Hi all,

Just purchased a Mini 0803 with no GPS and no internal memory. Also purchased an additional non GPS mount as a spare.

The camera works great if I plug the USB power into the camera, but the camera will not power on if the USB power is plugged into the mount with the camera attached to the mount. This happens with both mounts.

Is this normal? I'm thinking maybe you can only power the camera via the mount when you have the GPS option.

TIA

Greg
 
No, it's not normal, you should be able to power the camera via the mount.

I've seen this problem mentioned several times recently, and a solution:
SOLUTION :
*** Just do this once ***
1/Separate 0803 and GPS module
2/ Plug the USB cable into GPS base
3/ Turn OFF the 0803
4/ Insert the cam into GPS base, it will automatically turn ON
5/ Turn OFF 0803 by pressing Power button

Ignore that it says GPS. Not sure if that will actually work, seems unlikely but let us know...
 
is there a difference between powering dashcam by GPS mount or by directly connection to 0803 itself? will GPS work if I power the camera by direct connection?
