I have come to really dislike Blackvue and their products at this point. I won't get started on the 900s and overheating etc. I installed my PMP and cam 5 months ago. Before I go further, let me say that I have extensive experience installing car audio and other car related electronics, so I'm no stranger to DC and the like. So, immediately upon install, I ran into issues with this unit. I could not get it to power on, and after testing and experimentation, I realized that it needed power from the switched side to 'jump start' the unit, and then it would stay on with the truck turned off. I set the voltage cutoff at 12v and left it as is (I should have returned it). It worked fine for a while, now 5 months later the PMP cuts off earlier and earlier in park mode. It used to run for 2 days ish, now only a few hours. No settings have changed on the camera. The voltage sensing on this thing has degraded and now it's useless.
I post this not for help, but to let everyone know what they are getting into with this product. It is unreliable and very cheaply made. Very frustrating.
