Do you specifically refer to your customers who owns Sienna, or everybody?@HETPE3B a lot of our customers have placed their cellink under the seats on the front row, take a look as there should be plenty of room.

P.S. Cellink bought from you guys, delivered today![]()
That's awesome! Thanks for choosing us!
I was referring to customers that had Siennas. Some model and some trims had seat bases that were lower so it may or may not fit but from what we've seen it should.

It certainly is but for some, they have a lot of items already in the glove box.Is the glove compartment not an option??
Glove compartment surprisingly is not so spacious. It barely fits all the manuals from the car.
It looks to me, that behind the carpet is a perfect spot. It’s not deep, so the power switch is somewhat easily accessible even without device removal.
Got 2 questions:
- is the switch designed for a heavy use? I park my car in a garage overnight, so I don’t need the camera during the night. Is it ok to turn on/off everyday?
- when the switch is in OFF position- does it still pass through the power to the camera or it does turn off both battery and a pass through?
According to the blackboxmycar website, the off switch is for situations where someone does not want to use parking mode. I would interpret that to mean the camera will not have any power when the ignition is off, but once you turn the ignition on the power will pass through and power up the camera. Basically, the off switch acts like the battery pack isn't there and the dashcam is plugged directly into an ACC cig lighter is my understanding.Glove compartment surprisingly is not so spacious.

My concern is the BlackVue dashcams use motion detection to determine when the vehicle has been stationary for 5 minutes to activate the parking mode. Does that mean the exterior GPS is required for this feature? All other dash cams use a voltage sensor (with 3-wire cable) to detect when you turn the car off to activate the parking mode.
With a BlackVue, what if an accident happens and you leave the car running to continue to record what is happening afterwards? Does the dashcam stop recording because the car has been stationary longer than 5 minutes and there is no new motion or impact detection? You would potentially miss some incriminating video evidence I would think.
The BlackVue dashcams parking mode feature is activated after the camera "detects that the vehicle is stationary for five minutes." BlackVue dashcams do not decipher when the vehicle is on or off (detect voltage) like the other dashcams do to activate parking mode.The camera is in "normal" drive mode when you turn off the car...after 5 minutes it goes into "parking" mode.
That's a bummer. So if you turn the Cellink switch off because your vehicle is going to be parked in your garage for a couple of days, get back in it to go somewhere and forget to flip the switch back on, the dashcam will not be recording.As it turns out this is not the case. When the battery pack switch is OFF - it completely turns off the camera too. The camera will NOT act as it is simply plug in to ACC outlet. I did test it.

Exactly. And based on my tactile feel for that switch - it is not like "heavy duty" one for everyday use. It's more like "to switch and forget" type of thing.

I guess you answered your own question about pass through, and mine too! Thanks.
