I wish I hadn't bought the Nav (GPS) w/my 2015 MINI
Purchased my 2015 MINI with the Nav - only to learn after it arrived that the Nav doesn't give you speed limit info like every other Navi/GPS does.
Turns out that to get the speed limit alert feature, one has to purchase the camera/back up system for $$$ more. The salesman totally misrepresented the Nav/GPS capability when the car was ordered.
My question now is; can I get an aftermarket Navi/GPS software upgrade so I can get this functionality thru the MINI center console display?
The MINI is a US spec model but I live in Germany for now and the speed limit change so frequently that this feature is a MUST have to avoid the speed camera tickets.
Thx!

However, if your MINI is a US spec car, the camera wouldn't recognize European signs anyway. Do you have the European maps loaded on your car? Either way, there is no way to retrofit that feature.

It's not on the configurator, but it has been available since last September/October. It's a $1000 standalone option and includes the distance based cruise control, collision/pedestrian detection with limited braking, automatic high beams, and speed limit info. The Fully Loaded package is the prerequisite.
