hi,
I thought my problem was with the auto startup but found that möbius starts intermittently when used in the car.
I have tried via USB on two vehicles and with spytec hardwire kit directly to the battery.
Sometimes I get the blue light but most of the time nothing at all.
When I test via wall plugged USB auto starts every single time.

I have checked möbius site and their hardwire kit is no longer available.
Any suggestions on what might be the reason for my problem and is there another hardwire kit out there?
I have tried battery and super capacitor on firmware 2.33

Thank you.
 
More info.
As I was checking the cable I realized the USB cable is hot, the converter is hot and the camera is cold, meaning not getting any power.
Is it normal for the USB cable to get hot? I wouldn't think so.
I am starting to believe I have garbage cable.
This is my second spytec kit, is there something else?

Thank you again
 
SpyTec ain't what they used to be in more ways than one. Without an electrical load (camera) attached the USB cable should not be getting warm at all, and a good cable will hardly warm up under a load.

I'm using an older Anker 2.4A plug-in PS and an old Belkin (?) 3m extension cable going into a no-name cable- never had a problem except for the plug loosening maybe twice a year. I just push it in every few weeks to avoid that ;)
