so when i go to the hidden menu under settings, there's a menu called telematics where i can put in my cell phone number and a few other interesting things... any idea what this is for?

 

Interesting. I haven't played with the setting.

 

anyone go more in depth with this?

 

after playing with it some more, there's a kit you can buy from mini uk that will let you link with a live person to talk to, and there are some services you can have your phone send out to to say call for emergency or call out directly or text you if your car goes missing or stolen... etc. anyone have any info on the telematics menu stuff? also... I know you can activate a television menu with the proper euro adaptor in the nav unit, and you can activate a telephone menu with the proper adaptor again, any other menu's that can be activated with different functionality? oh yeah there's the front and rear camera's.. but any others possibly from other countries that we just need add-on's for??? i love gadgets and this is way too much fun!
