Oh Henry that is a camera for you to record the video ahead of you. No just joking, If I am not wrong that should be for the High-beam Assistant.

Ok, can someone tell me how the high beam assistant works because I can't seem to get mine working! I have ticked the box on the idrive, followed the instructions in the manual but nothing seems to happen. Am I missing something obvious?
Also, I ticked the box for the welcome light so anticipating the low beam to light up after the ignition is switched off, but again nothing - although the led's on the door handles do light up. Suggestions please... |

"How do they come up with some of these gadgets?"

Is the driver too busy texting/figuring out idrive to change high to low beams? Does that sensor, the housing & wiring, weigh less then the switch in the column stalk? I hope so. The x6 is no light weight ! Does it make sense to switch to runflats, supposedly to reduce weight, then add back onto the curb weight stuff like self-closing door servo motors? Seems to me if someone can close the door to within reach of the latch to close itself, they could easily pick up the car & slam it to the door! If the airbags do not deploy, & the front windshield shatters b/c of road debris, that mirror & sensor housing is one heck of a projectile! So do we need a glass break sensor now.? Can we ever completely idiot proof a vehicle if it's driven by morons? Sorry, I'm beginning to sound like the guy on 60 minutes! Last edited by archwerks; 07-01-2010 at 09:10 PM.. |

Hi Henry, actually I am looking for such device so that I can record while driving. Nowadays many nasty drivers especially during the morning rush hours.

There is in the market. I use Go Pro (HD Cam) which I had already fitted in my car. The othe type is for accident recording. In the event of a sudden brake the cam start recording.

Does the Go Pro also record when the park is parked? How much is it? Did you fit it yourself or you need someone to install it?
