- Next Base 522GW
Hello all,
its been some time since I'd commented probably cause I'd not had anything to comment on!!! But I have been following the threads on NextBase.
I've been a "somewhat" own of the 512GW for a long time now and owned a rearview cam that Nextbase very kindly gave me free of charge with the great of Tiffany, Tiffany took the full brunt of problems when Nextbase introduced the rearview cam for the 512GW! Thanks for all your help Tiff.
Anyways I thought it'd time to upgrade, I'd seen the 522GW and once I'd seen it I wanted it! So I bought one from Halfords, I asked the sales person about the compatibility the 522 had with my 512 like my biggest concern was with the hardwiring like would it be just a matter unplugging from the 512 then plugging the lead into the new 522 he said yep that wouldn't be a problem! Cause I didn't want to disturb the original wiring for the 512.
Anyways I removed my faithful old 512 and installed the 522 only to discover the input power plug wouldn't fit the new 522 input power supply! so I had to modify the lead to fit the new 522.
Now if the salesman had real knowledge he would have known the difference between the two power supply's and I would have been prepared for the extra job of fitting it!
as it is now I have to remove the entire hardwire and replace it with the correct one for the new 522GW all because of the difference in the power input plug, so be warned people if you buy the new cam you'l need a new hardwire kit !!! it is possible to do a quick bodge but then its up to the individual
