is it possible to upgrade/update the 2005 touchscreen system to indicate fixed camera positions?

otherwise have to keep using the Snooper

thanks in anticipation

bear with me please Dan as i only got the car on wednesday so still very much learning!

and the seller said it did not show speed camera locations?

so my 2005 car has the MK4 nav?

sorry to be thick

Ah - my bad - I read that as upgrade TO the 2005 touch screen.

Oops, i'll shut up now - sorry.

On the 2002-2005 the cameras are POI's I imagine you can do the same on the newer map DVD - it may just be that no one's done it yet?

No you touchscreen nav is completely different to the mk3/4 nav that dan is talking about. The mk4 nav is the BMW derived nab computer that was in the non touchscreen FFRR. I am not aware of any mod to show safety cameras on the touchscreen nav, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a solution. 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

thanks guys

so stick with the Snooper - just got to find a discrete mounting position as i detest screen 'mounts'

have heard that some types of glass block the sat signal? - any ideas?

thanks again for all your help/advice - much appreciated

nick ,try mounting it by the rear view mirror with it poking out to the front..i got a inforad which gets its speed cameras by gps, only £30 with lifetime subs..ok it wont pick up brand new cameras but its still pretty good... ... - .- -.

Scarey,

Have you investigated the DVD in a PC to see if the files are readable? If so then in theory you could write a new disc with new/modded data.

If you get a trackstar tracker, they can add "safespeed". Essentially the car beeps at you if you're near a fixed camera.

You can also get camera sites on an iPhone.

With that sort of blatent brand advertising you could work for the BBC!

You can also get them on every other phone - specifically Nokia that comes with free GPS SW with speed camera and overspeed warnings...
