Just seeing what everyone is running and personal reviews. I'm looking at getting the blackvue. I would like to hardwire it in but would need it to have constant power. I want a camera that will turn on when I start driving and turn off when not in use but have an impact sensor that will turn the camera on if someone hits the truck while in a parking lot. Any suggestions?

I've been looking to do the same. Been doing some research but cant seem to make a decision.

I bought the Ojocam and it's a really great product for the price. Completely satisfied with the camera itself.

However, I am having mounting issues! The only mount available has an angle built in to match the curve of the windshield. My problem is I have the lane depart system behind my rear view mirror which is flat/level, so sticking the camera to it results in it being crooked. I tried to stick it to glass below lane depart box but it's just too noticeable / in my line of sight. I can't stick it left or right of lane depart box b/c of aftermarket tint.

Someone had a pic with the JAEWONCNC IROAD behind their mirro and it looked great. Youtube videos showing recordings look very clear. They are on eBay and Amazon.

I just bought a Blackvue today and installed it right away.

Didn't hotwire it though. Just the plug into the lighter.

And you want to have it running even if you're not driving. That way the cam will catch someone hitting your car while trying to park.

The cam will switch to the so called 'parking mode' automatically.

 

I don't know where you live in Canada but here are two links to check out for you.

The first one is an online shop in Vancouver, BC.

The second one is a shop in Burnaby, BC. So you can actually walk in and talk to a real person... :) .

 

so long

GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition, quick connect/disconnected mounted on inside of windshield beneath r-v mirror, wi-fi connected with both camera remote control and/or using IPAD control. Power is hardwired through mini-usb to map light power feed wire (discrete wiring, hardly visible).

 

Can take frame by frame stills or video, in box or pano mode at anytime desired provided a passenger is controlling the camera using either ( I do not attempt to operate it while driving the vehicle) The wi-fi feature also allows instant viewing from the IPAD which is a stellar feature. I also purchased the widescreen viewfinder that permits a somewhat easy view from the back of it as to what the camera is seeing.

 

Generally, do not run with it on/operating full time, but am still experimenting with its options. Living in Alaska, we look forward to some wilderness touring where we hope to grab some great shots and videos from it.

 

Snap, click and send off the photos/vid's via the IPAD instantly and with the additional option mounts permit placement elsewhere, i.e. suction cup'd to a point on the exterior body such as the fender or hood to get even better shots and clear of the glass. We also get use of it on our bikes, in hand or just about anywhere you can imagine. Not the cheapest means out there but with is small size and versatility offer great features bundled in a very small pkg.

Give the ITRONICS ITB-100HD FULL HD a try. Been running one for the last 2 years and this thing still rocks.

 

I've tried the ITRONIC too a while ago but it only last for 6-ish months. Cause: overheating.

But excellent picture quality though.

 

Let's see how long the Blackvue keeps going.

At least it has one year warranty.

 

so long

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
