DAPP Stopped Working

Pretty sure it's talking about the camera in your windshield that looks at the road.

Probably the eye tracking cameras are blocked. For hands-free, all 3 have to be able to see your eyes. I use my two seating presets to store both the normal setup for driving, and the setup for using hands-free. My preferred driving position has the wheel down low where the rim blocks the cameras along the top of the instrument cluster.

There's three cameras inside? I only thought there was one in between the two LED screens on the dashboard.

There is also one on each side of the center dash screen, one on the left side in the center and the other one on the right side.

Look in the photo from the post below. And if you pay attention, on the right there is also a black vertical rectangle containing the right sensors.

I didn't post this picture on purpose, because I think that's where everybody gets the idea that there are only 2 cameras...

Now that I think about it, I also can't get gestures to work even though I'm pretty sure they're turned on.

And then randomly sometime a song will Skip and then it will show me the gesture on the screen like I magically did it.

But then if I try to repeat I can't get it to work even if I do the gesture while moving my hand around the different points in the driver

So it got me thinking that maybe there's an issue at the camera but I have no idea.

Side note, just to be sure how can I confirm the highways are mapped for assistance.

One is the hardy toll road and 99 in Houston which absolutely should be mapped because they're major highways

All good info but iI think the OP should just start with an iDrive reboot before visiting the dealer...

Are you specifically trying to get Highway Assist to work? Because DAPP works everywhere. It's Highway Assist that's only available on certain roads. The mapped Highway Assist areas can be viewed on the navigation app:



If you're wondering how to activate Highway Assist, you just let go of the steering wheel after activating DAPP. There's no extra button press needed.

And if it's not happening because you're getting "Camera restricted", take your car to the dealer so they can scan for codes. There is clearly nothing covering your cameras so you might have bigger problems to tackle.
