F10-65

Finally managed to get my BMW Advanced Eye 2.0 working again My first one went pop after 3 years, looks like a common issue, image goes all dark with lines across. Anyway, found a replacement on eBay used. Received it in the post, slid it into my existing screen mounted shoe still stuck to the screen with the existing wiring but it still has the previous owners setup in it so need to factory reset. Searched everywhere, no clear instructions anywhere. Figured it out in the end myself. Update the firmware and the wifi settings will reset. Turn the unit off Remove SD card (32GB) Format in your laptop as Fat32 Download the firmware file straight to the root of the newly formatted SD card. Here Power on the unit without the SD until she asks for it! Insert SD and wait a moment, unit will reboot itself Green and red LEDs will flash for up to 7 minutes. Do not touch, be patient. Power down will turn it into junk When the lights stop, give it a minute Connect using the default wifi app on your phone to the BMWACE2.0 wifi and 1234567890 as the key Open the Ace app It will prompt you to change the defaults here, I just add a zero to the end of the current key Then you can get into the Ace app and perform a factory reset at the bottom of the configure page Job done http://www.advancedcareye.com/FW/ Lots of people slate the BMW one but all dash cams are fundamentally flawed by a simple wet windscreen so say what you will. Cheers Ladies Hope this helps someone Daren

Ah. You're not a nube then

We go a few times a year and I just got back this morning from Italy by crossing through Germany. Not sure where you are going but make sure you are full up before getting into Germany, Luxembourg if you can, filling stations are few and far between on the Autostrada in Germany. If you need juice you'll need to leave the motorways. At Calais set your options to avoid tolls. I guess thats an option in Waze but I'd still recommend Google Maps over Waze. Google bought Waze and adopted all the functionality into Maps. If possible in Deuchland travel at weekends as there are no lorries on the roads and overnight if you can to avoid the nasty M25 like traffic in Germany Watch when the speed indicator disappears from your sat nav to indicate no speed limit or look out for the UK National speed limit like signs which mean the same thing. And finally, people are extremely disciplined as far as speed limits are concerned. Everybody is at 50/60/80 before they hit the signs. Not sure what the threat is if you disobey. Cheers Daren

The integrated Sat Nav works OK but I'd highly recommend switching to Google Maps instead. Especially in Europe if thats your destination.

Contact their support however and check if there is a firmware update to do. My RoadTop had some issues but the update solved them.

Looks good though. Is it touch screen? Is the jumping out because the phone is still connected to the BMW system too?

Nice in the Austrian Alps today… But we just rolled into Italia…

And… We’re off

Washed twice and dried this evening after work ready for our trip down to Naples and Vesuvius. 1500 miles there Finish work tomorrow at 4, home to collect the missus and pest junior Catch the Eurotunnel at 18:16 Head for Luxembourg then Ulm to avoid the tolls Enable tolls on the sat nav and head down through Austria to Padova Pick up Nonna and Nonno to spend 4or 5 at the beach in Carole Drive down to cousins place in Rome for 3 nights Then further down to visit Vesuvius and Herculanium for 2 days Back to Padova till the Saturday Catch the tunnel again back to Blighty on Sunday morning Cant wait Back to work Monday

That looks like the same soap as last week Andrew 🙂

Agree 100%

Nice to know the F10 came through unscathed.

Mine did 580 mile round trip from Maidstone in Kent up to Burnley. 59.2 MPG

Have you got a red and yellow wire for power coming from the camera? Get some piggy back fuses. I think the yellow is switched live and red is perm Thats all i needed

Replace it with paper!
