Almost, I think. The only one mine still gives is after a "parking incident " - it announces how many incidents have happened whilst car was parked.
Don't know how to stop that, other than turning parking mode off I suppose.
Thanks, that's the impression I got from the many YouTube reviews I have watched. I guess I can live with that. Don't know how to stop that, other than turning parking mode off I suppose.

Does that silence it completely?djdest said:
My mini2 came from Bedford in the link I gave earlier. It arrived in a couple of days.
Mine is hard wired into the fuse box, it's very straight forward and anyone who has fitted a headunit or understands very basic electronics could do it.
You simply connect the red wire to a permanent live and the black to earth

I'm looking to spend around £100 on a dash cam. After previously having some horrid thing from Groupon that broke in about 5 minutes, didn't work in the dark and had badly translated from Chinese instructions that bare no resemblance to how it is actually operated I'm prepared to spend more money on a 'known' brand.
Can anyone recommend something that won't break, has instructions in English, works in the dark and turns on automatically with the ignition?
Thanks Paul

Check the eBay link posted by CoolC above. Can anyone recommend something that won't break, has instructions in English, works in the dark and turns on automatically with the ignition?

I did have a look but after looking at some reviews they said the instructions were pretty bad and I was concerned about aftercare support as it's not a make I know.
I'm always a bit weary of eBay electronics from unknowns as I always regret the purchase and wish I'd spent the extra on a brand where I can get support if it goes wrong!

I bought the one listed as DDPai and a Samsung Evo 128GB card, they came earlier this week. Got it plugged into the computer, sorted a few settings and formatted the card when it came. Tonight I've fitted it in the car and had a little drive out to test it. First thoughts...
I definitely need the CPL filter, so I've just ordered one, the low sun in the evening affects the video a lot.
Happy that I can see registration plates of passing cars and little details like that (I've set it up with the 'blu ray' setting so its widescreen letterbox video.
I put the card in the computer when I got back, and the videos were there as 2 minute clips, 157.3 MB each. At first the video file names made no sense whatsoever
, but I can see now that it's time and date, so 20170407180229_118.mp4 is 2017, April 7th, 18:02. The 29 might be seconds, not sure on the 118.
Overall I'm happy so far

.Anyone here interested in either a Vantrue N2 (with memory card) for £100 or an Aguri Fusion (with memory card also) for £100 and £130 respectively?
Both of them only weeks old and boxed etc. Neither of them "fit" the Aston as well as I would like due to the way that the centre section of the screen is busy with a large section where the interior lights sit so they project too much ideally. Both obviously as new.

I've heard of some of the interference issues being down to the power adaptors rather than the camera its self. It may be worth trying an alternative one or routing the power lead in a different way.
I'm told it's because the rear camera is close to the radio antenna which is in the rear window? The car is a new BMW 540i - G30.Gassing Station | In-Car Electronics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
