Fixed-Radar & Traffic-Light-Camera Database thorugh M5's Navigation System

Is anyone aware of a solution in the market to upload a Cheetah like database directly into the M5's navigation system? I know it would be without alarms, but this is still very helpful to have rather than a unit sticking out into the windshield. Thanks.

I once heard about traffic cameras showing up on the idrive navigation. Heard it once back when I owned E60 and again a few days ago with the F10.

One solution is to get the Belltronics STiR+ Radar Detector. You can hide the display in the mirror and the controller in the ash tray or on the seat by your right leg.

The STiR+ has a red light camera database and I believe speed camera as well (I live in US so we don't really have speed cameras).

Worth checking out..

Escort Max does this. I keep mine high up and on passenger side by rearview mirror. Doesn't bother me at all.
