Just received a new 0806 with 20150504 v1. What is that? I could not find it and any description for it. Not sure if i can upgrade to anything else.
Did anybody faced with that fw?
 
Maybe its a version that was never released into the 'wild'.

You should be able to upgrade (or indeed downgrade) to any firmware for the 0806.

This is May-4 FW, what is the latest one? The one for test purpose? May-12

It will be based on the March version, maybe just with different logo if not with extra language.

There is not much changed since the March version, you could try this: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/0806firmware-150323-dct-custom-bitrate-version.11232/

I have English menu running, but in Languages i see two: Eng & Russian. So means this is March version with modification for Russian language?
Btw, the link you provided, so was 24mb/s rate tested on hot weather on real conditions? I've migrated from 0803 which i believe dead just because overheating...

That would make sense.

Yes, several people have been using it for over a month now, it is less than 1 degree C warmer than standard, still a lot cooler than the 0803.
 
Thanks a lot, i will upgrade version on the next week. I would get some experience first on the stock firmware. Thanks a lot for clarification!
 
FW & cam are tailored for UK/German summer conditions... If I remember well the tests were run with official march FW on several recording and charging units placed in an oven at 60°c... One SD card melt a bit and one LCD temporarily shut off but no cam crashed nor melt !

BTW Your battery or lens focus would certainly be the first to suffer at this temp...
So Unless you live in a really sunny country you should simply avoid letting the cam under direct sunlight.

Look for Ragman's thread on 4th batch if you want more information on the test ;-)
