ACE 3.0 Upgrade from 2.0
Has anyone upgraded from Advnaced Camera Eye 2.0 to 3.0? A couple of questions:
- Do they use the same power connections (making installation much easier) - Is it worth the upgrade? ACE 2 is good, but you have to turn off CarPlay to access the camera and there are no remote viewing functions. Hoping 3.0 will have better functionality. Otherwise I may switch to BlackVue… |

Hi
Can’t say on the power connection as new car and new install. It is much more compact than the 2.0 and the night and day image quality has improved. You still need to disconnect carplay (turn off phone connection in ID) for the wifi to be picked up. Uses BT for initial sync. App is a little easier to navigate but similar functionality - I feel it may have lost one or two features but couldn’t name them as had 3.0 for over 6 months. |

Another necropost, but I figured it’s better than making a new thread.
Question for you all: I was interested in getting this option added on at the port when the time comes for my G80. I like the idea of cameras for security purposes, but after watching the video BMW put out, I’m starting to think that this leaves something to be desired. I’m always admired what Tesla has with the Sentry Mode, but I suspect the ACE 3.0 is a far cry from that, no? What’s everyone’s thoughts on this option? |

It is a far cry from that as it only has a front and back camera and is not internet enabled. It does however detect people/cars passing when parked and record.
BMW could have done so much with all the cameras onboard for security. |

What does the ACE 3.0 do that the Driver Recorder can’t? Long story short, I’m trying to figure out if I need ACE or not. I get the feeling it’s a little redundant to have both. |

I’ve never had a camera system before, and I’m reading more and more people saying you should have one. Is this one of those “must-adds”? Is the front camera and screen distracting (on the windshield)? I was curious about pros and cons. The YT reviews are almost non-existent. |
