I think that's correct, but can always great with an inline USB power meter to be sure. After locking my car, power stays on to the sockets inside the car for about 30 secs. Oddly, I've started to notice, that my new powerbank switches on (and therefore the dashcam) when the car starts. This...

Is your ideal system like this? So either direct from the car when driving, then switch (ideally automatically) to the powerbank when parking? Here's what I'm running now because my powerbank charges twice as quickly in the car (when the car is running) than it discharges to the dashcam. I also...

USB switch works perfectly. It took a week to arrive from China. Tested, then fitted to my car in the glove box, inserted between the powerbank and the USB lead to the dashcam, which can now easily be switched on/off with the dashcam hidden. Sent from my G3112 using Tapatalk

Could you clarify the question? I've not had to destroy any USB cables so farwith my set up [emoji6] For a few weeks I've been running a single power chain successfully (if interested, you can see the detailed install in a previous post) Car USB <> powerbank <> dashcam Since the powerbank is...

Back to one of the original issues which bugs me too.... I've been looking for a solution to this (a switched USB cable) and just found it. So I'll put that as nearly as I can, in my central console box, attached to the powerbank USB output socket, then to the USB cable which runs from there up...

Looks like the lever was meant to go up, but didn't go down? Any chance of taking the thing apart and put it right? If not then I guess there'd be some available in car breakers or eBay. Nice. My engine bay is fully covered, not possible to see any components at all! The next engine I'd look...

So maybe it could work best like this: * Factory-fit USB sockets at the dashcam end (e.g. top, centre windscreen) * The factory-fitted USB cables from these sockets connect to the car's power system. * Users can choose, via the car's computerised management system (or it could be a simple...

Can you remove your cupholder? A whole back, I dropped an SD card down the gap there (it holds speed camera POIs that show on the satnav) and thought it lost forever, but lo, a click and the entire single unit of two cupholders nearly slides out. Once the unit is out, I'd be confident of fixing...

That's an attractive looking system, but Citroen on the C3 got there before Audi - http://www.citroen.co.uk/about-citroen/technology/connectedcam-citroen What I'm specifically interested in is factory-fitted dashcam-relevant power sockets, so drivers can fit any desired dashcam (as most of us...

Do you think that it would be a good idea for discreet USB sockets to be factory-fitted right by the two most popular dashcam positions: center top windscreen, front and back? Every one of us dashcam users runs a power cable to a power socket, either dangling down in front of the windscreen...

With that many subscribers the viability of live stream sessions increases dramatically, especially if there's likely good content from driving on the day, fun inter-activity from the viewers, etc. I'd do it, especially as it's becoming as easy and cost-effective to stream as upload. Sent from...

Doesn't that depend whether the code reuses licensed open source code that obliges them to make it available (e.g. GPL variants)? If they are obliged by the licensing, but don't, then this can be brought to their attention so they can do the right thing. Under certain circumstances they can be...

Incidentally have you looked (or posted) at the Mercedes forum? I'm gr1nch there too Here's a CL63 search on there... http://forums.mbclub.co.uk/search/344048/?q=CL63&t=post&o=date Sent from my G3112 using Tapatalk

Good point. I've been careful to put the cable along the windscreen to the side of the airbag, but at the bottom of the A pillar it does run in the join with the dashboard, so theoretically the airbag force could push the cable out there and all around. The only way to guarantee safety is to...

The late CL is my favourite Mercedes shape. Such presence. A real feeling of power and luxury, visually. I didn't get the same feeling from the new S-Class Coupé externally, although the interior is modern and special. Although I love my W222 I'm surprised how unsolid and plasticky some parts of...

Thanks Dride. DCT folks, any with the Dride products (or open source mods) to share? Sent from my G3112 using Tapatalk

A 3m cable might well be too short for the front. My car (Mercedes W222) has a similarly dimensioned front compartment and I used a 5m cable, with only 10cm to spare, from the dashcam on the passenger side (so closest to the USB socket) routed down the windscreen (not down the A pillar), door...

Great car you are looking to get. How have you been finding the coupé so far? Thanks for the compliments, I'm happy so far with the look and functionality - it's not distracting when I'm driving and normally passengers don't notice there's a dashcam running just above their normal field of...

After getting the solid green light when my dashcam was powered direct from the car's USB socket, I decided to take it out and run some tests. Attached to one of my powerbanks the JooVuu X had no problem on 30 continuous power cycles, with no errors. i.e. One power cycle 1. Connect USB cable...

Hi, recently I'd installed my first dashcam too into a similar car (2017 S class saloon - W222). The lens angle is 155° and the whole bonnet is easily in view. I agree proof of staying within lane would need to be geometrical. Here's a test video at dusk - I've mostly solved the power...
