Yup I did.
Pretty sweet to be able to start and stop the recording from the idrive controller (even though I didn't strictly need it since it was mounted on my helmet). You also are able to power the camera on and off, see the current battery status and change modes (but not settings). Overall it works pretty damn well. The only thing I couldn't get to work was the live preview on the idrive screen. I suspect that's just "smoke and mirror" from GoPro at the moment. You are just stuck with a big GoPro logo. One disadvantage though is that you cannot use the M-Laptimer at the same time. Not really an issue in AutoX, since it barely works in that application, but I can see that being an issue at the track. I haven't tested to see if switching apps worked (and kept the recording going) in which case it would only be a mild inconvenience. I used a GoPro HD Hero 2 and wifi back in that case. The camera doesn't really matter since everything happens at the iPhone App level. Last edited by d0o0fy; 08-06-2014 at 10:19 AM.. |

I have a Blackvue in my Black Series for the track and I find it more functional than the gopro because it overlays speed on the video that I can show friends and anyone else viewing. The go pro's advantage is in the different angle shots! BMW came so close with this feature but they are missing one important feature for me and that is speed overlay! If they are able to integrate the car's speed and possibly even GPS location that would be amazing! Also as other's have said the fact it restricts you from accessing performance data on the track is kind of crappy as well. Just my $0.02.
