Hi All, been using this for 2 weeks now.
The parking mode as tested works well and I got voice prompted when switch on car of there is new video for parking mode. (tested with high sensitivity G sensor). Bought it from Lazada around RM 249, the video downloaded can easily be play with sound inside video which Mai 70 video can't hear anything after downloaded.

how does the parking mode works? where does it draws power from?
isnt the ciggie lighter charger turn off when we take out the key?
*
70mai Pro already spare some power inside the battery when you shut off your engine. The parking mode will start to monitor after 20 minutes and will capture 1 minute of video when detected any shock. Ive tested it, but not sure if the dashcam can hold 24hours parking mode without power module

is the gps module worth to buy?
*
if your car dont have ADAS like new Myvi : close proximity alert, car departure alert than it worth to buy. RM 69 for alerting ourselves wont be expensive.

i bought a chinese version on 11street

now im thinking of getting the gps module since its only addon around rm60 on lazada

do u think the gps module works in malaysia?
does the gps module has english or chinese version like the dashcam itself or gps module compatible for any version?
*
1. GPS module work for ADAS only and working in Malaysia.
2. Compatible with Chinese and English version
3. Dog watch(i cant recall the name) only for China to detect speed radar area. Will not work in Malaysia

but bro, the adas accurate or not? becus i read some reviews from buyers in Taobao, they said the adas is almost useless due to the inaccurate warning...most of the time it wont warn u
*
No idea Bro. Maybe those who bought the ADAS can enlighten us.

I don't know if the ADAS can assist when this happen. Anyway the camera didn't detect any collision when the car hit the dog.

After i stick the mount of camera on windscreen, is it possible to take it off? Because it put it wrongly and it not center.. It slightly "senget" when i stick the mount... Please advise
*
It came with 2 pcs plastic right? The plastic can be remove and replace a new one. If you used both, then you can buy any phone screen protector and place at windscreen before stick your dashcam.
If you place the dashcam directly to your windscreen, then you need to cut the glue with pen knife. Worst thing if you have tinted on your windscreen... Then maybe somebody else can advise

ok so i bought the gps module few weeks ago at very cheap price compared to now on lazada...hmmm actually the ADAS function is decent compared to XiaoYi dash cam's ADAS, mostly 80-90% accurate for front collision warning, moving away from the lane, and front vehicle start moving...E-dog is not usable in malaysia at the moment, not sure will update in the future or not...for me, i got it at around RM50, kinda worth for ADAS imo
*
Hi, already purchase 1 but not under promotion. RM 69 I think. Can you share how does the ADAS work? Is it beeping or voice warning? If you can share a video, it will be great. Maybe I can see some tips how to arrange the dashcam so the ADAS will work

Did you plug in the USB to correct car charger? When I bought this I used the phone charger to test and it beep, got some Chinese sound and restarted. After I plug in the car charger then it work normally

I think he meant are you using the original charger that came with the 70mai Pro? Can try with that charger and see.
*
Yes, please try using the original charger that came with the dashcam. If not mistaken 1 slot colour is red (or blue) for the dashcam usb

Ya, most probably. That was the same USB port that I used for Yi Dashcam. Well, I guess Yi doesn't need a high power input. One more question, does any of you experience the app to be in a hung state every now and then? I am on Android, and the 70mai app is already on the latest version. Anyone can shed some lights on this?
*
I'm still using the Version 1.1.7.
After update to latest version, the app can't find the dashcam.

Guys.. May i know if there will be speed displayed if we attach the gps module? Might getting one if it does that. Thanks

I don't think there is. I also thought it will have GPS coordinate and speed displayed, but I don't see it in the dashcam except ADAS usual prompt. BUT I haven't tried to download any video yet, so can't confirm it

Thank you for the guide. Successfully installed the English version. The interface for dashcam changed to English, voice is in English and dashcam can accept instruction in English too! e.g. Take phote and record video (any other voice instructions?).
What I did was:
1. Download the English firmware
Thank you ttleng for the link

https://mega.nz/#!jcBhAYZI!XlYL4o9a...j7IOjcnTY9FtJjM

2. Extract to phone or PC. Extract the zip file. Take note the file needed is "UPDATE" file and not the full name file
3. Format the memory card using dashcam interface or apps
4. Shutdown the dashcam. Hold the long button at below
5. Using the memory card reader, copy "update" file directly into memory card root (don't put into any folder)
6. Place back memory card into dashcam and power on using the most right button + long below button. Release the long button once the dashcam start and release right button once the dashcam start updating the new file
7. The dashcam will change to English afterwards.
