So, after some b*&ching and complaining, refusing to accept their offer and some help form Blackboxmycar. I got the dash cam replaced. I have to say, times like this. is why I keep going back to Blackboxmycar every time I'm in the market for a new dash cam.

Lol, so CNN sells dash cams now.. must be good.

I wasn’t expecting them to replace the dash cam. But 90 bucks… lol. At least half. And to top it off, pointing me to that bogus website to purchase it.

So here is what I’ve been dealing with. Thread 'CPS extended warranty from blackboxmycar site.' https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/cps-extended-warranty-from-blackboxmycar-site.47620/

Has anyone bought and had to use the extended warranty that blackboxmycar sells in their site? The company is called CPS. https://app.cpscentral.com/about-us.aspx I have a U1000 2ch. That died on me. And this company is offering 90 dollars. Paid 50 for the warranty. So they’re actually...

So, my dash cam took a sh**. Did this losing settings 2 or 3 times in a few weeks time. And today it can’t even finish a sentence when is trying to tell me to connect to its wifi. Tried 2 different Thinkware cards, formatted on a laptop. Reseted cam to factory and nothing. Good I bought the...

Has anyone had the camera reseting to defaults by itself ? Had it for about one year with no issues. I usually turn the camera off when inside the garage. About a week ago, when the camera turned on, it gave me the message to connect to its WiFi. Kind of like when first installed. I checked...

That one looks good. Going to read up on what I’ll need. I’ll have to check what the hotspot takes exactly to get the right adapter. Thanks.

I think I finally found one. Check this out. https://exppropower.com/collections/all-products2/products/exp48pro

I was referring to regular Lithium power banks. I haven't even been able to find a decent size on a LiFePO4. other than the ones sold by the dash cam dealers/manufacturers. and those don't have the option of charging them on a wall outlet.

I did that for a while and it works out just fine. I just don't feel comfortable keeping them in the truck during the summer. I was actually hoping that some one had found a decent LiFePO4. but I've been looking for a long time. so is probably not out there yet.

I’ve been looking for a LiFePO4. But haven’t been able to find something in a decent size. And the Cellinks look nice. But I want something I can take out and charge in the garage outlet. I don’t drive much during the week. So hardwiring one is not an option.

So has anyone found a safe and efficient way to power a hotspot while parked? Dashcam is a Thinkware U1000 2 channel. I have a hotspot that I want to power for at least 12 hours. And in the summer the outside temperature can reach 110 with an average of probably around 90’s. Most summer days...

Well, almost a week and no issues so far.

Hopefully it won't mess up my working SanDisk 512GB Extreme. It's been working perfectly on 1.00.15 . I guess I'll soon find out. I upgraded today as I was leaving the office.

Anyone knows if there is a way to make the U1000 connect to iOS. Without having to open the settings and going into hotspot on the phone. Every time I get in the truck? Is all setup and everything works. Wifi, hotspot and cloud service. But if I don’t unlock the phone and go settings / hot...

I’ve been using this one. Since May/21. Not one problem so far.

Camping trip surprise. Slow-Mo of an owl grabbing a squirrel on the road.

A good reliable camera with all the features your looking for. Is going to cost you over 200 bucks. The two main ones out there are BlackVue and Thinkware. BlackVue has a friendlier cloud management app. But Thinkware has a slight advantage on reliability and video quality. I’ve had both. My...

Problem solved. Just had to re-add the phone as a new hotspot. So all back no norm. But curious why it reseted itself.
