Hi all,
I purchased a Mini 0805 for my car in April. I bought a hardwire kit in mid-July, and prior to this I had been using the supplied 12v cigarette lighter socket to power it. The camera was working fine hardwired for about 2 weeks, but I then noticed when I turned the ignition on, I wasn't getting the 'jingle' the camera makes when it's on.
It displays a solid red (and sometimes blue) LED, but other than this, it is unresponsive - no screen or anything. I also tried the camera with the old 12v cable again, and also changed the fuse adapter position in the fuse box, but this did not help. Checked my SD card and the camera did not record anything.
I also noticed the camera itself was quite warm when I removed it from the GPS module. The camera was purchased from the UK dedicated website, and I hardwired it using parts I purchased from Ebay (hardwire kit advertised for Mini 0805; fuse adapter; 10A fuse). Installation was straight forward, and grounded the kit by connecting the wire underneath a screw on the metal chassis. Fuse adapter is piggybacked off a 40A fuse - only one I could find that was ignition activated.
Any help would be appreciated!
