I don't know if it's still the case, but that OEM windshield was on a 3+ month backorder when I had to replace mine earlier this year. There was only 1 dealer who had an open box OEM windshield with the wiper heater within the 3 surrounding states.
Safelite (and a lot of independent shops) will...
I have pretty much the same settings. But in today's latest test, I changed the parking motion detection to Low to test out the motion theory. But I'm getting mixed results. Here's the timeline:
5:03pm - parked on street, front cam facing street with constant cars passing. Parking mode did NOT...
I've verified the settings both on the app and the camera itself. It's set as I want it.
So interesting enough, I experimented and left it on Timed mode in my apartment's parking garage. Turned on the Dongar at about 2:15 pm. And sure enough, the parking mode activated and worked. I have...
When the truck is on, it’s a solid red. When the truck is off and the switch is in the middle position, it’ll blink red slowly. When it’s in the time position, it’ll blink green slowly.
I have it in auto-event detection, no parking timer, no delay. Event sensitive is medium, G-force sensitivity is medium.
I also have the option to turn off the recording led (just leaving the power led) so that I can tell when it’s in parking mode.
I’ve sat in the car for over 10-15 minutes...
I’m still having trouble getting the parking mode to activate consistently. It worked once or twice but now parking mode still isn’t activating. The dash cam is still recording continuously in regular mode instead of going into parking mode and only recording with there’s motion as I set it. Are...
Holy hell I can't believe this works. Great work on finding this solution. I got a generic Anker USB-C to USB-A adapter and used the short cable that came with the Viofo and it finally was able to activate parking mode.
I think this is something @Dongar can easily implement with a custom cable.
I got a pair of the Millercat MCX. They’re bolt on and more affordable than others. They’re pretty solid. Although the bolt hardware they provided was crappy. One of the bolts broke during install. Probably because I over tightened. Luckily I was able to remove it by hand.
I don't have a short 2-3 feet cable. It came with 2 super long ones that came with my A229 Pro. One long cable I used for the rear camera. The other long cable has been sitting in the box because I didn't need it since I used the short cable that came with the Dongar.
Got it! I'll give it a try and will report back. Where did you tuck the super long Viofo provided cable? I haven't tried but I can't image it'll fit in the cavity behind the rear view mirror.
Interesting. What's the specific USB C to USB A adapter that you used that's charging only (no data)? Not sure if I'm searching for the right thing but Amazon is only pulling up adapters that does data.
Wow I touched some nerves using privileged to describe some people. But it seems the boomer generation couldn't see my point. All I'm saying is the recent and upcoming generations will be facing the most economic, social, and political turbulence than ever. And if that $8 coffee or financing a...
I find the sad reality is that you had to work 20 hours a week as a 14 year old. I'm sorry you had to do that. I'm glad you made the equivalent of $15/hr back then, because the federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour now, and a lot people still only make that much. But I don't think future...
I personally avoid all these fake storefront aggregators. They make nothing, store nothing, and ship nothing personally. Sometimes they’ll slap their logo on things with stickers or have small merch. They probably get a small kickback from the original vendors. They’re just brand influencers...
lol the amount of grandstanding from those who didn't have to to finance their car is hilarious. As if that makes them a better or smarter person. If you're privileged enough to have no debt, at least recognize that's hardly possible now, compared to 1995. Cost of living is so high that the...
