If anyone has downloaded dvdinmotion, how big is the ISO? Anyone tried to reverse engineer the compiled code?

If someone is interested in a group buy, let me know.

See the following link for details on pricing:
http://www.dvdinmotion.com/order

I should get my car in September and would order around that timeframe (or as soon as my VIN number is confirmed).

To me watching a film whilst driving would be pretty low down my list - safer to give kids an iPad. But clearly there are some hacks out there and the idea of a group buy appears. My wish list would include:
1. auto folding mirrors on locking car;
2.*camera images displayed all speeds;
3. ability to see engine management diagnostics;
4. visual of traction levels per wheel.

Any more wishes? Then we just need a fairy car software specialist.

Maybe the administrator should start a new category in the forum called "hacks."

I'm still waiting for a reply from prochip. Maybe someone at BMW UK tipped them off about me - bastards!

iDrive uses Microsoft Windows CE doesn't it? I must be able to get in there!

I'm also looking for some hacks. This is what I want.

- Dvd while driving
- All cameras working while driving
- Auto folding mirrors
- Something to turn off the Disclaimer when starting the Navi

Had another play with topview and it is superb. Kerbed wheels and concern about parking bays consigned to history.

There is a precise telemetry computer somewhere programmed in the car that can be accessed at your service center. When I say precise, I mean precise; like down to the second of the hour that you were going X mph, braking patterns, average speed, etc.

If a hack could access this and write code for the iDrive to display it under Vehicle Info, you would be able to see that kind of information.

Many thanks but Xbuyer answered two weeks ago. Is that why your handle is Duplicated?

Yes, Yes, it is.
Actually no, it's because I'm an identical twin. Maybe he wrote that?!

My hack wish list

I have 2011 BMW X3 F25 with all options added (except Apple Apps).

1) Want to stop the engine, close windows and sunroof, and fold up mirrors when I long-depress the lock button on the key fob
2) Want to eliminate or reduce the time that the warning about improper shifting shows on the nav screen after attempting to put the car in gear without depressing the brake and side button on the shift stalk
3) Want to project RPMs on the HUD
4) Want to assign the "ventilate while parked" feature to one of the eight function buttons and have it crack the sunroof open too
5) Want to assign the "ventilate at a pre-specified time" to one of the eight function buttons and have it crack the sunroof open too
6) Want be able to fold up the side view mirrors regardless of vehicle speed
7) Want to remotely start the vehicle from the key fob
8) Want to eliminate the "accept" screen at starting the nav function
9) Want to eliminate the top speed restriction
10) Want to enable rear view camera to come on or stay on the nav screen while vehicle is traveling in forward direction regardless of speed and distance
11) Want to be able to view DVD while in motion
12) Want vehicle to remain in "sport" mode after ignition is shut off and vehicle is restarted
13) Want to install Apple Apps now
14) Want to customize (or even turn off) the efficient dynamics software. Should only activate when I depress brake and above a certain initial speed.
15) Want to set the duration of the seat belt reminder chime to something shorter
16) Want towing hitch receiver, wiring harness including electric brakes, and addl transmission oil cooler
17) Want option to make car lock itself and shut down if I walk way with key fob (as long as car was already in "park" gear."
18) Want automatic (will settle for manual) sun screen for rear window (like the manual side screens)
19) Want mirrors to fold up when I push key fob once to lock the car

Did you do the group buy yet?

I want most of those, and:
- completely eliminate the seat belt chime.
- add other information on the HUD
- ability to have my own radio station nicknames on the pre-sets list, and to be able to store more than 40 stations
- configure the amount of time that the radio stays on after I turn off the engine

Anyone know how much the dealer fit is for this if it wasn't built at factory, I see it is available but no cost listed on their site.
