Sumo Hammy! Senior Member 6,040 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Cheras, Kuala Lumpur	Testing rear view mirror mount with the D201... The mount feels abit loose though... See if can mod a bit or not... With the rear view mirror mount, I can finally use 3 meter mini USB I bought to connect to the Aukey USB car charger to power my D201 as the original mount is blocking the mini USB port on the D201. So I can use less power sockets...

Most have "upgraded" to iRoad V7 or V9... Heard those using V7 complaining night video is lousy and 720p only... Still waiting for those V9 users as it's using Sony Exmor sensor at 1080p...

Getting Started Junior Member 187 posts Joined: May 2009	My old EH63 changed battery 3time in 3years. Normally I'll change it once it goes bloated. Never take any risk, li-po batt is cheap. I buy dozen on it and charge to safe mode and store it at freezer with li-po storage case. 24/7 365day mounted. And mine is running with parkin g mode with 2hour shut down delay setting.

I think mine have russian and other European language option. I got the old player v1.114 and it's crap. Email Dome for latest version and got it. I keep forgetting to take my MicroSD card from the D201. Hopefully I'll remember tonight.

Sigh.....the night video also a bit grainy too By the way the firmware that came with my unit is 2318W do you think I should download a newer version?

It used to blink blue and magenta but now it blink red Sorry for the late reply. Red led if not mistaken is when the battery if fully charged. Have you flashed v2771 (this for dab205 and d201 can use) or v2534? If want higher bitrate, someone have made custom firmware with high bitrate. High bitrates means more video quality. You can give it a try and see.

You can give it a try and see. Flashed v2534_v4 bitrate version. I don't see image quality differences between the FWs but big increased in bitrate. Anyway, I had a SanDisk Ultra (yes Ultra) in the unit and to my surprise it was recording fine without Low-Speed-Card message even with the higher bitrate. These are the info with v2318 These are the info with v2534_v4 bitrate

I used the high bitrate firmware for awhile then I reverted back to the original... LOL!

Higher bitrate does have better video quality... Experienced it before with other dashcams before and after new firmware updates which fixes the video quality and ups the bitrates.

Yeah it should be but for Dome D201 it doesn't seems like there is improvement at least naked eyes don't see the improvement. Side topic here I also happen to have a Blaupunkt BP3.0 dashcam and the video/image quality is not good. Do you happen to know how can I improve the quality or where can I obtain latest FW to improve it?

Blaupunkt website is worse than Shenzhen Dome website. They don't have contact at all and don't even have page about the dashcam too. They have contact for other products but not dashcam. I contacted them they said they are not from Blaupunkt but an out source for Blaupunkt and they have no idea how to contact Blaupunkt regarding dashcam. I even wrote to Blaupunkt's CEO but still no respond after more than a month.
