      This is taken from the Thinkware F200! It shows the firmware version (v1.01.02) followed by the current vehicle battery's voltage (14.3V). This speed is calculated by the plugged-in GPS.

    Nice video! However, if that's actually PVC I would strongly recommend against heating it as it will release toxic fumes. Looks more like acrylic, but that has similar issues when heated. Perhaps time to get some glassware for testing?

    My Thinkware U1000 is mounted onto the rearview mirror base/rain sensor/lane departure camera cover using stainless mini bolts and Nyloc nuts. As long as the car stays together, it’s not going anywhere. It was the perfect place as well…great centerline view and doesn’t block any vision. Rear camera does use the stock 3M adhesive mount but is much, much lighter and always in shade from the rear hatch trim.

    • @blackboxmycar

      I would recommend an external battery pack for the Thinkware multiplexer, as the camera system will draw a significant amount of power with so many cameras in one.

      Not really! Most dash cams draw around the same amount of power, so they can be wired to the same fuse. A fuse rated between 10-20A is recommended for a dash cam. For more info, check out our hardwiring guide here: ua-cam.com/video/8NMHENYSSzg/v-deo.html

      There's not too many differences! They offer the same features, with the key difference being that the OBD cable is plug and play, while the hardwire kit is more difficult to wire. The OBD cable normally costs more as it's not included, and can be a bit thicker too. We talk more about OBD cables here: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/what-is-an-iroad-obd-ii-power-cable

      The Thinkware Radar Module allows the camera to be drastically more energy efficient, lasting for 1-2 days of constant parking mode on average. You can read about the Radar Module here: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/what-is-thinkware-radar

    My car connects to apple car play automatically. I heard this can be problematic. Is this something where I have to turn off apple car play everytime i get into my car, connect the 970X, and then turn on carplay?

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 6 днів тому

      Ah, yes, this can be a problem, though there are workarounds. Basically, both your carplay and camera will operate as wifi signals, and the carplay may bully your phone off of the camera wifi. It does depend on your carplay, but most of the time it's the Bluetooth portion that performs this automatic connection, so when you need to connect to the camera, all you'll need to do is disable Bluetooth first. I can assure you that this won't need to be a regular thing when you enter/exit the car, you can just let your camera do its own thing, and only connect to the camera to view footage and change settings. We elaborate further on this issue here: www.blackboxmycar.com/pages/dash-cams-and-apple-carplay

    Dude what battery pack do you consider using with the camera system? And where will the battery pack be wired to on an 2021 BMW M235i? Cig. lighter fuse using a splitter? Will the rear and front cam be wired up to the power pack?

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 6 днів тому

      I recommend the PowerCell 8 battery pack, a reliable and high quality battery. The front and rear camera will be wired to this battery pack, and you can use the cigarette lighter fuse, as long as it has sufficient power for the battery pack, which normally needs 20A-30A worth of power. As for wiring into a BMW M235i, that should be relatively straightforward. If you can't fit the battery under your seats, you can put it in the glovebox, as we've done for this installation: ua-cam.com/video/K0IuGLGd-N8/v-deo.html

    I already returned the Viofo A229 Pro 4K, the app was terrible (1.8 stars right now and 4+ years old) and I couldn’t connect my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 8 днів тому

      Sorry to hear that you felt that way, the app can definitely take some adjusting to with a learning curve. Still, I can assure you it is compatible with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. If you decide to go with a different camera, feel free to call our support line to help walk you through the connection.

    Hi, curious about the A229 Plus. Can the 2CH simultaneously do front 2K 60 (HDR OFF) and rear 2K 30 (HDR ON)? My concern with buying a dash cam is having better framerate over resolution. Therefore, a 2K 60 would be better for me than a 4K 30 front camera.

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 8 днів тому

      Hi there! I can confirm that you can have the front camera set to 2k @60fps while the rear camera is set to 2k @ 30fps. However, the HDR is all or nothing so you'll need to have it on for both or neither. At least there's an auto-HDR setting, which will you can set to only enable HDR during certain set windows.

    • @Liquery
      @Liquery 8 днів тому

      @@blackboxmycar Appreciate your response! Was afraid the 2CH would lock me to 2K 30 both just for having front + rear run together. My initial plan was to get just a 1CH dash cam (A119 mini 2) so I could secure my 2K 60, as it's very important to me. As for the HDR, I wish they would just allow us to enable it on one camera out of the two, without affecting the other. Viofo should really take notes on that!

    Great video. Can you plug the cameras in a power bank instead of the car battery? Which is better in general, Plus or Pro? Thank you.

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 8 днів тому

      You certainly can plug the camera into a power bank instead of a car battery, we sell dash cam battery packs for that exact purpose. With that being said, using a standard USB battery often isn't ideal, since it can't tell the camera to go in and out of parking mode. As for whish is better in general, since the key difference is resolution, the A229 Plus is often better due to the lower price tag.

    What about a solution that includes an externally mounted rear camera? I own a van with no rear windows so I would like to mount a camera on the rear of my roof rack or somewhere else. Thanks!

      No worries, there are some externally mounted rear camera options! Take a look at the BlackVue DR770X-2CH Truck, or the Thinkware Multiplexer.

    May I ask if how long will a 64gb can record a 2k video, front and rear?

    • @blackboxmycar
      @blackboxmycar 8 днів тому

      That depends on other factors, like the specific bitrate. Using an average 2k bitrate of 25Mbps, that will get you almost 6 hours of footage. You can calculate recording time here: dashcamtalk.com/recording-time-calculator/
