Back to Nuvi 310/360 on E60 (so we are strictly not OTing )...

After loading the beta version of the firmware 2.52 (20th July release from Garmin) and the new Custom POI for Streetname search...

I started encountering these 2 errors:

1) The stationary traffic camera alerts (tried it at CTE@Braddell, PIE@BKE and BKE@KJE)... it consistently froze with that last screen with the red banner text showing the Speed Camera alert. Had to turn off/on to resolve.

2) The settings (eventhough I do it manual updating, i.e. change the settings to alert at 1200m) only alert me when I am just passed the camera... it. 50m passed. Not before.

Any ideas?

DrLoke had done up his new Jaguar X-type with a Pioneer touch screen (hidden multiDVD) single DIN ICE which is nicely integrated and doesn't look aftermarket at all. Maybe he can show us some pictures to drool over..

one of my widlest dream is to install a "pop" up screen just infront of the idrive screen. when it is not in used, it will slight down and hidden down below. when u need it, it will moves up and block the idrive screen....cool huh?

It has been done... but need to sacrifice the 2 center aircon vents... It was also done for the SLK... where they converted the twin cup holders just above the stock LCD... but again.. the the center aircon vents would be "blocked" when this hidden LCD opens up... let me search for the forum threads...

no, no no...this is not what i meant.
what i try is to have the whole LCD hidden and sink below the platform just outside the idrive screen. cut a slot of 1cm by 13cm just nice for the lcd.
when the lcd slide up 90 deg, it will only block the idrive screen totally. when it is hidden, you will see nothing...
