Not sure why. I guess they have a bigger invoice to show if you buy it through them at order time ? But I suppose if you get it as part of the build, the assumption is it will be working when you pick up your car, as opposed if you buy it later and it doesn't work for some reason, you have to take it in for a check. |

True. I didn't seek clarification at the time, but I was told it works out the same on cost. So unless that's a lie (possible!) they might charge different amounts as a build option vs adding through the Connected app store.

I foolishly spec'd it for my M340i during the build phase and paid LCT and Stamp Duty on it. No one knew and this was before it was available on the ConnectedDrive store so I feel slightly less bad |

I just looked at the App Store, it says $429 for unlimited. Any idea how much it cost you as part of the main purchase? |

So cost will be $300 inc GST (for Fuel Efficient <= $75,526), else $390 inc GST+LCT (+ stamp duty where applicable). |

I’d be interested to hear if anyone has had the unfortunate experience of it recording because of an incident, to see if it works as advertised. |

Has anyone had trouble activating drive recorder after purchasing from the portal?
It hasn't appeared in the Apps List, and when a manual update/refresh is requested (via option button) it fails to do anything....grumble. |

Now that it's working....memory fills up fast!
That 20G hard drive- surely is not just for music ?? I've had about 10 x30 sec drives recorded and said memory already full. Anyone else come across this or a workaround (apart from constantly exporting to USB) |

Did you try an export one of the files and determine the size on a PC? Are the 30s files around 2GB?!! |

On my ‘drive recorder’ widget in iDrive is shows as 3/10 recordings. So maybe 10 is a coded max?

Max 10 recordings before you have to delete some.

It's easy to configure and you can set it to automatic to start anything up to 20 secs before a prang and 20 seconds after. Hopefully never needed. Or you can activate it manually by a long press on the camera button by the gear shift. I've tried it a couple of times and it works fine. I resisted the urge to order it until my in car software was stable; it was upgraded to 03/2020/44 last week and everything works really well now. oh, and after I bought it, my Phone Drivers Guide App was updated to include instructions on how to use Drive Recorder. I'm a bit surprised that that happened! |
