Maybe i just didnt try hard enough haha. Or maybe i only tried from windows 7 on my desktop and only used the sd formatter program blackvue recomends on my surface pro.
I got my new camera installed saturday night. Its worked fine so far, the one issue ive had is when my car was parked out in the sun for 20-30 min i came back and it was shut off. Does the camera have a high temperature shut off? I unplugged it for a min and it started right back up and i blasted cold air from the front vents. Havent had the freezing problem yet tho.
Once you flash new firmware on it, do you need to continue to copy that file you download onto your card each time you format or will the camera from then on prepare your card with current firmware?
Once you have installed the latest firmware onto the camera you will not need to repeat the process, blank cards inserted from then on will have the latest firmware files on them from the cameras initializing process.
However, it appears your unit has some hardware issues. Please simply return the unit (you should not need to return all parts) to your regions distributor for a replacement.
If a customer of one of our re-sellers has any issues such as you described it is replaced.
