Yes, but also a capacitor is probably more reliable.

What is the 'electronics flaw'? Does it affect certain years?

Default I have the same - works fine and was cheap & easy to set up

It fits in behind the passenger side of the rear view and does/has everything anyone could want for less than $120 (with the excection of REAR view, which in that case I'd go Blackvue).

I have this since one year now and it works fine, I purchased it online and was all ok and correct.

I don't like the Roav Wi-Fi is to slow to connect to download a video and after to copy info the iPhone
and also the function of speedometer g force and other are only on the smartphone you cant salve video with it

prefer another model like viofo for physical button and better video quality and for the sd slot that is important

because if you do accident the first thing you can remove sd from the cam easy
with roav is impossible because is on the top

Hello, i want to get a blackvue front and rear camera system.

i am told the front is no problem fits in great but i am told i can't do a rear camera because of my car being a convertible.

Anyone no how to mount a REAR blackvue camera on a convertible? am told the camera is not weather proof so it has to be mounted inside and obviously with top down won't work and would be in the way of top closing. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance. Mitchell

only thing I can think of is making a rear wind deflector out of lexan or polycarbonate (someone on here made one and posted pics on here somewhere) and mounting rear blackview on that

I had my BlackVue fitted by a professional installer. Despite his best efforts he wasn’t able to install the rear facing cam without fabricating a bracket and potentially needing to replace trim if I ever removed it and didn’t want any damage / markings left over. Decided to leave it and just stick with the forward facing cam.

from the dashcam mounted to the windshield, tuck the wires in under the headliner until you get to the door, then pull the weatherstripping rubber from the door and it exposes a track where numerous wires are probably already running in. Just tuck them in there and push the ruber back n place.

Can anyone help me out? I have the VIOFO129, dual camera system. For the parking mode to function, the power cable, running down the A Pillar needs 12V constant and 12V switched accessory, meaning it goes hot when the ignition is activated. Every fuse in the passenger compartment is 12V Constant. I cannot find anything on the Accessory side. Am I doing something wrong in testing with a test light?

You may find some of those constant live shut off after ten minutes or so once the locked car goes to sleep. Look up the fuses for the accessory power socket (cigarette lighter in old school). I thin those are the ones I used for my Blackvue Power Magic which also wants a switched and constant feed.

Get it hardwired with an additional 12v socket added, it can all be hidden including the wiring so you can just get in and go.
Do you mind telling me which fuse you used to hardwire it?

Default What about mounting on bulkhead between seats?

Sorry if I'm missed a reference, or perhaps I'm just full of it. Has anyone discussed mounting the camera on the bulkhead just aft of the seats?
