No Drive Recorder in new 2023 M550i?
Hey community!
My wife got her car last week and I don’t see the drive recorder in installed app page. Wondering is that a paid option or it should be standard? It’s 11/2022 version software and has Driving Assistance Pro package. Also do you suggest installing a dashcam anyway? I’m not so handy but I managed to install one many years ago. Hiding wires was not easy for me. Thanks! |

it was included on my Feb 23 Uk M550 . I think its part of teh tehcnology plus pack here in the UK.
you might want to check what pack its included in to see if its supposed to be there. If not, there might be an option to install it from your connected drive login (at a small price no doubt!) |

As Carmody said, the drive recorder is not standard, it only comes with the optional $800 parking assistance pkg in the US.
This pkg includes: Parking assistance plus Drive recorder Surround view w/ 3D view Active park distance control

just out of curiosity, if you're interested, this is the UK configurator
so you can see the differences between different markets https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/all-models/...ighlights.html |

Thank you all. I didn’t even think too much and it now seems late for an upgrade. I don’t see it from www.bmwusa.com/MyBMWConnectedDrive
I guess I will need a dashcam. Will do the research using wisely this fabulous forum. |

It seems. My 2023 G30 produced in August 2022 has the parking assistance package and includes the drive recorder. My 2023 G82 produced in December 2022 has the parking assistance package and does not include the drive recorder. My previous (2021) G82 had both. I too was going to add a dash camera (I've got two sitting around) and started trying to find a power source and got frustrated because BMW went to some new non-standard fuse size, so my tap wouldn't work. The next day, I discovered that I can add the drive recorder via a subscription, $100 (I think) for 3 years (I think) which is historically longer than I keep a car, so I did that. It works fine and there's no stuff handing off of my windshield. As for the reduced video quality, most dash cams (I've found) aren't all that good either, especially if you want to do something like read license plates.

I ended up with only the front camera. I think the rear one might need too long wire. Also the instructions were not super clear.
So far wife loves the car. |
