Speed limit info

Proud owner of X5 F15 X25D M package MY2017

I have problems with speed limit info, for some reason HUD and control panel does not "read/display" speed limit info from signs. I we searched entire forum but i didn't find this issues with X5. I have connected drive camera with line tracking, front collision warning, pedestrian alert, HBA and also i have navigation pro with touch screen and iDrive 5. How can i activate this feature or fix issue?

Thanks in advance!

It seems the camera is reading speed limit info with the white-color background much better than the one with other colors (yellow, blue, etc.).

The problem is the navigation map. Drive outside Serbia and it will work.

Since you have both HUD and Speed limit info/SLI .
If all is well, you should be able to see SLI on both Instrument Cluster and Windshield/HUD. I always find HUD is best as it is in your line of vision as you drive.
You should see be able to enable this through settings. Let me check my x6 tomorrow.

There is nothing wrong with the camera, hud, settings or signs.

The navigation map for Serbia does not have speed limit information, therefore the system will not work, even if the camera reads the signs.

If he will drive his car to Germany, the speed limit info will work fine.

SLI also not working in Australia

I also have the same issue here in Australia where SLI does not work. BMW Australia deliberately removed it from the X5 model range here sometime ago due to litigation reasons. I am now trying to reactivate it in mine as one forum member has just bought a new G series X3 here in Australia, and has confirmed he has the function working. I have also updated my maps to the same as what he has. I also have all the appropriate hardware plus more installed, so it's just a matter of coding it back

I have managed to code the NBT2 unit to display the option to turn it on in both the instrument display and HUD but sadly it did not work. I don't even get the blank sign as seen in the OP's link to the pic of the instrument panel

Is there anybody out there with a 2016/17 X5 with SLI working that does E sys coding that can send me a copy ncd files of their Kombi and Kafas2 modules so I can compare them using Tokenmaster's Software Tools. Ideally it would be good if I could get an EU ROW model as my experience with VAG autos is the US/Canadian models differ somewhat compared to the ROW. However something is better than nothing

Please PM your email address so I can send you mine and copies of my ncd files for your perusal and verification.

I have also had a look at my 2016 Garmin maps of Australia and they all have the speed data then so I don't believe it's a map data issue

Hi,
With my X5 F15 I have tested the speed limit info in the folowing countries:
In Germany, Austria, Croatia and Romania works fine.
In Serbia, BiH, Macedonia and Bulgaria does not work.
I bought the newest map updates and installed but still doesn’t work in mentioned countries.
I’m not sure it depends on maps, if I am not wrong camera reads signs and all the maps should contain speed limits because it should be the main parameter how the navigation calculates trip time estimation for choosed destination.

Could you please share your expirience with RTTI - real time traffic information in Serbia or other Balcan countries. I bought RTTI service but it worked fine only when I was in Austria and Germany.
Thanks!

I believe default speed data is provided by maps, and if the kafas2 camera does read a sign, it will update and override the display from the sign. So if the maps don't have the SLI, this will not work.

Did anyone know how to solve this? Someone says that you can code something so it works in Bosnia/Serbia for example? I have also 2021-3 Nav Map, ID5 etc etc, when I go to Croatia SLI works perfectly. When I come back to Bosnia it doesn't work, is there anything I can code so camera reads signs here too or to take info from Navigation MAP? I read somewhere from phone, on some another forum when I was traveling that people code something and it's working, but now I was searching 2 days and can't find that thread. I am up to pay/donate if someone help me fix that. Thanks in advance and sorry about not perfect english

And yes, I dont wanna upgrade some Chinese SLI Emulator

I ended up getting an FSC code from a dealer to get it to work it was expensive and I subsequently found a thread on the forum where there is one member that can supply it at a much lower cost
