Hello,

I have a PMP set up and the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH connected to it. Now it doesn't happen a lot of the time and generally only lasts for a short time but I will be driving and hear "The BlackVue is now shutting down".

Not the best thing to hear when you are driving 50-70MPH. Then after about 1 minute it will come back on saying "Starting normal recording"

I have checked the wiring and all appears to be fine. Can't see any loose connections. Has this happened to anyone?
 
yes..

put some blutac around the plug before you plug it into the camera and be sure there is no strain on it from the cable..

if that doesn't sort it..

start cussing !
 
Is the light on your PMP on / off while this is happening? Perhaps a loose power connection?? Perhaps a bad memory card, can you try another one?
 
Is this the plug on the PMP that I plug the camera into?

The green light goes off.
If.. the light goes out while you are driving it would indicate a power supply issue. But, if the ACC connection failed then the secondary supply should kick in (providing you have the switch turned on). Being as it does not I am suspecting your ground is at fault.
