yes as @Oxid8ter says, you set parameters in the App - the minimum speed you want it to activate at and the amount of seconds after the indicator cancels (I have mine at 3 sec.) Then whilst driving with Autopilot engaged you indicate to change lanes, this cancels the AP (tesla function - which doesnt always work) then you change lanes and cancel the indicator (or have it set to autocancel) then after the 3 seconds AP re engages

Yessuz, I checked this out today and it does Bing-bong on resume just the same as if you'd done it manually
Road Speed limit or current, not resume to previous set. Given how inaccurate the Road limit can be as it picks up street signs from neighbouring roads this is useless. If i've had it set at 50, and then had to brake I want to resume back to 50, as every other vehicle can. I don't want to manually accelerate to 50 and then reset it. Equally I may well not have my cruise set at the max speed of the road (eg. in Germany, or the numerous times it tells me the speedlimit is 70 when i'm actually in roadworks and it should be 50)
The manufacturer is releasing a newer version of the commander which is in short supply and only just beginning to ship. As mentioned by @Tony Hoyle there is currently a backlog.

The instructions for highland imply that you install it behind side panel of the passenger side of the dash, so its actually likely to be more consealed than in a previous generation M3.
Ref:
As you're all getting excited about this product again I would strongly suggest you consider how attaching this device to your canbus will change the security of your car. If someone outside the car could connect to the wifi the dongle produces then they could unlock the car, or interfere with a car that was driving etc. Do your own research about how secure their methods of protection are. Imagine if I could drive alongside you then disable your Autopilot, turn your lights off etc. The wifi security isn't using normal methods of WPA etc.
Personally I wasn't happy with that so disconnected it.

Thanks- I rarely use the app so i will dig in there and find it. Appreciate the guidance.
Afternoon all,
Does anyone know if installing a SEXY Commander (and by extension either a SEXY Knob or Buttons) requires notification to the insurance company as a "modification" to the car? If so, then failure to notify them in advance could potentially void any claim.
Admiral (who I'm with) define modification as "any changes to the way the vehicle looks, functions or drives, including any changes to support a disability or relating to your profession or business."
Installation of the Commander and buttons/knob themselves don't seem to meet that as the installation doesn't alter the function or drive. Subsequent programming and usage of the buttons could modify its functions or the way it drives though, such as auto-resuming lane assist following a lane change or altering the level of regenerative braking, even if that alteration is only for the duration of the drive in question.
I could give Admiral a call but I strongly suspect that those managing the call centre are unlikely to understand the nature of how the S3XY buttons work etc and will give a generic answer without really addressing the detail (which is fair enough, just not helpful). There's a fair amount online on the S3XY button's impact on a Tesla warranty (i.e. it shouldn't have any as Tesla have to show any warranty fault was caused by an unofficial modification but probably best to unplug the Commander from the car before taking into a service anyway), but that's rather different from insurance requirements.
Thanks.

I wonder if the highland knob (avail March) will be the same colour or matched to the highland trim.
If you're checking their website the date format is Month/Day/Year
In emails it shows it as local (UK) format
Also, just because I was curious, the internet archive first has the page 30th July but I suppose the page could have been different, either way you'll likely get yours before me as I'm needing the highland verson
