Hi,
I've been having the SGGCX2PRO for about half a year and just recently found something odd.
I drive Toyota Funcargo, and sometimes the dashcam does not boot up.
This is a sequence of events:
1. I turn the key to the ON position: the dashboard lights up, car stereo lights up, the dashcam power diod lights up
2. A couple seconds later I turn the key to the `START` position, engine is being started here. At this point both stereo and dashcam lose the power for a several hundreds of milliseconds. (I think it's normal for most old cars, or all cars at all)
3. Now the engine runs. Car stereo gets back, but the dashcam does not.
It happens in about 25% of cases.
Dashcam is connected using the default cigarette lighter power supply. When it happens - the red diod on the power supply itself is lighint, as if everything is good with power source. I don't see any problem with connection: both `power supply - car` and `power supply -dashcam` connections are firm and light readjustments of either don't change anything.
I've tried to wait, but even after 10 minutes the dashcam does not get boot. What I do in such cases is pull the power supply connector from the cigarette lighter socket and put it back.
I'm not sure whether it was like that from the beginning or started just recently.
Is it a known fault or my unit became faulty?
The unit was purchased brand new from amazon in November 2019.
As you may imagine it's a bit inconvenient: I need to check if it's running every time I start the car and during the ride :-(
Thanks.
