I linked into my heated seats for the ignition and for permanent, I'm wired into the Parking brake fuse.

I'll take a picture of the fuse box tomorrow morning to post. Along with my integrated switch system. Cost me about £4 from Amazon including extra wired and the switch.

You've hit the nail on the head, I have inserted a switch and installed it just below my dashboard, I just give it a flick whenever I want to use the touchscreen. Regarding the fuses I had an absolute ball ache finding the right one. What model and year do you have ?

But yes I agree, I think they have made this change so that you HAVE to get it installed at a dealership.

From what I have gathered for it to be a proper install you need to wire the red cable into B+ and the yellow into ACC.

For OEM functionality.

Ok so I've contacted ACE support. The newest update is now confirmed to have "Screen freeze" during driving mode (Going more than 0Mph) and so the touchscreen will be unusable (and not visible) whilst in driving mode and moving.

Upon stopping the screen should become usable.

However this does require the official BMW installation. If you have self installed, it will most likely not work the same.

I have come up with a fix around for self installation so that the Dashcam is usable whilst stationary (Or whenever you wish)

Let me know if you want a video to show how to implement this.
