Idrive 5.0 parking

stvding · 10-08-2016, 09:24 AM

Hi! The new 7 has its real 360 birdeye view and regular backup cam display at the same time, split view when parking like most other car makers do today(Audi, Mbenz, most American cars).
I know 3/4 does not have a front cam in the front bumper so no front view or front part in birdeye view(more like a 270 instead of 360 view, lame....). Idrive 4.2 on my16 model only shows one view at a time. Aka, birdeye view xor backup cam. Not possible to show both on the same screen. Does idrive 5.0 on 3/4 fix that?

I'm fairly sure the 7 series has a next gen Camera module. This module is critical to what images are available to display in iDrive.

Hmm...I haven't tried to see if I can view both on mines. I'll check it out later tonight.
