Q1: Used to have E60 SE with BusNav (UK) and TMC enabled....whenever I had nav guidance active and there was a traffic incident i would see a msg on i-drive stating that it was re-calculating (or had available...cannot remember which) an alternative route.
Since picking up my March05 M-Sport fitted with NavPro, I have "dynamic route" and TMC active but can honestly say i've never seen any msgs stating that the route was being changed due to possible traffic problems on route, even when the little TMC triangle in the bottom left (for those with perspective view) change to a red border indicating a problem on your chosen route.
just wondered anyone else noticed dynamic routing working with pronav? maybe it is and i'm just not seeing msgs telling me route has been changed or by some fluke whenever i've been going anywhere with guidance "on" there has been no viable alternative for it to choose.
Q2: in the i-drive > Info > vehicle settings, there is a menu for door locks and one of the options to "tick" on or off is "lock if no door opened" or something like that....now I could RTFM but what is that option for? does it just lock the doors again if you open them but then do not open a door within a given timeout period?

Q1: sorry, can't help you on that one.
Q2: Yes, if the car is unlocked from the outside and a door isn't opened in a specific time, the car will re-lock itself. I'm not sure if anyone is using that feature but all I can say is that one time I found my car locked with the keys in it so I unchecked that box and never had a problem again. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe the feature had a bug that's been fixed? I don't quite think I need the car to automatically lock itself so I don't feel I'm missing anything but if anyone has experience with this feature, I'd love to hear it.

thx for the replies guys.
i kind of figured the locking feature was a bit of a double edged sword. on the one hand you've got the security aspect knowing that if you leave the car open it will at least lock on its own but on the flip side if you forget your keys are in it and walkaway (assuming noone nicks it in the meantime) at least you'll still be able to get back in.
currently i have the feature disabled.....just wanted to canvas opinions on it.

Cheers.

The car won't just lock itself because you left it open, you have to unlock it first...

I thought the dynamic route option on either bus or pro nav simply routed you via A roads with bends for fun, fun, and more fun.
Am I right?

i too have pro nav and like the 1st post i get no information as to traffic delay. neither do i get any messages or signs on the map to show that there is traffic ahead.
is this what should happen or is my nav not working
