Hi all,
I recently switched vehicles, and have been having issues with my dashcam (Owlcam 4). When left in parking mode, it seems as if the vehicle stops power to the OBD2 port, through which the cam is wired. I have to go through a good bit of reconnection pain to get things working again. It's been frustrating to the point that I've just left it unplugged.
Former car was a 2017 Lincoln MKZ, and the new car is a 2019 Mercedes A220.
Does anyone know if this is a specific Mercedes problem, an Owlcam problem, or a Mercedes-and-Owlcam problem? I addressed the issue with my local dealership during some scheduled maintenance and they did not know of any reasons that a dashcam wouldn't work. In the meantime, I'm in the market for a new camera (posted in What Should I Buy thread).
Thanks for any info!
Chris
