So I'm on the latest firmware from a few days ago (N4PS_VT-EFD251) which introduced a few new features and modes. However I can't seem to get the parking mode to turn on and off correctly.

Parking Mode Detection to "ACC" - N4 Pro S starts when car starts, but when I turn off the engine, N4 Pro S stays on and doesn't actually go into parking mode just continues recording in normal mode.
Parking Mode Detection to "Auto" - N4 Pro S doesn't start up when I turn on the engine, but once turned on manually by pushing the POWER button, it goes into parking mode fine.
Parking Mode Detection to "G Sensor" - N4 Pro S doesn't start up when I turn on the engine, but once turned on manually by pushing the POWER button, it goes into parking mode fine.


Other settings:
OBD Kit is set to cut off at highest voltage 12.4 V
Parking Mode is set to 2 hours. For Auto and G Sensor "Parking Mode Detection", the parking recording stops after 2 hours as expected.
I was kind of hoping "Auto" was in between ACC and G Sensor since they're both kind of "half working".

I've actually moved the camera from my car (MG 3 Hybrid+) where "Auto" had it working correctly to my wife's car (Honda City eHEV) which resulted in the areas I mentioned.

Not sure if there's anything I should be aware of to make this work?

Using the OBDII doesn't have an ACC and Battery wire. N4ps enterS parking mode after being idle 5 minutes. The camera will ONLY shut off after reaching the voltage cutoff level that you set on the OBDII.

Thank you. I guess then there are only 2 options:
1) Set Parking Mode Detection to "ACC" - N4 Pro S starts when car starts, but when I turn off the engine, N4 Pro S stays on and doesn't actually go into parking mode just continues recording in normal mode. Shut off then happens after reaching the voltage cutoff set.
2) Set Parking Mode Detection to "Auto" or "G Sensor" - N4 Pro doesn't start automatically but has to be powered on manually. Once turned on manually by pushing the POWER button, it goes into parking mode fine.

I guess #1 kinda works but for #2, is there a way to power it on "automatically"
