Another feature I'd like to see added to the custom firmware is an additional audio message .. something like "warning parking events recorded" if more than one event had been recorded in parking mode (when you enter the car it records an event)

Just want to say thanks to Alex and the Russian guys... The custom firmware is great.. So much better than the backvie effort that they call firmware! I'm currently running 12mb front and 8mb rear and the quality of video is great.. There are a couple of things I've noticed though .. not...

A Power magic is best because it puts it into parking mode which records differently to normal recording which is what will happen if you leave it powered on. This isn't quite true.. the power magic doesnt put the camera into parking mode.. the camera automatically goes into parking mode after...

I have the cable with right angle plugs with my Dr550 and havnt had any problems with the rear camera not working.. not sure if it relavent or not..

Ah! When did that appear? Just noticed 1.019 is available for download on blackvue's web site.. Anyone installed this yet, does it have any new features apart from the time/date fix? Increased bitrate (unlikely I know.. but I'm hopeful!) Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

Excellent .. glad it works ok for everyone .. all we need now the the custom firmware :-) Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

I know that people here have said that changing the time zone to fix the current British summertime issue have said that I doesnt work, but I thought I'd try it anyway to see what happens... And guess what? It works! So, if you live in the UK and the time on your DR550GW is an hour ahead of...

Managed to reinstall v1.014 by changing the version to 1.017 in version.bin .. thanks Alex Unfortunaly it diddnt fix the problem with the camera restarting when I start the cars engine - at least I know that it's not an issue with the 1.017 fimware causing that now though. Think it's just that...

Excellent .. any idea when this will be available? Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

Thanks Alex.. I'll give it a go! Any news on the release of the custom firmware for the 550? Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

Well.. it appears that that you can't install a previous version of firmware .. anyone know of a way to install 1.014 after upgrading to 1.017? Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

I see.. I think it's GPS that takes longer to get a lock which I think it what I uses to sence when the car has moved to exit parking mode.. The other thing I've noticed since the 1.017 update is that when the car is locked and the camera in parking mode.. opening the door triggers an event to...

Which parking mode settings did you change? The motion detection / g sensor settings? I have the motion detection set to 0 as I find it records to much in the busy car park at work otherwise .. I have all of the g sensors set to 100% in parking mode Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk

Has anyone noticed that since upgrading to the new 1.017 firmware (on DR550GW) that the camera takes much longer to exit from parking mode that it did before? I can quite easily be more than a mile from where I was parked before I hear the parking mode disabled message now.. Sent from my...

Well.. at least theyre looking at it.. although it does sound like perhaps they don't understand the problem! Perhaps you should reply explaining how british summer time works and perhaps mention that all cities in the UK are included in summer time although it doesn't always seem like it!.:-)...
