any tips on running the wires in the G05 front to back? i.e., how you did it, any tools you used, etc?

Also, sometimes it asks me to join the camera WiFi and I click on that and it connects and immediately disconnects- could it be because I have carplay connected? Lastly, the guy who installed it said he has installed a ton of Blackvue camera's and he has never seen a non Blackvue SD card work on them. I bought the exact one you recommended so is there Something j need to do to get it working? |

Skip all the Cloud things. You should be able to easily connect via WI-FI with no issues at all. The password is on the camera, which you can later change, of course. If this guy has installed so many Blackvue cameras, how come he didn't show you how to get connected, etc? |

Also, where do I enter the camera WiFi password? It has never asked me to enter the WiFi password so I am confused. You did not have to format the sd card or do anything with the card prior to inserting it in the camera, correct? I am with you on the insane mark up by Blackvue on their sd cards!!! Thanks again man |

Dashcam recommendations
Ok so I figured out the sd card problem and it just needed to be formatted using the camera WiFi button itself instead of using a computer or the app. The card works fine now.
I also figured out that I cannot have carplay connected and view the camera at the same time so each time I want to view any recording on the camera or live view I have to disconnect carplay and then only the app connects to the camera WiFi. Anyone knows a way to not have to disconnect Apple CarPlay and still be able to view the camera recordings/live view? Also, how do I enable recording in parking mode? By default it turns off the parking mode recording in about 10 minutes. I have the battery pack but don't know how to enable the parking mode recording when I want it to record until I am back. |

Based on this thread I think I'll be going with the BV900x+ but I think I"m also gonna get:
* The LTE module - i wanna know right away if something happens so I can notify local security, especially if the car is parked in, say, an airport or hotel parking ramp for a few nights. Also might be nice for service visits * The BBMC powercell 8 battery - you can also add on a celllink neo battery which you can charge in your house and attach to the powercell when needed ... though I'm wondering if 2 powercell 8s are better ...not sure if that works ... the batteries charge faster if hardwired, but I do like the non-hardwire option ... and it's not like it's easier to change later ... since this is a new vehicle, I think I'll wait on the hardwire just in case of any warranty issues for the first 6-12 months. * The BV SD cards - yup, they're spendy, but Vortex has had some recent problems with non BV cards ... most people don't seem to have that problem but it might skip some hassle so I might go for the BV card Anyway, thanks to everyone who's contributing to this thread! 24:14 for the memory card thing: This cop has a bland style, but some good info as well:

One thing for sure…
Black vue that are sold in US is not even available or really old unit which had so many problems with lens… and one that used to sell $200 for $400 in US?? Most BMW in Korea don't use blackvue……. Especially if you park under direct sunlight often. It gets overheated themselves and shuts off I recommend thinkware… u1000 is same as qxd5000 and they are good. Plus price are much reasonable.. For backup battery, they are outrageously priced… if you really need to record 24/7 get it if not you don't need… U1000 has function when your car voltage drops in certain level it will shut off… |

I just ordered the non plus model because they were able to deliver it net day. my 21' x5 m50i spent 5 days on the street and already someone scuffed my rear bumper.
My main reason for buying is for park mode. Car sits on street parked for week at a time. it seems like the battery pack won't do it for me as its not a car I drive much. Hard wiring into car seems like my best option. Can't imagine these cameras would drain a new battery. Any thoughts? Also any idea how long a 256 gb sd card would record and store in parked mode? |

The only other way to access it is via the memory card in your computer or if you get the LTE module. |

Need help on which is the best/safe fuse for fuse tap?.
Quote:
Here's what I've seen other members on this forum used for the fuse tap. I'm also attaching a screen print of the fuse map which is what I used to interpret what the fuse number is allocated for. F76 ACC F46 Cigarette lighter F72 Not used? (Is this one not used? Couldn't find F72 in the table of the fuse map) F27 nfc, ? (Not really sure what the symbol means from the fuse map) F53 seat? So my primary option is really using F72 if it's really not being used and it's not constant ON. My second option is using F46 if it's the front cigarette lighter which I believe it's only on when the car is turned on. The last option is the ACC which is auxiliary power. Thanks in advance!!

helpful thread here. If I hardwire to battery or use a OBDII connector and I just start the car for a few mins each day it should charge battery in minutes I would think. My main purpose for these cameras is for parking mode. I like the idea of using the battery packs but it seems like it takes a long time to charge them back up. Thoughts?
I also won't have them hooked up to wifi so will use the sd card and if I see something has been hit on the car I will pull the sd card and look through. |

I use parking mode a lot. If you want to get an extra charge while your car is still parked, start ventilation remotely. I think it runs for 15 min and that will charge the battery in the meantime. |
