High beam assistant/Carly

Is this something you can do with Carly, or another diagnostic plug in?

I would think it would be unlikely. Your car is constantly in touch with BMW, sending and receiving codes so I would be very surprised if a 'non-purchase' item would not be detected.

Wonder how these guys get round it.

So do I. Let me know if you find out?

I wonder if it’s as discussed that they can get it “switched on” but any future updates/communications by the car with BMW would remove/overwrite it??

Takes some getting used to tbh, it’s a fight not to turn it off when you’re behind another car with full beam still on, not natural at all. The light zones switching around are cool to watch however. Well worth having imho.

Agree here, I have Laser lights and the 'dancing' light zones are good to see. The important thing though, is that it lights up more of the road, when meeting oncoming vehicles or when you are following others.

Same here. First Editions have it as standard and took a little while to get used to it. Had a long trip back from Scotland in the dark and the Adaptive Lights in Auto mode gave an amazing amount of light forwards and to the side. Fascinating how the beam moves and switches as you approach and pass other cars. Obviously works well though as didn’t get flashed once for dazzling other drivers.

That's interesting. I wouldn't mind speed camera locations but haven't seen where it's on offer as it isn't on my "Connected Drive" page

This is not available for the Z4 yet, that's why it doesn't show on your 'Connected Drive' page. IRD was talking about his 330e.

My wife had speed camera on her X3. We tried it on a road trip in Colorado. I think it flagged once and even then we didn’t see anything. Didn’t seem to be worth it.

You buy it through the BMW app at the BMW shop. I have just bought it for my new 330e Touring. Although I have to admit I haven’t tried it yet. So I hope it’s there. I also bought speed camera locations at £20 a year. That appears to be working fine. Mind you it galls me that I have to pay extra for these features on a car costing £46000.

Before I sold my car I didn’t have the option of the speed camera locators.
Is it any good? Does it come up on HUD or do you gave to have maps on the screen?

Initially it appears on the screen in front of the driver and you have to set it to appear in the HUD. It counts down to the cameras and works every time for me identifying every camera. I spent a week in Edinburgh and it spotted all cameras there and on the Motorways. It's great, well worth £20 per year. When you pay for it an app is downloaded.

Shame it’s not available on g29
