Not happy, and thinking about what to do. I asked my dealer in Canberra about this and have been told the car has all the necessary hardware, and a retrofit is available (via software) which I can have done for the not insignificant sum of $AUD1,000. I think BMW just don't want to update older cars to enable it. Why block it, if the car can't do it? It is the same variant of the car as sold in Europe where the SLI is enabled. which I have since found out is a code that BLOCKS the use of speed limit info in Australia. I know that my car has the code "8TD - Decoding Speed Limit Info". and got an email back from them saying not to bother, but to get an FSC code from them that can be coded into the car (by experts! Don't try at home!) because it had all the needed hardware, just needed the right software codes.īut the dealer refuses point blank. I tried to order one of those hardware devices that can display the SLI from map data. When I asked about the one we test drove, and the conversation we had when it did display the information, he told me I was wrong, it didn't, and we didn't discuss it.
So I went back to the dealer and asked about it, and he said the cars built earlier than October 2016 could not display SLI, hardware differences. My X1 with a build date of July 2016, didn't display the info. I had a conversation with the dealer about it as he sat in the passenger seat. I test drove an X1 with a build date of May 2106 that was displaying the speed limit info.
