Thank you for your post, as it reminded me to install the database on my unit. I have done so, and can confirm that it works.

In answer to your question, I selected "Becker Traffic Assist Z" from the menu and it worked like a charm.

BTW, the procedure may have changed slightly since the OP first posted last year. Earlier today, I simply did the following and it worked (I am simply stating what I did, not making any recommendation -- YMMV):

1. I downloaded the file called SpeedcamUpdates.spb from http://www.scdb.info/ and saved it on my computer's hard drive;
2. I removed the SD card from my BRZ (after turning off its engine and removing the key);
3. I inserted the SD card into my computer;
4. I found 2 files in the subfolder \navigation\content\speedcam on the SD card: one called SpeedCamText.txt and another called SpeedcamUpdates.spud (I backed up those two files on my computer, just in case);
5. following the instructions on the http://www.scdb.info/ website, I deleted both files of the files already on the SD card (i.e., I deleted them from the subfolder \navigation\content\speedcam) and copied the file SpeedcamUpdates.spb from my computer (into the same subfolder on the SD card);
6. I properly ejected the SD card from my computer;
7. I inserted the SD card into the head unit on my BRZ (before inserting the car key and turning on the engine);
8. I started the car, looked at the NAV screen and... voilą, a bunch of cameras!

I test drove the car for about 15 minutes and can testify that all eight speed and red light cameras that I know to be on that route popped up where they should have.

PS: The warning chime indeed does come on too early for my taste. By "too early" I mean about 5 blocks from where the camera is located, which IMHO is too far from the camera in an urban environment (where I tested the system).
