Also, I will say this product isn't perfect either. It does sometimes disconnect and the initial setup wasn't easy. Matter of fact, the first couple of days I didn't think the cloud feature was working right and was about to send it back. However, Blackvue had great customer service and was...
Interesting sounds like a pretty good plan to me! It did take some time but I should be faster on the next install ;)
Good point as I don't blame you. Matter of fact you do have that control. Most of the video stays on the memory card in the camera. In the settings you can have it upload only...
True but I still miss the option of having an internal disk/drive thst didn't stick out in a USB port. I am sure its a big cost saving measure. Save to internal drive then later transfer to your device by plugging in a thumb drive. But there is hope since there has to be some kind of internal...
That or an actual harddrive/internal drive. Higher end options from cars 5 to 10 years ago, it was actually common for there to be a hard drive built into the entertainment system. Who needs an SD card when you can save any data you want (mostly MP3s in my case) to the car's harddrive. I have...
Sure, I will try to take some phone pics tomorrow when I park at work. Actually, on Friday I am planning on taking off early to get some real decent pics of the whole car using my SLR with what is remaining of our fall foliage in the background. It's about time for a new car photoshoot. Those...
Sorry, I haven't looked at that idea yet as that will take some time! May check it out this weekend. I am to busy reading about all the other cool mods/ideas that I haven't done yet ;). Reading up on Forscan now. I hope you understand.
Good question. I would like to know this too. I test drove mine in Baha Mode (in 2 Hi) and didn't think it was very applicable for street driving. It held gears to long in my book. Needs a happy medium....
Yes, you can set it up to use up to three hotspots. For example, it is supposed to default to my home wife when parked within range (i.e. driveway or garage). In addition, the LTE Module is a fairly recent accessory. Before this was available, people were adding their own wifi hotspots that...
Excellent find as I didn't know how easy it is to pick up other sizes. Good stuff to share. I imagine that for most cars and trucks the default one is long enough since the rear window is always right behind a rear seat. But for wiring even a mid size SUVs, vans, etc, this 10m cable (or more)...
I originally didn't want to go to the fuse box for my power and thought hard about getting power from mirror, aux switches, overhead console, etc. But after seeing a few posts on how easy it was to run wires down the A pillar to fuse box area, it was a no brainer. This was one of the easiest...
Good point about eventually running to hardtop rear glass. I may eventually be in same boat. But I forsee another problem, atleast for this model. The cable is maxed out to the center of the rollbar so we may need a different solution to make it to rear glass. I know Blackvue makes a separate...
Fyi. Just saw your post in the "similar threads" section after I made mine. Have you done the install yet?? If not, maybe this will help: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/diy-install-for-blackvue-900-dashcam-with-real-time-updates-and-radardector.28555/
Thanks. Definitely long winded but I thought some could use the detail as the vehicles are still so new. Matter of fact I welcome any responses for other ways to run the wires as much of this early stuff is trial and error!
Thought I would do a detailed write up of how a dual dashcam and radar detector install went over the past couple of days. I actually responded with some thoughts on similar posts, but thought to include my own experience with a few pics I took. I assume many are like me and haven't seen many...
In my case, I have a couple of APPs that do not get pulled in with Android Auto or Apple Car Play. For example. I have one App that syncs with my radar detector and has a lot of extra features that even out does Waze (JBV1). Nothing like running Waze on the big screen and JBV1 off to the side...
I have the Ford accessory table too. For the most part I am rattle free but I have heard a few rattles when coming to a quick stop. However, I am not sure the table is the source since mine did come with the rubber stoppers. I have heard others indicate another source of rattles that I am...
