Hi folks,
Did my install a couple of weeks ago, all running as it should apart from front camera being out of focus. I had the choice to return the unit, but decided to adjust the focus myself as it's not difficult.
Car is a 2003 BMW X5 which has a nice amount of space in the overhead console to stash the PMP and all the cables, and permanent 12v and ground cables. Just had to add a small switch as I couldn't find a switched 12v line up there. All in all, a tidy and discrete install.
Firmware updated from 1.000 to 1.004 to 1.007
Added Lexar 64Gb UHS-1 card too, works very well.
Will post some pics of the install when I have a minute to take some, but below is a link to video files before and during focus tweaking. Made another small adjustment today to try and fine tune, will add video of that in the next couple of days:

Hopefully, these files will be useful for anyone considering the 650. I couldn't find any raw files while doing my own research ;-) Just download the Blackvue viewer and see what you think.
