The Missing Dash Cam Hack

For those who have Driver Assistant Plus, the car comes with:
  • A front camera
  • A rear camera
  • Two side cameras

Also, they all have a hard disc drive of circa 10-12GB, which in all likelihood can be decoded for video playback. And, if not, a USB thumb drive could come to its assistance.

Cameras are there. Storage is there/easy to add. Playback is there. Data capture is absent.

Q: How much would you pay for hack that would make the cameras act as an on-board DVR? It would avoid dash cams for those considering them.

Q: What does it take to make it do this? Coding? Software patch?

Q: Is there a way to send enhancement requests to BMW?

If executed by BMW the best deliver of such a feature would allow the driver to have the recording toggle through cameras, capture all four frames simultaneously, or the one(s) the driver selects, such as front and rear.

I would pay $400-$500 just for that additional DVR function. That would be a great addition to the car.
