Drive recording

Paultattoo · 12-30-2019, 12:03 AM

I love my dash camera. I use the Owl Camera. Saves a weeks worth of video. Voice command clips right to my phone.

The new BMW X7 comes with a drive recorder. It only records 40 seconds? You'd think with memory so cheap that getting a weeks worth would be easy.

Has anyone found this feature useful? How good does it work. Is it something I should just ignore and keep using my dash camera instead?

I think, It's just for accidents. Just enough evidence to get one out of trouble with cops and insurance.

I do not have the app anywhere in the iDrive but apparently it should work like this:
