Hi all, newbie here, but please don't hold that against me. I bought a new DR500GW-HDa few months ago but have only just installed it in my new car.
When I powered it up, in the garage, it said it was initialising card, etc. I then went out for a drive and all LED's looked good. Solid blue, flashing orange.
However, the date and time isn't being set, it's stuck on 1970 and is the same every time it starts. Sometimes the speed works, sometimes it doesn't. The GPS logo is red when monitoring with live view. The coordinates area on the live screen is blank and the map obviously doesn't work either.
I have trawled through threads on here and seen it's not uncommon. I have reformatted the supplied 16GB card to Jo effect, I have reinitialised the unit outside in clear sky view to no effect. I have driven for 30 mins to no effect.
Does anyone have any further things I can try, or should I take it back to where I purchased it from?
I did some research before I bought this and the Blackvue came recommended, but after reading through these forums it seems that i was mistaken
