Surround View Questions
Can Surround View be used when driving? I mean, obviously, yes it can, but can you use it say, on a motorway? Or highway if you\'re American . Like PDC, is there a speed restriction on using it or could it be on permanently if you so wished?
Likewise, can the Reverse Assist Camera only be used whilst, like the name suggests, reversing? Or can that be switched on at any time/speed? Tah!

There's a specific button to turn on the rear camera in my 535i. I haven't tried pressing it while driving down the road. I'll try it tomorrow and see if it activates.

KABOOM! HPFP! I've only seen it very briefly in an F30 I sat in, but do you reckon the view is large enough to take on the roll of blind spot monitor or am I just being an idiot?

I already tested this in the F10, it did not work until you drop around 5km/h overhere. Very annoying because I was showing people how it worked that good; obviously there faces were like; "yeah, works like a charm".

Others found it very nice & cool to see, so it is really up to yourself. Test-drive a F10 and test it yourself. Last edited by Rdx; 01-29-2012 at 06:58 AM.. |
