Hi all
Got a 312 for Christmas and bought a genuine nextbase HW kit to go with it,
Wired into fuse board into the 12v cigarette lighter feed and earthed close by the fuse box.
Everything worked as it should until last week when I noticed the 312 was turned off during a journey....
So I figured out when I unlock the car to get in,the nextbase is being charged,when I press the start button,the 12v socket feed cuts for a second and then powers back up,however this is when the HW kit stops charging the unit and doesn’t charge it again until I turn on the dash cam again,(as it shuts off like it should with no charge feed)
Contacted nextbase and they told me to check connections and earth and if fault continues try the supplied charger into the cigarette lighter.
Works fine on that,so it’s a faulty HW kit.....
Strange one as it worked fine for 4 weeks.
