My M6+ has worked well for ages now, but a few weeks ago the ddPai cigar lighter plug started to go very intermittent, so recording was also very iffy. The socket in my car is permanently powered, so the M6+ used to switch automatically between parking and normal.
I also suspect that the battery in the M6+ no longer holds any charge.
I replaced the cigar plug with a dual usb one with voltage and current readout on the top face. The M6+ now records and drops into parking mode, but then appears to switch off completely. When running, the meter shows it taking 0.5 amps, which then switches to 0.0 amps when off. From this state, it doesn't wake when I drive off, and it's hard to see how it can when not apparently being powered up.
I can wake it by unplugging and replugging it in, so this is my current workaround.
Have I missed something in the settings, or is it broken?
