information to the main i-drive hidden menu but this one shows live GPS speed
in km/h. To access the menu follow these steps:
1. From the main i-drive menu select the navigation screen by press the idrive controller right (east).
2. Once in the navigation section make sure the top sub-menu shows
navigation and not information, etc then go to the bottom section and
highlight "Map Indicating Direction of Travel" but don't click on it.

3. Press the i-drive controller to the top-right (north-east) corner and hold it
there for 10 seconds and then release.
4. Rotate the i-drive controller right (clockwise) 3 clicks.
5. Rotate the i-drive controller left (anti-clockwise) 3 clicks.
6. Rotate the i-drive controller right (clockwise) 1 click.
7. Rotate the i-drive controller left (anti-clockwise) 1 click.
8. Rotate the i-drive controller right (clockwise) 1 click.

most definitely live!
