A129 Duo Installation help (2012 Mazda 3)

[havoc_knight]

I am trying to hardwire with the HK3ACC kit, and chose Fuse 10 (hazard light) for red wire and Fuse 14 (cigar) for the ACC yellow wire.

However, the dashcam does not go into parking mode. It keeps recording in the driving mode for a few minutes after removing the keys, then the light on the hardwire kit turns off along with the camera. When I insert the key and switch to ACC, the camera turns on and starts recording in driving mode.

The firmware is 2.1, and parking mode is active with 3 fps recording.

Does anyone know what is wrong here?

Probably reaching the low voltage cutoff setting. Does it stay no for 90 seconds? 90 seconds is the delay between when the 3-wire kit senses voltage below the cutoff and when is cuts power to the camera. You may need to lower the cutoff.

Do you have a multimeter or anything you can monitor the voltages with? If so monitor the voltage on fuse 10 when you turn off make sure it stays at 12V even when the camera drops out and monitor fuse 14 to see what that does when turning the ignition off and the camera drops out

The issue was indeed the low voltage. Thank you everyone for the help!!!
