I properly hard wired it into the fuse box behind the glove box.
Don't recall cutting any plugs off.

No issues with it so no regrets.

Smart thingy doesn't always work. Hadn't driven my FL2 for a week, went out Monday evening to be presented with a click and a low voltage warning and it didn't even try to turn over.

But the power lead has a cig plug on the end? You must have either cut that off or plugged it into a hidden, hardwired cig-socket?

Yours must be quite off-centre then? Is that an issue?

Don't make me watch that clip again!

should have added i use the powersave also, so have it set to turn off after a 48hr period, but also 18.8v 11.8v and i think my battery is duff as its often off the next morning or as soon as i open the car up

18.8v? That's a big battery

I really want to sus this power business because one of the reasons I got the Blackvue instead of one of the considerably cheaper dashcams was the ability to use the Park Mode simply and reliably. I want to catch the next little who keys my car or leaves an abusive note on my windscreen (job related - long story).

i don't think you will have a issue, my problems caused by driving half a mile to work and back, so the battery doesn't get time to charge, when i do long trips its on all day and all night without issue

Thanks. My commute is only three miles so I'll have to see, I guess. The Smartpower thingy that came with mine (it's not a Powermagic and has no timer) has two settings - one is 12.3 and the other 11.8 (from memory) so I'll have a play around. All I know is that SWMBO will not be impressed if any new toys cause her grief!

Nice of them to let her out, shame she didn't check it was clear



I think I speed up the video somehow during editing

Looks like there was a brief acknowledgement of their error at 11:23:04. What really p****s me off is when you get the finger despite it being their fault.

Ah yes, the Finger, a Nissan Micra pulled out in front of me today, noticed the near side rear was completely flat, tried to attract her attention by use of the Headlights, after half mile of 25 to 30mph she indicated right, came to a stop, I went up the inside, stopped just past her passenger door so she could see me through her windscreen, indicated to her that she had a flat, she just gave me the Finger

The person in the passenger seat was rubbernecking and mouthing off all the way up the traffic lights further down the road

One from today
