Hi all,
I've been trying to install my 0906 using the supplied hardwire kit, and I'm having some troubles getting parking mode to activate. The kit I got only had one set of fuse taps, so I had to go out and buy another set myself. My car uses low profile mini fuses, and while I was able to find a tap that fits, I was only able to get a normal mini fuse (not low profile).
I've connected the red cable to a constant power fuse, black to ground, and yellow to one that's only powered when the car is on (I've tried both the cigarette lighter and sunroof fuses). The dashcam powers on when connected to the hardwiring kit, but doesn't automatically switch to parking mode when I turn the car off. I've checked the voltages on the fuses using a multimeter and they're all powered/not powered when they're supposed to be. The only way I can get parking mode to activate is if I manually pull the fuse to which the yellow wire is attached to.
Any ideas on what this might be? I was wondering if it was because I'm using a normal mini fuse, and not a low profile one, but I'm not sure if that's how it works. Does the fuse in the top slot have to be a certain amp fuse? The one included in the kit was 5A, but the only one I could get was 20A (currently using this for the ACC fuse tap).
Thanks in advance!
