Very technical speak. So does the F80 2018 have RTTI or ARTTI in Australia? I know it was very close to google maps accuracy. Better than any other car I’ve used.

I think we are saying the f80 has SIM card traffic and is the more accurate type right?

I heard they get their traffic data from the same source as Audi and Mercedes. The merc I drove was crap with arrival times and the bmw was spot on. Not sure how that works.

Yes, it should be ARTTI via SIM Card.

With my F82 in Montreal, the traffic information is not very accurate, it's shows green when the traffic is very slow and orange when the traffic is stopped and should showing red on the map. Also the information is not really updated continuously.

It is what it is...nothing can be done to improve it.

Having the real google maps on the Idrive will be the best solution

Not sure about Mercs but right here in North America Audi’s traffic information is provided not over the internet, but by Sirius’s satellites, which takes longer to refresh, not accurate, doesn’t work in underground parking lots, and the ETA is abolutely shit.

The ETA calculation is done by the navigation system itself so I guess BMW has better software engineers than Audi and Merc, if the source of traffic info is the same.

..... sounds like I should have the KAFAS camera (whatever that means)?

Are you saying that I need BMW AG to issue me with a code that I need to import into my car? How would I go about doing that on the dodgy, as BMW Australia obviously won't help me do this.
So yes, you have KAFAS camera, but you need a 7E FSC Code issued by BMW AG for your VIN, and getting one is a problem. While I believe there is a Part Number for it in ETK, I have yet to hear of anyone being able to successfully order and obtain one.

An FSC Code = Freischaltcode = Enabling code.

Your car has many FSC Codes, most in the Head Unit, that enable features such as Navigation, Voice Control, Text-To-Speech, BMW Apps, Sat Radio, etc., and there are other FSC Codes for other ECU's such as Servotronics (EPS), Night Vision, Speed Limit Information (SLI), Front Collision Warning, Pedestrian Detection, etc. Without the appropriate FSC Code, even if the car has the required hardware, the associated function cannot be enabled.

If you are able to actually get the FSC Code, Modifying your Vehicle Order to add 8TH, Importing and Activating the FSC Code, and Encoding the car for SLI is pretty easily done with E-Sys.
The dealer in Australia will get this code and update the car over a couple of days.

They charge around $350

What are they actually doing to apply the update given they don't "code"?

They do code. They VO Code, and they will VO Code car for 8TH. They can't FDL Code.
