Hi Steve I tried everything and I'm sure my 2017 BMW240I X-Drive does not have the digital speedo or auto unlock, I even went so far as to ask the dealership and this model does not have the auto unlock for some reason. Yes it is in the manual and yes most models have it but the M240I X-Drive in Canada at least does not, the option is just not there when you scroll through the door lock menu. My gauge cluster only has the smallish screen near the bottom and when I scroll through the "BC" menu the current speed is not an option. |

As a Canadian with a 2017 240 xDrive I expect we have the same configurations.
I just turn off auto-lock in the driver settings. Car doesn't lock the doors as I drive off, no need to unlock. No way to get the car to turn completely off on a single press from the iDrive. It simply times out if you walk away and don't lock the car, and of course you've discovered it turns off when you do lock the car. AFAIK there is no digital speedo option for the centre gauge cluster. You can put up the sports display on the 8" screen - that's the rendering of horsepower and torque "analog" gauges.

Yes definitely updated, probably because people like me wanted a digital speedo! Either way I'll code it in when I get my Kiwi 3.

Same here with my USB drive, doesn't have the shuffle or even playlist option. I'm currently using an iPod which I leave connected all the time and that does give me the shuffle & playlist options. My 2019 doesn't even come with a CD player.

Not entirely true. My 2015 M235i has the panic and audible chirp. I think the alarm was an option.

I hate, despise, loathe the back-up camera on my 240i and find it distracting at best and destructive at worse. Having driven several million miles in my life, largely without issue, to find even simple parking with no cars near me has been a nightmare. Am I the only one?

And I will make the painful confession that I have had multiple curb rash episodes on the rear right wheel, something that's never happened to me prior through two previous BMW's. Would there be a benefit to simply disconnecting the camera? |

The camera itself is pretty crappy. It doesn't work very well at night compared to the one in our RAV4, and the RAV handles patches of shade in bright sunlight a lot better too.

If you find the lines distracting, you can turn them off in iDrive. You can also adjust camera brightness. These options are available when the camera image is displayed.

Yeah, but that orange-amber color at night!! I'd give up a bigger digital speedometer display for that color in the dark.

If you don't like the feature, don't look at the screen!
Honestly, though, it does take a little time to get used to the red and green lines. You have to steer the car so that the green lines are where you want them to be with respect to the kerb/curb. Once you get the hang of that, all your rashes will be gone! |
