I'm running iDrive version 11/2020.50

I purchased it at 19:50. 10 minutes later I went to the car and checked the apps screen. It wasn't there initially. It appeared few seconds later.

probably needs yet another iDrive reset. Seems to be the default fix for most things. Very poor.

I have just ordered. I have a reasonable drive tomorrow around the M25 so hopefully I can try it.

Mine has now appeared in the apps section without updating or anything. I’ll drive it tomorrow and see if it works. If I drove now then speeding would be the least of my issues 🤪

I’d imagine once you’ve clicked the app and then accept the conditions it runs automatically

Do you need the latest update for this to work.. i purchased it yesterday but nothing in the car yet.

I have been waiting 2 weeks for the update to start.. it's downloaded but it won't kick in

[stanfonj]

Mine appears to be installed, yet failed to pick up the two cameras on my way home from work...

[willougs]

Still nothing for me. And also can't seem to be able to view my orders in ConnectedDrive website either at the moment.

Assume my year subscription starts from the time it's available in the car? No...? oh.

Just checked. Nothing, after ordering on 21/04.

Updated apps and services (x2) and it appeared within a minute.

The sub will run from the date you ordered it and not the date it appears in the car, but I suspect you could ask the CD team for an extension if it turns into a saga.

Purchased mine last night at around 5pm. Went out to the car at about 5:30pm, updated the apps section and it was all there.

Had a 30minute drive to football and then home and it picked up all the cameras and judged the distance to them almost perfectly.

Is it an amazing addition... probably not, but for £20 its worth having I think.

[danorman777]

Mine appeared pretty quickly without an update. Will try today.

[Dave330d]

Ordered and then updated the app last night and it was there.

Had a run to the office this morning and it picked up the two cameras along the way. I set it to show in the head up display so very good so far.

[cliveywolves]

Still nothing for me, showing online and in booked services in the car, maybe it’s software version depending? What version you all on who’s got it working? Thanks

[willougs]

Dont think it can be. Im on 11/2020.50, and its not appearing for me.
However hamera has it working on the same version.

How soon after it being available did you purchase? Seems to me the keen ones that jumped on it as soon as this thread started are the ones still waiting...?

Going to go out in a bit and will perform iDrive reboot if still not there. That seems to be the stock solution to most of the many many software bugs.

I purchase it on evening of 21st April ?

I’m running 11/2020.35, got Alexa working ok .

Might try an Idrive reboot before the drive home?

[willougs]

Seems to have done the job for me. Its now appeared in apps screen.

Cant see where you configure it to display in the HUD though. Unless it's already defaulted to HUD, as per existing Route Warnings option.

[xenon]

Mine appeared very quickly but on driving past a local camera- nowt.
Admittedly the camera is out of action so it’s not conclusive

Perhaps it only works with a route set?

Does it only work while navigating then ? Not just while map is on ?

That’s my question too; I don’t know I haven’t tried with a route set.

Surely that cant be the case. Would be even more useless if so, and you'd think that would have been mentioned within the details on ConnectedDrive.

Will, I bought it early like you. Did an I drive reboot fix it then? I have had my G21 coded, for a few extra bits... does anyone know if a reboot of i drive gets rid of this?

Seemed to yeah. Couldnt categorically say the iDrive rebooted, as whilst holding button down for well over 30 seconds, the screen just stayed blank. Let go and pressed button and it came on as normal (straight to home screen). So nothing obvious to suggest it did restart.

However the camera app was then in the Apps page.
