I heard that the installer for the BMW dashcam will cut the wires to install not fuse tap sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Actually, now warranty will void according to them, not because everything connects to ecu, its because it is not sold by them. laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Wait, they seriously cut it ? Holy smoke.

So those BMW dashcam purchased automatically voids their car warranty? Mindblownnnnnn

Can't wait for the A129 Buffered Parking mode to be introduced in the upcoming firmware. Currently still on BETA firmware 1.8
Looks promising from the DCT forums. More and more people testing it.

I'm tempted to try the 1.8 Beta Duo firmware. But still buggy at times. Hence holding back and use motion detection for now. sweat.gif

I just noticed that my car with start stop engine feature, the dash cam will enter parking mode when the engine shuts itself. Then when the engine is back up running, it will revert back to normal recording.

I'm not sure if i did the hardwire kit correctly or not.

Sorry I think I meant the during driving. When my engine stops in traffic dashcam switch to motion mode instead of continuous running normal recording mode.

Perhaps I should find another fuse slot, maybe cigarette lighter spot.

That's because of the start-stop function causing it. Your car too high tech d laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Actually been bugging me for quite some time. If during traffic and it happens often, I can imagine the A129 keep switching motion to normal recording and vice versa all the time. Lol
