I just purchased the DVR 027. Took it out on a test drive and I'm overall happy with its quality. One HUGE problem. With the power connected, I get so much interference that I hear nothing but static on the radio.
Once I unplug the power, the radio works fine.
Question: Does anyone have an recommendation on which power cord (12v to 5v converter) to buy? I want to replace the OEM converter.
Another question.
I think I want to hardwire the dashcam. Much cleaner this way. What is the best way of doing this?
Have you guys ever tried one of these "add a circuit" things? http://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-FHA200 ... pg__header
This seems to be the easiest way. Turn two circuits into one?
I'm assuming I'll just have to:
1. open the fuse box in the car.
2. Look to see where the cigarette socket fuse is.
3. Pull it out.
4. Insert that add a circuit thing in there
5. Put two fuses in (one for the cigarette socket and one for the new device)
6. Cut off the cigarette lighter wire that came with the dash cam
7. Connect the positive end into the add a circuit thing
8. Connect the ground wire somewhere in the car???
9. Tuck away all wires.
Is there a better/easier way to hardwire?
