    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Aloha again everyone, I made another switch. I decided to try the microSD card I had in my GoPro, another SanDisk (Class 10, 64GB, UHS-1) , and it works just fine - at least for now. I'm not sure why the new card doesn't work with the v2.006 firmware, but the old one is good to go. I didn't...

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Aloha Crazy (what a screen name :), Thank you for your response. According to BlackVue's website, you're supposed to format it FAT32 initially, then copy the latest firmware onto the card, then insert the card into the BlackVue device, after which the dash cam will load the firmware...

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Aloha JohnM, and thanks for your response. I agree that your climate is, at times, desirable to mine. Y'all do get a bit chilly during the winter, however. It's interesting to note that your microSD card gets quite hot as well. I wasn't sure if that was just due to the heat here. I was...

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Aloha again, everyone. Y'all were correct, in that the card is the issue in my case. I flashed my dash cam, this time with the BlackVue 15GB microSD card, with the v2.006 firmware, then set everything as it was before (units, WiFi, etc...) and enjoyed a "restart-free" drive into work this...

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    I thought about that, but wasn't sure if I could go back, or downgrade, to the v2.005 firmware. At leas this way, I can compare apples to apples; ie., both cards on the same firmware. I can rule out either the cards or the firmware this way.

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Which card did you get? I remember the same thing happening with my GoPro when I tried 1080p@120fps - my GoPro kept stopping. I was using another Sandisk card. I'll just re-flash with v2.006 with the BlackVue card and see how it goes, although it's only 16GB vs. 64GB. Oh well, I'll just have...

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    I got a 64GB Class 10 Sandisk Ultra. I haven't tried the BlackVue 16GB card, as I wanted to extra storage. Like I said, though, this only started happening after I upgraded the firmware. I had no problem with this same card under the previous firmware.

    My device keeps restarting, but only after the latest firmware...

    Aloha again everyone, I'm a bit confused, unless the firmware itself is the culprit, but since I've upgraded to v2.006, I've experienced several restarts. I have around a one hour drive to and from work, but even today as I went to Medical on the base here, a trip of less than 15 minutes round...

    I finally got my dash cam wired - now to see if everything works correctly ...

    I have a question about Parking Mode. I've noticed that after I get in the car and begin driving, after 2-3 minutes I finally hear the announcement about Parking Mode being turned off. Is that normal? Shouldn't Parking Mode be turned off as soon as the engine starts? Maybe I need to tap a...

    I finally got my dash cam wired - now to see if everything works correctly ...

    You may be right with the interference thing. I put it directly below the housing for the rear-view window, but I have both rain and light sensors and what not there. This pic shows what I mean. The nice thing is that mounted there, I don't even see it while I drive - no visual obstruction.

    I finally got my dash cam wired - now to see if everything works correctly ...

    I'm running the 2.005 (the Cloud version). I can verify that the video is 10Mbps bit rate. Everything is working very well indeed, except the GPS seems to take its sweet time to lock on, and then loses its lock intermittently while I'm driving. Still, it's easy enough to follow on the map...

    Just purchased DR650GW-1CH for 2014 ML350

    Aloha Ralph2, I think that's more a function of your screen's resolution than anything else. I have a 27" iMac running a resolution of 2560x1440. When I used the BlackVue Viewer and ran the video full screen, it was at 133.5%.

    Just purchased DR650GW-1CH for 2014 ML350

    Aloha Ralph2, I was checking some of my other files and noticed the dropped GPS connection as well. I agree as well with your comment about the Registrator Viewer grouping a day's worth of footage as one. That's pretty nice. I finally got my dash cam hardwired to my 2014 ML350. If anyone...

    I finally got my dash cam wired - now to see if everything works correctly ...

    Aloha everyone, I asked a lot of questions and got a lot of good information here. I've never had a dash cam before and I didn't want to screw anything up, so I want to thank y'all for all the responses to my other threads. I worked with a coworker today and installed the add-a-circuit fuse...

    Just purchased DR650GW-1CH for 2014 ML350

    Aloha everybody! I installed my new dash cam last night and the nighttime video was simply amazing! It was far better than what I expected, especially since I had not upgraded to the 2.05 firmware. Video taken this morning on the way to work was pretty good, but I did see some pixelation on...

    2014 ML350 pre-installation questions

    Well, I got the notification that it was delivered today! I'm working with a friend to get it hardwired - I still have to pick up the add-a-fuse adapters and a couple of 5a fuses, then select a good ground and all, but in the interim, I can install it and run the power around the windshield...

    Aloha BlackboxMyCar, Thanks for your response. You mentioned an inline fuse for the power cable. Can you elaborate on that, please? How does that play into my scenario?

    Aloha everyone, My coworker and I just completed our check of the rear seat fuse box. I've identified several potential candidates, but would like to hear if y'all think I'm going down the right path. Here are the potential candidates: Constant Power Fuse Amps Purpose 127 30a Driver...

    Just purchased DR650GW-1CH for 2014 ML350

    Aloha BlackboxMyCar! Has your shop installed a PMP in an ML350 (W166 is 2012-present), or do you know someone who has? I haven't measured - I was going to measure as soon as I got home today - but need to verify that the power cable can reach around the windshield and across to the back of the...
