Tony, I agree the lack of speed trap info is frustrating - when you say it runs in the background does that mean you are not displaying the app on any screen (GPS or phone) and just relying on the voice warnings to come into your headset? I am running the new 10.25" TFT and just keep my phone, on charge, in my tail bag and not really wanting to mount it.

Hello Greg.
I also run the 10.25" TFT - and my phone is on charge in the cubby provided for it. So yes, the Connected app is in the foreground - as it has to be to display the map on the TFT - with the Radar All app running behind it. As the phone is in the cubby, I do not have any visibility of it, so I rely on the audio warning to alert me to oncoming cameras. You are able to set the distance for when the warning occurs.

Tony
Thanks for clarification - unfortunately my phone is too big to go in phone cubby above my screen, I ran a separate phone for a while but it was a pain getting the BMW app to sync my trip details to each phone, so I have mounted a USB charger to under the rear seat (using the front 12v power socket for power so it is switched with the accessories) and then the charging cable into my tail bag to the phone. I have found the phones get really hot while charging and using the maps etc so if the day is warm/hot I keep the phone inside a small insulated lunch bag with a frozen bottle of water. Sounds a bit agricultural but works well for me.
Will give your APP a try.
