I'm waiting delivery of my i4 BMW and it has a reversing camera, Re the highbeam A I currently have this in my X1 drive 2 and it doesn't work, it's set to the letter A but I've never had the high beam work automatically. For an electric car, are they not getting full of automatic gadgets and screens which all take power from the battery? anyway thanks for the tips.

@BeamerView 6 ай бұрын

Reversing camera is there, I'd have to put it into reverse for it to show. All the newer cars are getting automatic high beams, this can either be engaged by pressing the button on the turn signal stock, or if you go into the exterior lighting menu there should be an option there for auto high beams.

Depends on the vehicle, if you have one of the new vehicles most likely not since they have the new mild hybrid system. Two ways you can check, one if there is a button near the gear shifter, the other go into settings and search for it if you have idrive 8. If not then you probably can't. You could go into sport mode and that will do the trick though.

@BeamerView Ай бұрын

Seems you're doing it correctly, if you have a vehicle with OS system 7. You would just have to make sure you make the changes and make sure you're safety settings are set to "individual" you're vehicle may not have this which you can tell if it has a green looking button near the hazard lights. I would try rebooting the system by holding down the vol button for 30 secs will the engine on to see if that helps. Lastly, if all fails I've heard of some countries preventing users from doing this as a safety feature, meaning you would have to press it everytime =/

@BeamerView 9 ай бұрын

You may have to renew the subscription on Connecteddrive.com. Remote services are only good for 4 years from the life of the vehicle so it may have to do with that. One of the biggest reasons why we bump into the issue is when a vehicle is older than 2021, there is a good chance that the battery is not powerful enough to proceed with the update. Battery life tends to go low after about 3 years. The only way to by pass this would be to go to the dealer and have them manually do the update. Keep in mind that there may be a labor cost associated with this.

@BeamerView 10 ай бұрын

Congrats on the X7. One of the biggest things about it would be remote engine start if your country allows it. If it does, this is done by pressing lock 3 times. The other features of the app just give details about the vehicle such as fuel level, how far you can travel, if all the doors are locked, etc. You can see service intervals but that you can just go into "vehicle status" and get the same info. You can also call roadside assistance from the SOS button above you without using the app as well. The biggest one is remote start. If you don't have that to begin with, you're not missing out on much.

Thanks for this. You showed iDrive 8.5 is a little better than iDrive 8. The next step for BMW is to bring back iDrive 7 with physical buttons that cut our button-pushing in half. BMW can rename it iDrive 9. In aviation there is a concept of minimizing cockpit workload. Having to push buttons just to get to other buttons, as BMW makes you do in iDrive 8 & 8.5, goes against that concept, makes a driver less safe, and is ridiculous. A triumph of form over substance.
