be careful if still under warranty.

As in how to be careful? Just make sure its tapped to cig/12v port and not directly to batt will do right?

just got out from 40k servicing. And the SA noted on the invoice that my car was installed with non-BMW car camera. Do you guys know which line item on the warranty will be voided henceforth?

must ask them but should be battery in best possible and electricals in worst case scenario.

hi all, can i check if anyone of you encountered battery leakage problems? i suspect is coming from the dashcam.

I encountered warning "Battery discharging while stationary". Went down PML for regular servicing and consulted the SA. He mentioned is due to the dashcam and it coincides with my Ace 2.0 not working and functioning abnormally.

Quoted me $1400 for change new Ace 2.0 and same day replied me promotion $999 until feb.

You can look up soon lee audio. They mainly do iroad and so far done an excellent job in hiding all wires and wiring to fusebox with proper fuses. Alternative is buy a used x9 or x10 set and they will also do the install for you. Remember to get the external battery if ypu plan on doing the 24hr parking thing or the car will throw a idrive error msg.

Can i check if will void the warranty when i go to my engine oil servicing in future?

No one can answer that question 100% unless they represent PML

PML has become jittery recently ever since someone went on social media and badmouthed them after a car with an aftermarket cam caught fire.So , I wouldn't play if under warranty although technically it should only void battery warranty.

I have the same exact problem. He told me if I don't change the dashcam my battery will spoil and need around 2k to replace it too.

Funnily enough he purposely told me after my warranty just expired and quoted me 1.4k to change it. Ridiculous customer service especially when I already voiced out that it isnt working and they didn't bother before the warranty.

Seems like this car camera is very problematic and pretty sure 2.5 years later same problem will occur and they will try to get our money again.

Full of shit, been running aftermarket dash cameras for many years now. If you want to avoid the increased battery drain get an external battery and run the camera off that. Many better cameras then the crappy ace that BMW is trying to flog

Any idea if replacing 1.0 to 2.0 will require to re-run the wiring?

 

[Oilman]

Seems like Advanced Car Eye 3.0 already out in other markets. Heard anything from the official stealership here?

Been experiencing battery drain issues and super hot camera on my ace 2.0. PML SE advice to change and quoted 1400 which is ridiculous.

found on Facebook a place which offers a warranty friendly solution at fraction of PML price. I think it’s bmw_ace_specialist or something. Fix my problem in no time. Sharing with fellow bimmers facing same situation.

They don’t exactly fix. Just replace my front camera. Here’s the carousell link. https://carousell.app.link/yKT5i5So7tb
