So I bought this model last year: https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00P8F3LD0
And recently, I've been having nothing but issues with it. Such issues include:
1. Not keeping the time and date when turned off
2. The built-in lamp turns on every time I start the car
3. The last file is always corrupted
4. The camera shuts off ASAP, no goodbye screen
The firmware on it currently is 2016.04.07C. I've tried flashing FW96650A.bin which supposedly fixes the time and date issue, but when I put the BIN file on a freshly wiped 32 GB card and put it in the camera, the camera refuses to turn on and flash the firmware. Cam turns on fine without the SD card and with another blank SD card though.
Any ideas on what to do next? I love the video quality and form factor, and I would hate to throw an otherwise perfectly working camera away over what seems to be software issues. I just might have to though, and I'm really not looking forward to use a cam where I'm forced to use an app just to set it up (like the B1W - call me a luddite or whatever but that's more hassle than convenient).
