The ML MM is a great peice of kit however does anybody know if there are any options to:

1. Add speed cameras to the Sat Nav.
2. Turn off safety message when start up - I have been so agreeable since owning this car!!!

I am guessing the answer to both of these is no but would make my day if something could be done.

Cheers

There is no easy way to do no 1 other than to physically put in the camera into the memory banks. When I see a fixed camera, I quickly register the point, then save it into memory. When I get home, I then edit the memory point. be sure to change the icon to "With Sound" / direction so that it will beep as you approach the point. To the downside, it beeps some 500m before approaching the point. But, that gives ample time to slow down.

Hi Guys

Thanks NCC for the info as I was actually going to raise a similar topic.

Having just got back from holiday, set sat nav to find me the travel lodge in Bristol ( partner did not want me to drive home after flying).

However, going thro Bristol and listening to sat nav ( and not looking at the screen ) I lost concentration as was flashed.

Well annoyed really as was not very much over the speed at 43 etc.

With regard to memorising the location, what button do you press to log location etc.

Thanks once again, only hope now that there was no film in the camera, not sure whether this applies anymore.

As soon as I get my dual layer drive, I'll let you know.

I know you can re-write the disks, it just depends where the POI are held and if they are in separate files.

The downside would be the updates - burning a new disk. But then doing that once a month wouldn't be a great hardship once you have the template done.

the dvds that come with the car are writeable? thought they wouldnt allow u to write on them..ie "finish" them?

Sorry no - when I said re-write the disks I should have said, re write new disks.

Clear as mud I am sometimes..........

I doubt very much you could easily modify any of the the data. It will be in a format that is not changeable - for sure - unless someone has left a back door in. Let us know how you get on...

Using the Voice commands you can just hit the speakey button say "Mark Point" and it does it for you...

I can't even get the disk out on mine - only one of the prongs actually "clicks" when inserted into the orifice...it needs to be sorted out at the dealers.

i took one of the dvds and made a "image" of it on my hard drive then went to burn it only to realise i need a dual layer drive coz the image was too big for a normal dvd-r. but not sure if the mls reads dual layer discs. coz pressed discs can take larger amounts on one side....so not sure on that part till i get a dual layer drive n try out my self.
