Howdy GMT,

 

Just got my Rexing V1 in the mail and I’m excited to set it up in my 2018 1500. I’ll be applying it with a suction cup mount and running the wire up to the roof and down the pillar into the center cigarette lighter. It’s going to need some 3M-fu and I was wondering what tips y’all had? Does it need to be unplugged when I turn off the truck or keep it plugged in at all times? I decided to get one after some kid bumped into me in traffic, fortunately he just hit the tow hitch @ idle; did more damage to him than me!

I got a hard wire kit from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0GR4ON/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
Ran it to the drivers side fuse panel and connected so it only runs with ignition.

That seems much better...so you connect a fuse to the wires? I’m not familiar with circuits

I have a Rexing V1 Gen 3 with the hardwire kit.  It stays plugged in all the time.  So far, I've not been able to connect via wifi with my phone as advertised.  It shows connected but it doesn't actually hand shake with my phone.  

 

Maybe you'll have better luck.

That would have been neat if it actually worked! It would probably be a lost cause on an iPhone though, which is the king of refusing that magic hand shake

The kit includes an in-line fuse and a 12v-5v converter direct to a mini-usb plug. Also included a fuse splitter which I didn't use. There is a spare terminal in the fuse box providing RAP (retained accessory power). I connected directly to that. Could have just got the usb kit without the fuse splitter but didn't know that when I ordered it.

I’m running a BlackVue DR650S-1CH in my Silverado. Got it running to the cigarette lighter. Never shuts off.

Comes in handy. Only had the truck 2 weeks and almost got t-boned yesterday when some jerkhole decided he could blow a stop sign. Thankfully, I saw him.

Did you try turning off network data? My dash cam wont connect unless i turn data off and its on wifi mode only.

I've got the Blacksys ch200 hooked up to a cellink battery b under my back seat. ran the power wire and wire for rear camera underneath my headliner. The cellink battery b runs the camera in parking mode for about 24 hours after the truck is off before it runs out of battery. It's nice though bc it doesnt drain my truck's battery. Cellink battery b charges when the truck is running.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
