So I finally took the plunge on buying a dashcam. Decided to purchase a Blackvue DR970X-2CH-LTE with B130x battery. I'm having nothing but issues with it. I purchased the additional 256gb Blackvue sd card to accompany the camera. First issue, it was saying please insert sd card, rebooting, and doing the same thing over and over. I then put the 64gb card in and it seemed to recognize it. I went through setting up my SIM card and its telling me "Please activate SIM card" I went through Blackvue's instructions on updating the firmware via their website and even though I'm installing version 1.005 on both sd cards and trying through the remote firmware update through the app, it continues to display version 1.004 and I'm still having the camera say "please activate sim card" after it says upgrading, blackvue for your safe driving, starting normal recording. Anything else I should try or do I have a $540 paperweight?
