Soooo..... just drove past 2 speed cameras that have been in-place for at least 6 months..... nothing.

Tried without the gps, and with GPS running.... neither worked.

Currently searching for an update. Maybe that'll work

I hope this is available for UK cars. I had the feature on my XC90 and loved it, month after getting my X5 I smash through a camera at 80

It can't be illegal in the UK if the Volvo had it.

Waze is ok to use through CarPlay, however having a 45e I need to use the in built sat nav for the adaptive hybrid mode which means I can't use waze all the time.

I don't even see it available to me to buy in the online ConnectedDrive Store. Am I looking in the right location? I'm in the web portal that shows all of my subscribed services with a STORE link. That application isn't shown in the STORE.

Maybe it is because what X5 45e said that is is illegal in Europe/Belgium.
So they only give the information about the states/countries where it is allowed/rolled out.

Therefore you might not see anything?

I got a confirmation email after purchase, and within the email, it said to connect to BMW, and update all apps and services. Went out to my car, and no connection was available.

That figures. Maybe it just takes a little while.

I checked again this morning and it is not on my cart and not available for my car now. Which is weird. Maybe that is they did not accept my payment (tried American Express and Visa, both no good) and this morning "it just disappear, like a miracle"

It disappeared from the store entirely today. I paid and used it in the car yesterday and it no longer shows for me. I haven't tested if it is gone in the car as well.

Perhaps it was rolled out too soon ahead of the upcoming July update?

Funny...... because they were quick to send me a confirmation email..... and even quicker to charge my credit card.

I'm going to be f-ing pissed if BMW screwed this up.

Cool, thanks. Wonder if it's been pulled from my car too. I don't see it in the CD store anymore.

Update: I was able to purchase the app

Here is what I did,

I called BMW Connected 1-888-333-6118 (option 7) and told them about the Safetycam or Traffic Camera Info that it was available yesterday but now it is nowhere to be found. After a few minutes on hold. They asked me to add my payment info on my personal data (they have issue with Amex, I used Visa). Person I am talking with place the order and it went through and i got confirmation that I am subscribing...

I will try it out later....

Thank you for subscribing to the following BMW ConnectedDrive services:

Safetycam

You will soon be able to use the subscribed services in your BMW with the Vehicle Identification Number .

We recommend carrying out an Update Service in order to update the connection.

This can be performed as follows:

Depending on the year and type of your vehicle, go to BMW Assist, ConnectedDrive or Apps by using your iDrive control unit.

Under BMW Assist or ConnectedDrive:
- Open Settings (button around your iDrive control unit).
- Click on Update BMW Services.

Under Apps:
- Click on All Apps.
- Open Settings (button around your iDrive control unit).
- Click on Update apps and services.

I'm still subscribed and it works in my car, but it's not showing up in the ConnectedDrive Store right now. I'm assuming it was pushed out quickly on accident or that there is some backend changes going on. I wouldn't be surprised though, as it seems like July 2020 will be a big month for BMWs worldwide with iDrive 7.

Funny you mention that. I tried to go back and check it out, but it's gone. Hopefully the folks who paid for it and have tested it still have access.

This might also explain why some people had issues with it not recognizing the traffic cameras when they drove by them multiple times.

For those that it DOES work...... does it work all the time..... or only if you are currently using the GPS to navigate somewhere?
