IOS 14 and and still doesn't work after upgrading to IOS 14.0.1. My BMW Genius said I'll most likely have to wait until the My BMW app is released to the US market. At least I can stop wasting hours trying to get it to work since I now know its not just me having problems with it!

Honestly, there's nothing special to it over others. You can connect to it via your smartphone and wifi, but that's not the most reliable. I still tend to remove the card and use my laptop if I need to view back any footage to be honest. I just wanted to keep everything 'BMW' and only went for it because I got a deal on it. All cabling was installed behind panels etc, so you dont see any cabling either. Otherwise I would have gone elsewhere. Have tested a few others and they are all quite good: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...pmwvM9dYkRunp9 |

14.1 went GA on Tuesday, so upgrade to that and see if it works. Given mine now works as of beta 2 and my CD app is the same general version from 3 weeks ago, I wonder: Is the issue really the CD app? EDIT: Sorry, the 14.1 GM went out - not to consumers yet. Might be another week for that, likely to coincide with the iPhone 12 ship date.

I asked our service dir to look into it and he thinks it def has something to do with the app itself. He was thinking the updated 14.1 update must have had issues with the app and the app needs to update on their end. Hopefully one or the other gets fixed soon I want to use that feature

If you want to test, the 14.2 beta 3 public beta is also out. You don't need a developer account to download it.
