If you press and hold the camera button for 3 seconds it will start recording.

EDIT: I was mistakenly pressing the parking button. It should be the Camera button. Tested it again and it works. Please disregard my post below.

I tried it on MY21 X5, didn't do anything. Am I missing something?

You have to make sure you have the settings configured for "Manual" activation. See below.

I think the OP is talking about the surround and parking camera, not the Drive recorder.

Thanks, I have it set to both options, I meant pressing and holding the button about 3 seconds didn't trigger recording.

I was referring to the OP of the thread, not you. Make sure you are pressing the surround camera button and not the parking camera button for the drive recorder to activate. I also wouldn't set it to manually but rather Automatically or Manually to ensure you have the automatic recording when an incident occurs. There has been some discussion on whether that setting really matters but no need to take the chance.
