Tested new dash cam and checked road conditions.

 

 

What kind did u get

Got the mini DVR 0801. 100 bucks 1080p. Cool features, got it from an awesome vendor- fonestop- on ebay. Helped me on the computer and over the phone to get me set up correctly. Going to do a product review soon...check out the review by techmoan on youtube, 21 minute video shows the different settings and the GPS player that comes with it. Actual video quality(not Youtube) is impressive for a tiny cheap camera. Can't see it behind my mirror...

Not yet, no garage. Sunday may see 40 degrees, probably then. Bought a cheap lighter socket for under dash, as the instructions say that the socket plug on the power supply converts voltage to 5v. Trying to decide on switched or constant power for the motion sensor, again, no garage. If constant will either go dual battery or http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blackvue-Power-Magic-Pro-Vehicle-Battery-Discharge-Prevention-for-Parking-Mode-/251373697600?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a870a3a40#ht_2857wt_981 not sure which. Did motion sensor one night and recorded about 6 vids with no noticable battery lag on start up at 10 degrees...

Here is the link to the youtube review. Pretty nice camera

 

Did you get the gps mount? Worth it?

Posted (edited)

Yeah, got the GPS mount, pretty cool tracking on google earth. Here's the link to the seller I got it from. I went that direction because of the 100% positive feedback and California shipper. Made an offer of $99.99 at 9PM CST on Friday night, offer accepted within minutes, email from Ebay at 7:22 the next morning showing item shipped, received Monday afternoon. Free shipping, fantastic customer service. Super nice guy, walked me through computer setup over the phone, as I'm old and stupid.

Hell I wish...

 

Anyway got a call on a house now just waiting on a move in date. Nothing special. 1250 sq ft 2 bedroom 1.5 bath with 2 car attached garage on 2.5 acres

Switched my instrument cluster backlights back to blue because the white hurt my eyes and I had one flickering. Luckily these gmt800's are so easy to tear stuff out that it only took 15 min. to get the bulbs back in

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
