Thank you!

Yes, Sweden is a typical example of European democracy:I think Sweden also drove on the wrong side not too long ago ?
In 1955, the Swedish government held a referendum on the introduction of right-hand driving. Although no less than 82.9% voted “no” to the plebiscite, the Swedish parliament passed a law on the conversion to right-hand driving in 1963.
That would be Japan, as about the only country without British links that has never decided to swap to the right.Only some that are odd in the sense they have never been occupied by the British, but still for some reason decided on driving on the "wrong" side.
"Up till the 1930s Spain lacked national traffic regulations. Some parts of the country drove on the right (e.g. Barcelona) and other parts drove on the left (e.g. Madrid)."The cars are so ugly with the steering wheel on the right side
Spanish cars are so ugly with the exhaust pipe on the left
With Ford, I think it depends on if the car was designed in UK, or Germany, or Japan (Mazda). UK and Japan put the steering wheel and exhaust on the right and the fuel filler on the left, while Germany will design it with the fuel filler on the right and the exhaust on the left! Don't think Ford design much in Spain?This is random,depends on the engine,for example I drive a 2018 Ford Focus ST Line with the exhaust pipe on the left and is not a Spanish car,there are Ford Focus cars same year different engine and the pipe is on the right side..I can't see them,so wrong..
Mine is made in Koln Germany.There is a huge Ford factory in Valencia,Spain but the Focus are made in Germany now.In Spain they are making S-Max,C-Max,I think the Mondeo too and some vans..Some petrol Focus have the exhaust pipe on the right and the filler is on the right too,all of them have the filler on the right side..With Ford, I think it depends on if the car was designed in UK, or Germany, or Japan (Mazda).

Try putting the card back in the camera and plugging the camera into the computer via USB...Just tried to pull the footage from yesterday's commute and there isn't anything on the memory card...Not even footage from Wednesday (which I was able to view on my computer Wednesday evening). Any ideas on what would have completely reset the memory card? I properly ejected it from my computer - are there special instructions for ejecting from the dash cam?
Still not showing any files. Using a Samsung Evo Select 128 GB card.Try putting the card back in the camera and plugging the camera into the computer via USB...
Seems unlikely, what sort of computer are you using?Still not showing any files. Using a Samsung Evo Select 128 GB card.
Seems unlikely, what sort of computer are you using?
And can you try it in another computer?
Or can you connect using the wifi and app and see any videos on the playback screen?
Tried pulling the video in 2 different laptops - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air. Still nothing.
Can you copy a file onto the card while it is in the camera?
And what happens if you put a different card in, just in case it is the card at fault.
I don't have another card available at the moment. Maybe this evening.
Also, I guess you have the camera for high temperature testing, so what was the temperature during your test?
It was a cooler day yesterday. Only a high of 85F/29C.
Just so that we know for sure, is it a U1 or a U3 card? (I would expect them both to work OK.)
U3 card.
Note: I currently have no idea what the issue is, not something I've encountered before, and I don't know how much you know about computers or dashcams, so I'm trying to ask all the silly questions just in case they are useful!
I ran the app on Wednesday, but not yesterday. No folders on the memory card - completely blank. I will be going for a shorter drive this evening so I can test it then. Not ideal testing weather today as a storm rolled through, but a test nonetheless.Only explanation I can think of is that you accidently formatted the card!
Have you run the app at all? Maybe the app formatted it unintentionally...
I've never known any of Viofo's cams completely wipe a card without being told to do so.
Note that you should format the card in the camera before first use, if you haven't done so then I suggest you do before trying again. Maybe wise even if you have since something appears to be messed up.
Some people recommend formatting the card in the camera after every time you put it in an Apple computer since they are known to mess things up a bit!
Did it have any folders on the card, or was it completely blank?
That's a possibility - it looked like the camera had powered down though. Could that wipe the entire memory card clean?Maybe you didn't wait enough for the camera to shutdown when you extracted the memory card..
Don't think so, if you don't stop recording then the last file, or pair of files, normally gets corrupted, but that is all that goes wrong.That's a possibility - it looked like the camera had powered down though. Could that wipe the entire memory card clean?
On Novatek cameras you just need to stop recording, no need to remove power. Some of them will detect the new card and reset, others will just accept the new card.you need to turn off the dashcam to insert or pull out the memory card, if you dont do that it can cause problems for the memory card itself, the camera should be fine with this " hot pluggin" of the memory card.
