Sat Nav Speed Camera Warning
- Thread starter Eddo
- Start date
Audible warnings aren't supported if you run the original firmware and nav dvd.
Probably the previous owner loaded a custom firmware version (http://www.bimmernav.net/custom.html or http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3693) which adds an option to enable an audible warning when a POI is near. In addition to this you'd also need to use a customized nav dvd, that contains the camera locations.

im guessing they stopped because it now has the OEM disk in, has the dealer noticed & changed it recently ?
i have audible alerts & speed cameras on mine, they are activated by default and you can only turn them off by changing the language.
works pretty well altho it's not perfect, but it 100% isn't original.
only thing that would worry me is that if the firmware has been modded to give the alerts and you're running it without the correct dvd, that might make it buggy.
what screen comes up when the screen opens? original should give you the ==o== BMW logo, most of the modded ones use an /M logo although you can have anything you want.

The audible warning was just beeping, no voice, beeped louder as you approached if going above the correct speed.
I'm sure the disc hasn't been changed as this has happened recently whilst the car was sitting on the drive. Didn't coincide with any visits to the dealer. Besides, the disc looks pretty genuine...
Firmware version is: SW 4-1/71
And no, no sign of "Speed Cameras" in the POI.

Don't pay for it though - the instructions to make are pretty easy.
I've had it in mine since the week it was released, & have helped several other members too. I flicked back to the day mode because I'm not sure I like it that much, but the Speed Cam warning is useful, even tho I already have a Pogo Alert.
BTW alexhall - I think you've missed a few posts, really doesn't sound like this is what the OP has.
