recoding to allow current speed limits to be shown in HUD
having rented a M4 in Munich and having the current speed limit shown on the HUD - it was very handy. spoke to BMW Aust and they said there was an issue with reading the speed limit signs on the back of trucks/buses etc. BMW said it was "special" camera, but I wonder if it is just turning it on via recoding.

its an enabling (activation) code, its made specific for your car via your vin.
basically its a way for BMW to ensure you cant just "turn it on" via coding have a google, plenty of info on this on this forum. see this thread http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1063429 |

Do you mean showing the speed limit in the hud like the posted speed limit? My hud does this so it's just a matter of having drivers assistance Plus. Not sure if you can code it though sorry. You do need the hardware even if you could.

Unfortunately in Aus, we don't have the speed limit HUD enabled in our cars, regardless of what option/feature you have in your car, hence why he is asking if it's possible to code in. |

Do you have the speed limit anywhere? It's frustrating when a manufacturer can't provide universal experience to all their customers either because of local regulations or liability laws. Sorry to here its not available as an option. As far as I know, if the hardware is present, it's just a matter of discovering what setting to code. You may want to research it on the coding threads here or engage with someone familiar with coding. Some items are trial and error discovery and this may be one of those. I did find this -- hope it helps: http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1132862 Last edited by OutlawX3M; 08-04-2016 at 07:18 AM.. |

The latter part of this thread is about if it's possible to activate this feature in the older cars but to this point it seems it can't be done. |
