I have ordered my X7 xDrive40i with DHP
I have read as many posts on DHP as I could find
I remain confused about implementation of all of the hardware and capabilities of DHP
Specifically, Is DHP always ON ?
Some posts have stated that DHP only is active if in Navigation mode....
If this IS the case, then, do I have to enter a destination into Navigation EVERY TIME I get in and drive?? What if I merely hit the Map/NAV screen without entering a specific destination...would this activate DHP?
Then, if this is indeed the case (that DHP requires a Navigation destination input), is the package doing anything for me (compared to the standard NON DHP X7's) when not "on" ?
I only use the Vehicle's NAV only about 5% of the time, and I really hope I do not have to set a destination for EVERY ride!
I am pretty sure that OTHER competitors do not require NAV destination input for their systems to be operational (Mercedes Benz GLS and Lincoln Aviator are two examples)

DHP is always on, even adaptive once you hit the Adaptive button. It does not require a navigation destination to be turned on. I spoke to personnel in Munich on this directly. XDrive50i gets same exact DHP as M Dport other than newer engine and exhaust.
Whether you want it or not is a separate question. I note that it turns any xDrive 50i into a beast. The only difference between the luxury v8 and M Dport v8 is the engine and exgaust ( there are differences in looks if you prefer the more shadowy look of the M Sport).
