Hi guys,
I started off my dashcam journey by getting a DR500. One of the things I didn't like about that camera was that the engine noise in my car seemed really distorted - like the microphone was being totally maxed out by the engine noise and it sounded awful. Music, however, sounded OK. If I was talking in the car, that sounded fine too.
Decided to try the DR550 instead but I'm getting the exact same issue. I've tried the original firmware, the 2.0 firmware and the Custom firmware.
Judging by the lack of search results, it doesn't seem like this is an issue for anyone else.
One thing about my car - it's a BMW M135i and has a 'sound symposer', i.e. it plays engine/induction noise through the hifi speakers. It's not a particularly loud car generally though, especially compared to other cars I've owned. There are no speakers anywhere near the cam though. All very strange, and is a bit of a downer on a system that is otherwise fantastic.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
