I'm in the same boat, have the tech package and the executive package (canadian model), pretty much all of the options except for the speed limit info.

Shawn,

I am also in this boat. I have a US Spec 335i that does have 6UH but my traffic does not work while I am stationed over here in Germany.

I spoke to every dealer tech they could point me to and they all said its not possible but I believe they just dont actually know.

Is there a way to get my traffic working over here?

Thanks
Josh

No I dont have 6AM but I do have the US version of connected drive and other stuff that doesnt work for me here in the EU.

Here is my last 7 so you can see what options I have F476499.

I really don't know, although I doubt it. ARTTI requires 6AM and is a subscription serve via Telematics.

Europe BMW Assist is different from USA BMW Assist and not included in USA BMW sold in Europe, so it is not just coding. If BMWAG offers the Europe BMW Assist in USA cars by paying the subscription then it may work -but I doubt it.

Thoughts?
I just took delivery of my M4 yesterday... The BMW Genius at the delivery center told me that in Australia, the speed limit display is disabled because we have speed limit signs on the back of buses advertising 40km/h speed limits in school zones and it might confuse the cameras.

I too am hoping this is something i can code in!

I have connected drive everything (RTTI, concierge, lane change, driving assistant, internet, etc etc) so i should realistically have all the features i might possibly need to get this working, fingers crossed
Actually I was told by the dealer due to the inaccuracies (maybe caused by the above conditions), BMW got sued by driver in Australia after having received a speeding ticket, when the speed illustrated was different to the legal limit (driver got a speeding ticket). As such the feature was pulled or disabled. The limitation excuse seems weak from BMW as Mercedes and other manufacturers offer the feature.

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.


Are there any updates on how one could go about obtaining the FSC code? I have the same issue - in that I'm in Australia and this feature is disabled. It would be great to enable this feature as the hardware is clearly there waiting to be used

You can get 7E FSC Code; however, SLI does not work in Australia. It is unsupported country.

FYI speed limit now working on on the BMW HUD, with the new iDrive v.6 system.

Believe it was brought online with new vehicles around July-Sep (new models). Doubt it will be retrofitted? (may be hardware dependent).

Early reports indicate it works ok.

Apparently you are able to order the FSC and get it retrofitted from your local dealer now. Will try when I have some spare time and report back

You need KAFAS2 for SLI, else FSC Code is worthless. I have no idea about KAFAS2 Retrofit.
