7-series security
As I live just outside London I'm thinking about how best to secure my G11 when it arrives on my drive. Anyone bought any aftermarket security locks etc? I was thinking about a steering wheel lock just as an extra deterrent
Thoughts? |

Yeah its back of my mind for now but need to sort something
BTW I always leave keys downstairs not accessible through the postbox or anything but if they get in I'd rather they take keys and run. The reason being I don't want them going into my kids rooms looking. Something worth considering maybe mate? Also I got my last 2 GAP policies through ALA Gap and will be getting this one if that helps? Any joy with Spotify? |

Doh yes Spotify, I don't use it but got hold of my girlfriends account and tried it out. All works fine, sounds great, is simple to use (although i'm guessing all the carplay ease of use is down to apple, not BMW). Do you have any particular questions about how it works or if it does something in particular. |

re Spotify don't worry if you don't use it, I wanted to find out if tracks downloaded to the car and you could navigate fully in the idrive (other than just fwd/back) but from your test it works well and I'll find out the rest in time No dog for me but house is alarmed just want the extra deterrent... will let you know what I get Thanks |

You could do the following which i have installed in my BMW
1. TRACKSTAR 2. BMW Advanced Car Eye Trackstar is an advanced tracking for BMW that it will notify if moved etc and track it BMW advanced car eye is a DVR that connects to the car and records video during driving as well as parked car records movement and if knocked ( car gets bumped during parking ) , this helps if someone bumps you and you have proof |

I swapped my mats for wet weather ones, got a great price so was happy with that (ebay). Had to buy a key fob cover as i kept opening the boot from my pocket. Best experience so far though was a night out on saturday where I drove there and got driven home, sitting in the back, playing with the tablet and all the settings. Jesus its so comfy back there and mines not even a G12. |

Can you pm me the link for the mats you got - not a bad idea as winter approaches... I'm also thinking about something for the boot. |
