How to activate speed cams on I drive? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

335tim · 04-20-2012, 04:26 AM

I just got a new sat nav disc for my professional I drive. The disc says it has speed cams on it. Any idea how I activate it to display them on the map?

They will probably be listed as 'Points of Interest' so have a look in the POI menu

As IanS100. Will show as a POI icon. they won't inform you with any kind of sound gong/bong though.

try the following on your I drive:
-enter Navigation
-enter info
-enter car
-enter uk cameras section
-set max destination to 200 miles

Not trying to hijack this thread. My 55 plate has I drive. Is it possible to upgrade it to latest maps etc using one of these discs?

gman77 · 04-20-2012, 08:32 AM

Yeah you can upgrade. You can get it from a BMW dealer for around £150 odd. Or u can erm get it a lot cheaper elsewhere.....

Fair enough, but you've had you car since feb and you don't know where points of interest are on your Nav. That sort of thing should have been bedtime reading from day one.

If you want to send me your email address I'll forward a PDF of the manual.

I am terrible for this creepy. When I picked up the m3 I got the dealer to set up my phone and the M button and I was off and that's it lol.

Are they official BMW DVDs or are you paying 30 quid for a verbatim writable DVD clone?

Those will be copies.

BMW dont supply nav dvds with camera points of interest, they have been modified.

Yes, copies but very good ones. Rather pay £30 than £150 all day long. Does the same job as the BMW one and more! Also, i prefer not to give dealers money wherever possible.

Soootylad · 04-22-2012, 03:20 AM

Any difference between those ones and the ones listed here for 5 quid cheaper?

Maybe it's the fact that some of them might not update the firmware too? The ones on satnavi do... Can anyone vouch for any of these?

ss134 · 04-25-2012, 05:33 PM

Just be aware if youre travelling in Europe that France have made it illegal since Jan 1st this year to put camera locations on your nav - they are stopping people and issuing 1500 euro fines and removing the device with the locations on.

Really?

Well I'd be pretty annoyed if they tried to even take my £30 copied disk but if they had a crack at taking out my Professional Sat Nav, then policeman or not, i'd punch him square in the neck.
