2023.12...

The issue isn’t technical- it’s bureaucratic.

In same way as you can report a pothole to one agency and they tell you it’s not their responsibility so tell you to report it to another who then tell you it’s not their responsibility and refer you back to the former.

The complexity of Teflon shoulders normally prevails.

I’ve dealt with several trying to get as built junction plans and it’s not a trivial matter and I was working on a project for one of them. You kind of think they would have their own interests at heart, but didn’t. In the end we sent our own team to do the job and photocopy hundreds of junction layouts - soft copies were not allowed to leave the location so we had to model our own layouts from scratch.

It came with 2023.20.4.1

I have 2023.20.4.2 but don't have the option to view all the cameras - do I have to enable anything in the car??

 

[Dilly]

It’s in the service menu

Service menu in the car?

Service menu in the car?

Google it or watch the youtube videos - it is too long to explain! Don’t fiddle when anything in there once you are in - it is not normally needed by owners/users

Ah that service menu! Will leave it well alone!!

It's not in the hidden service menu that requires a password.

To view the 9 cameras on 2023.40 go to controls > service > camera preview.

You should see the 9 cameras listed at the top, you may need to scroll the list to the right to view the 9th.

It’s right next to other scary options such as windscreen wiper service mode and car wash mode!

 

[finnster]

Lol!! I was assuming it was the hidden service menu, to calibrate the steering etc, I think I can just about cope with the main service menu……hold my beer……

So was I!!

Anyway, this discussion is in the wrong thread as it is a 2023.20 item

I was trying to find the best thread to post this but as this seemed to contain chat about dry wiping I thought I’d pick this one. I’m not blaming the software for this tho….

I have all but never seen dry wiping on either of the M3s I’ve had - nor the one I had as courtesy car for a week.

When I filled the car wash yesterday morning I added Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash like usual but didn’t dilute it as much as I normally do (just being lazy) and I’ve had more dry wiping of the screen in the last 24 hours than the previous 2 years. It’s only happened subsequent to proactively using the wipers to clear the screen.

I’m going to add more water now but MAYBE this could be a factor in why cars with the same hardware and software are behaving very differently .

Elon is claiming that Auto Wiper v4 will roll out in 3 weeks and will make everything great.

He claimed that 3 weeks ago

I have a range of bridges for sale at never-to-be-repeated prices.

 

[Roy B]

I have no opinion. But sounds like v4 is coming - at some point. It will probably behave differently from v3. Whether it will be clearly better

I'm sure the changes will cause lots of discussion though, if/when they hit

Is your car kept in a garage and cleaned regularly ?

The dry wiping is down to marks on the glass, either dirt or other residue, when it happens I stop and clean that glass properly and it stops every time. There could be something about the effectiveness of screenwash at cleaning the windscreen, I know mine certainly doesn't seem very effective and leaves streaks.

Do you do this on busy motorways?

Not always. I can clean the glass meticulously by hand but within seconds of starting a journey low sun is likely to set the wipers thrashing dementedly. They are just crap.

 

[GRiLLA]

Yes, I pull off at the numerous exits and find somewhere safe and legal to stop, of course.

It has only happened a few times, just after leaving home and getting onto the M40 so I know my local area perfectly well.

Your experience is not he same as mine then, for me dry wipe always means not clean.
