    Power magic pro does not turn off

    I'm still at it. I apologize for the delay in writing back. Here is what I've done: Removed and reinstalled the wiring for the PMP. Tested continuity between the fuses and the connector that gets plugged into the back of the PMP, also tested between ground and the same connector. All...

    Power magic pro does not turn off

    Sorry for taking so long to respond. I ran into a few problems lately, including one of the terminals on my multimeter broke so I had to get a replacement. I ordered the wrong size fuse taps, so I had to wait for those to come in. In the meantime I tried to just repair the broken one and found...

    Power magic pro does not turn off

    I have it in the UP, UP (for 12.5v cut-off), UP, UP, DOWN (for 12hr delay). I even flipped them all down and back up to make the dip switches are actually in the positions they should be. When I was working on this yesterday I unplugged the ground wire and the PMP lost power, of course, When I...

    Power magic pro does not turn off

    I'm looking at my PMP right now and tried the following to no avail (same result): -Moved the ground wire to another bolt that touches the chassis/firewall. -Replaced the wiring that came with the PMP with new wiring that came with my spare PMP. It's not the wires. I also had to redo the...

    Power magic pro does not turn off

    I'm not insulted at all. I will make 100% sure that I have them wired up that way (including the name of the circuit I used) when I take another look at it this weekend. Also, is that a good way to check for a good connection by checking that you have continuity? Or is there another way to test...

    Power magic pro does not turn off

    I have the same problem with my PMP not cutting power to my dashcam when the vehicle is fully turned off but the wiring seems fine. My PMP went out of warranty and I was going to get one for my other vehicle so I went ahead and got a 2nd one and swapped out the unit, leaving the wires in place...

    Connect to dash cam wifi and mobile data at the same time

    My Nexus 6 is running Android 7.0 too and I have internet access through my phone's 4G connection even though my wifi says no internet with a little x on it when connected to my dr650s over wifi in the car. Have you tried opening up a website while it says that? It should still work. Sent from...

    Ideas on how to ground the PMP if the only bolts nearby are big?

    I used pliers to carefully make the "horseshoe" wider to fit around the grounding bolt that I used.

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    Sorry, I typed this reply last night but forgot to submit it... On an Macbook Retina 13" it still shows the "Apple SD Card Reader Media" and inside that it shows "--" as the name of the SD card. It's formatted already so maybe it has trouble reading the device ID. I really don't want to format...

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    I forgot I do have access to an Apple laptop which has a card reader built-in. Will let you know how it shows up.

    I will check mine tomorrow and let you know. How do I check the device ID in Windows 10?

    Switching between two "rear" cameras via RF switch box with DR650S-2CH

    Just coming back to this thread with an update... As I recently found out before starting to drive for Uber, my car insurance policy will drop me if I use my personal vehicle to drive for Uber. I'm not paying for a commercial policy just to drive a few hours a week and make close to nothing...

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    That's about the same price I paid. Mine was $41 with prime shipping. I don't recall who the seller was. It has worked fine for me besides the initialization issue I described earlier.

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    Yeah that should work, based on my experience. But it's good to have another microsd card around (any size) in case you need to troubleshoot like I did.

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    This is what I used and what worked for me. The first step may not even be necessary but I did it anyway. Step 1: Use SD Formatter as described on this page https://www.blackvue.com/sd-card-formatter/ Step 2: Use the Blackvue viewer to format the SD card Step 3 (may be unique to me): Copy the...

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    It's always good to hear testimonials about different cards. Yeah I still plan on wiring one of my dashboard button to the PMP. The stock button doesn't feel very durable to me. But I haven't gotten around to doing that project. But trust me, every time I see my button I remember. It's just not...

    Best compatible 128GB memory card

    I got my Lexar 633x 128GB card but I couldn't format it using my DR650S. It kept trying to initialize over and over. I used SD Formatter and then copied the contents of my 64GB 300x Lexar that was giving me problems to it and inserted it back into the dash cam, bypassing the "initializing SD...

    Switching between two "rear" cameras via RF switch box with DR650S-2CH

    Definitely if a rider is not comfortable with there being a camera in the car I would not want them to ride. I'm picking up a job with Uber part time. In the rare event that something does happen in the cabin I want to be able to protect myself and also make the riders feel more safe knowing...

    Switching between two "rear" cameras via RF switch box with DR650S-2CH

    I have a DR650S-2CH with front and rear cameras. But I plan on working as a rideshare driver soon so I would like to have an IR dash cam recording the interior of the car. I will only be needing to do this maybe 2 days each week and I would rather not have to run more wires down the side of the...
