Hi Millie,
Thanks for replying to a couple of my queries on here.
The most important issue I have is this one about the dashcam freezing.
So here is all that I have tried and should answer your questions above:
In your first paragraph, I had already tried all of that troubleshooting, no matter what I tried, the dashcam freezes.
It's a brand new genuine Nextbase 128gb card bought from Halfords on 30th March 2023. (Because my first initial thoughts lead me to believe it was a faulty SD card). I format my sd cards when prompted by the dashcam or I do it myself, via the dashcam method or on my laptop every couple of months, when I check that the SD card is indeed recording footage, this is just a safety and piece of mind check).
So, as I have got a 322gw in our second car, I took my 422gw and plugged it into this car and it worked as it should, this car is not hardwired and does not have a rear camera fitted.
So I then took the 422gw back to the original car in which I am having this issue. This car is hardwired (professionally) and does have a rear camera fitted.
I have now found out that the 422gw works as it should as long as the rear camera cable is NOT plugged into the dashcam. I even tried unplugging the rear camera cable at the rear camera end with the cable still plugged into the dashcam at the front and it still freezes, but when I unplug the rear camera cable from the dashcam completely, it works as it should.
So I have definitely narrowed it down to the cable that goes from the Dashcam to the rear camera....what I do not know, is it the cable or the rear camera or BOTH ?
I have no way of testing this as I do not have a spare rear camera and cable to try.
I do hope that this all makes sense and I hope you can advise what I should do next.
In the meantime, at least I can drive my car just using the front dashcam, which is better than nothing.
Thanks
Bobby
