WDR is a double edge sword feature. On some condition, it's providing too much contrast or over-brightness of your recording.

Hence you may need to evaluate and review the recording a few times to suit your taste. For my case I leave it on, since I'm happy with the results recorded since Day 1 purchase.

My G-sensor is on low due to pot holes / bumpers / uneven roads in Klang Valley area. (I know right?) Wouldn't want too many false alarm recording and beepings......

Boot delay - 0 seconds.

My A129 setting is default on g-sensor. Why your car so bumpy ?conti car use stiffer absorber kot 😀

I tried using default medium but sometimes pot holes itself trigger it. So I just leave it low.

As long as the G-sensor is on. Haha

Dear blurjoey, Keatsan and KIntos,

Thanks for all your replies and advice!

One more question... If my loop recording is 3 min, when i press the Emergency Recording button, the recording will be locked 3 min only or will continue to lock until i press it again to unlock it? Do i need to unlock it?

It will put the current 3 min file in the emergency folder

Very weird. I thought only Korean dashcam was sensitive even at low sensitivity.

Ok thanks!

Perhaps the body of my vehicle transfer the vibration all the way to it's dashcam G-sensor.

Haha

Maybe your A129 is a Korean dashcam in disguise

Hi all,

Just got my A129 (bought with hardwire kit) to replace my A119 in May but just managed to install it a couple weeks back. Talked to my serrvice center guys, they said fuse-tapping will void warranty, so not sure if I should continue hardwiring it. a friend suggested using portable battery instead but with our heat I don't think that's a good idea.

So, my question is:
A) does your car's warranty void if you hardwire it, even using fusetaps?
B) any alternative suggestion for parking mode other than hardwire?

Perhaps it had some Korean DNA in it.

Technically fuse tapping will void the car warranty upon on SC standards. It's a gray line area.

A - yes it does but most car manufacturer. But I'm not sure on BMW since they have their OEM dashcam installed as optional.
B - powerbank but you've gotta be hardworking to remind yourself on charging / replacing it from time to time.

1) Yes, all car manufacturers say the same thing. By right, fuse tapping is just piggyback on the fuse slot and won't burn the ECU as some SC claims. Fuse taps have own fuse.
2) A battery pack that uses lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO 4 battery) not lithium ion but not cheap. About rm1k+ for the battery pack which is charged by the ciggie port.

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

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

Wait, they seriously cut it ? Holy smoke.

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

I heard only la... But their dashcam is fugly big...

Their dash cam is something similar to iRoad designs...

It's a made in China Korean brand

Is there a way to switch off the screen while recording?
