I received my DR500 today and installed it in my car. I just want to use it when driving and I'd like to have it auto switch off when I shut the engine off. Looks like my Ford does not switch off the 12V outlet on the center console. My questions:
1. Auto Parking is switched OFF in the DR500 settings -- when my car is parked, should the DR500 auto shutdown even when the 12V power outlet does not shut down? In my case the blue GPS and the orange REC LEDs remain operating.
2. Auto Parking switched ON in the settings -- when car is parked the REC LED after c. 10min goes from orange to green (blue GPS goes off) and this indicates the parking mode. When I start the engine and drive, the green LED remains and it does not go back to normal recording (orange) with blue GPS on.
What is it that I am missing here or is it my car with the 12V socket not shutting off ?
Appreciate your comments. Thx. Dirk
