I saw a release from BMW saying this feature is available for cars with "Live Cockpit Professional (Option Code 6U3) with vehicle software version 20-07 or newer." In simple terms, will this work with the pre-LCI idrive 7 lite?

I don't know the answer to your question but we have the exact opposite request. I cannot stand this piece of shit app and wish I could fkn turn it off. It's pure trash.

I almost choked on my happy hour drink reading the post you linked to.

Have you tried the connected drive website to see if a delete/disable option exists? Or call BMW Genius line to ask them for help. There must be a way to at least silence that app.

Hah here in Boston it’s already saved my rims multiple times.

Read this to disable the app. BMW claims you can disable it.

Yes, this app is free and supported on MY2020 cars.

What exactly does this app do?

Display warnings in your HUD about uneven surfaces ahead.. you know.. like speed bumps/humps. There's two of these in my neighborhood so I get this obnoxious warning and countdown (500ft/400ft/300ft) till you are at it. It's never told me about a pot hole or anything useful. Also doesn't tell me about most speed bumps.. just the two I drive on 10 times a day. As you might be able to tell, I think this app blows ass. If it had some like super up to date info on like newly developed potholes or craters in the ground.. that'd be cool.. but I don't think I've ever needed the car to warn me about a speed bump.

Sounds annoying.

If it use talemetry from other BMWs to warn of bad road conditions and pot holes etc now that would be brilliant.

Thanks I'll try that. I don't think I'd mind as much if it didn't take over my heads up display. Will give it a go to try and display it somewhere else or see if I can disable the route warnings in both if still annoying.

Ok here's an update. I don't see any way to permanently disable this piece of shit app. The link you said worked.. at first. But same problem I have with when I disable the app. It reverts to previous settings next time I start the car.

I was able to tell it to show route warnings in instrument panel .. but this setting was overridden at next start. What a piece of shit. Maybe I am the only one that hates this app with a passion but the car literally shouldn't function this way regardless. Maybe I need Car & Driver to do an article on this so BMW can fix it.
