BMW does not come with a dash cam, but it does have the BMW Advanced Car Eye. Below is some relevant information about the BMW Advanced Car Eye: Customized for BMW Owners: The BMW Advanced Car Eye is a tailor-made dash cam for BMW owners that does not require external cables. Unlike many dash cams that only function while driving, the BMW Advanced Car Eye can also flexibly and automatically activate video recording in parking mode, clearly recording the vehicle's status and providing evidence for any potential incidents. Besides being a safety aid, the BMW original dash cam is also an excellent video recording device that can capture more beautiful moments during your journey.

I noticed this issue right after buying my BMW. It doesn't come with a factory-installed dash cam, you'll need to install one yourself. Whether it's a 3 Series or 5 Series, even the top-trim X7 doesn't have it as standard. If the dealer didn't include it when you took delivery, you'll need to consider aftermarket installation. There are two options: genuine BMW accessories (must be installed at dealership, more expensive but integrates perfectly with iDrive) or third-party solutions (cheaper but may require visible wiring). My advice - negotiate with the salesperson before taking delivery, you might get a genuine one for free. Don't wait until you're driving home to realize you forgot about the dash cam - that would be awkward.

How many degrees should the steering wheel be turned for a small right turn?

For a small right turn, the steering wheel should be turned approximately 150 to 160 degrees. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering wheel mainly consists of a frame, foam, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB). Typically, the steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, acting as a connector between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures a more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.

How to Remove and Install the Cabin Air Filter in Volvo XC60?

Volvo XC60's cabin air filter is located under the glove box on the passenger side. The removal and installation steps are as follows: 1. First, remove the passenger side foot mat, then pull out the carpet to reveal the cabin air filter cover of the Volvo XC60; 2. Next, open the cabin air filter cover to see the filter inside, take out the old filter and replace it with a new one, then reinstall it following the original steps. Detailed instructions for removing and installing the Volvo XC60 cabin air filter are as follows: 1. First, remove the clips located at the front of the passenger side in the engine compartment, then take out the sound insulation cotton. Be careful to avoid damaging the clips. 2. Remove the filter. After taking out the sound insulation cotton, reach in to remove the baffle, then reach in again to take out the cabin air filter. Note that there is an arrow indicator on the outside of the filter; avoid installing it backwards. When driving with the air conditioning on, the car draws in outside air into the cabin, but the air contains various particles such as dust, pollen, soot, abrasive particles, ozone, odors, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, benzene, etc. Cleaning tip: If the filter is dirty, clean it by blowing compressed air from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5 cm away from the filter and blow at a pressure of 500 kPa (5.0 kgf/cm²) for about 2 minutes. The cabin air filter easily collects a lot of dust; use a blower or high-pressure air to remove the dust. Do not wash it with water, as this can easily ruin it.
