Retrofit speed limit info 8TH success UK

First of all thanks for shawnsheridan kindly help!!

I have a 2015 x5 30d M sport come with Kafas2 camera for 5AC AUTOM. HIGH-BEAM HEADLIGHTS CONTROL and 5AS DRIVING ASSISTAN. The dealer didn't order the 8TH Speed limit info. Therefore I try to find how to get it activated as I know SLI use the same Kafas2 camera.
After searched, understand need FSC code to active this function, speak to Shawnsheridan, he give me Gerry's details, who order the FSC code for me, take about 3 days.
After recived the code, follow this process
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...90&postcount=2

And change the parameter fields as follow:
Diag Address = 0x5D
Base Variant = KAFAS2
Application Number = 0x7E
Upgrade Index = 0x01

After that, it's working now on my HUD or dashboard.

I do the VO coding before import the code,
adding 8TH to FA and VO Coding KAFAS2, KOMBI and NBT.

Thank you for everyone's help! Good luck.

also, I stumbled on this device for retrofitting map based speed limit if you don't have the kafas

ww w.cust0mretrofit.ro/bmw-speed-limit-info-activator (remove space in www's and replace 0 with o)

for some reason, when I try to insert this as a link, or even as text, it replaces the URL with ******

is cust0mretrofit blocked by the forum for some reason ???

Thanks for sharing. Is there any chance you can give me Gerry's detail? I'm interested in retrofitting mine.

Interesting. I just figured it was standard with the HBA and KAFAS2 camera. I guess if some places you can still order the F15 with halogen lights, they'll find a way to charge for speed limit info.

Hi Zacklee, I am new to the forum and just got my X5 F15. I am in the UK. I don't have access to the coding equipment and wondered if you would do the Speed Limit retrofit for me....for a charitable donation of course . I have lane departure warning, collision warning and on the windscreen it says 'connected drive' so I believe I have the necessary hardware. Please can you let me know
