Ratings and reviews

This came with the car from dealer directly. However it is really the worst piece of software I have used. I had to sit inside the car to view the videos when then wifi connection was never stable. There is also non continuous recording, if i want to manually record something it only starts 10 seconds prior to i press the button. Then what is the purpose of having this thing on at all??? Video viewing is extremely slow under the self wifi environment. Pain. Total rubbish App! Avoid at all cost!

Works and ok now. Had a few teething problems with camera not connecting. Found the solution. Before you start the app, set airplane mode on your mobile phone. Then switch on wireless only, then start the app. For me, that works every time. you need either the engine running or press the start button in your BMW 3 times in quick succession. Downloaded videos to my phone ok. If the camera is triggered when I'm not in the car, the camera beeps the next time to you start the engine.

This app is over convoluted, isn't as clear as it should be when using it to modify the settings of your camera and, it doesn't contain the manual or link to it. This app seems rushed to tick a "look, you can use your phone with our camera" box without giving you the functionality you would expect. And this is BMW. Why is it so hard to find the files you've saved from the camera to your phone? The app doesn't allow you to export the files and they don't show up as media on my handset.
