Traffic Camera Alert in HUD
The traffic camera alerts for speed and red light camera no longer show up in my HUD display. Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried playing around with settings but cannot find where I can turn that off or on. Don't know why it stopped working, might have turned it off accidently ?

I've tried to reset ID7 and update connected apps. Nothing has worked to bring the notifications back. |

Sounds like it might have been a remote update. I don't live near any red light cameras so I never get these alerts.

bokmeipai ,
Ever since I subscribed to traffic camera feature, the icon that appears VERY INFREQUENTLY (more on that in a moment), this clunky white rectangle with a camera in the center -- not like I've seen pictures of on other cars. When I subscribed, my car was on software version 07/2019 and no matter what I did, icon only in Instrument Cluster. After car got updated to version 07/2020, same clunky icon shows up in HUD sometimes, but after icon shows up in HUD, it tends to reset the settings in iDrive DISPLAYS, HEADS UP, ROUTE WARNINGS from HEADS UP to INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. The weird things are that it doesn't do it consistently & sometimes the ROUTE WARNINGS item in HUD Display options changes to something else. The quality of the database used is terrible-- I have come upon red light cameras with blue lights glowing & nada is displayed!! Now, I read that BMW just bought the HERE database, BUT that maybe quite a while before we see it, plus I have yet to have this feature show anything other than Red light camera-- heck, Google Maps does a better job-- let alone Waze! If someone would ever ask if they should get this feature, I'd say it's a VERY long run for SUPER short slide!

Just wanted to note that on the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal it shows that my car came with a 3-month trial of "Traffic Camera Information."
The description on the website reads: "BMW Traffic Camera Information alerts you to fixed and mobile traffic enforcement cameras and radar. Available subscription periods may differ by model." and the photo that is shown: Then it looks like you can subscribe to 15 more months for $25.

I have the paid package for route warnings. It works well but no matter how many times I change it to show up on the HUD, the moment I turn off and turn on the car, it automatically moves back to the cluster. What can I do?
