VAG Neutral Newbie October 2, 2013 Share October 2, 2013 I also sold away my DR500GW-HD after some run-in test at home. The spec of blackvue is good, just that they don't do enough environment testing before releasing a product. Now I am trying out Livue LB100. This one won't overheat and got powermagic feature built in. Can see some reviews at Dashcamtalk.com ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronsonsg Neutral Newbie October 2, 2013 Share October 2, 2013 Bought mine at Borneo Motor and installed there in June. Working intermittently. Very often it said "check your SD card". The led light for normal mode recording is RED. The manual is helpless. The web-site is complicated. I will just leave it there until I find a replacement. :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpmanz 5th Gear October 3, 2013 Share October 3, 2013 Looks like it's goodbye and not good buy for the black vue. Was really considering to put them on my rides. U just saved me! Wanted to do it this Friday. It's not cheap, so thot it's supposed to be good. In this instance it is bad n expensive rather than good n expensive. After hearing from bros here, it seems tt the product doesn't do what it's supposed to do well. Paying $808 for front n back camera, for ONE car, including the installation n magic pro is not worth it if I have to be a slave to it. Any bro can recommend a good one? 808 seems a bit on the steep side. unless both are dr550 models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using this. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/powerucc-panorama2.1208/ You can buy it off ebay or qoo10. The video quality is really good. The GPS currently doesn't allow change in time zone so it always reverts back to Korea time (but the developer is getting the firmware updated).

Speedzbmw November 9, 2013 Share November 9, 2013 Bros I am currently using the DV500 Wifi . use it about 4 mths . recently there was a problem with the time and date. recently i change and replace another sd card as i need the current one to upload videos, i realise there was a lapse in time which does not happen in the past. when i usually change or replace sd card, the blackvue did not have that problem and will continue from the same time when i replaced the card 'A' with another card 'B' . I have tried to upgrade software and reset the right time and date to try. when i set the right time and date on card 'A' at 9 pm and let it on for a while, did a test by replacing it with card 'B' it shows 8.15 pm which is the time i took out the card. this did not happen in the past . is it a problem with the internal built in time memory. i bought it at autobay kings and the installer sucks big time did not even rearrange my wires properly which i had to go to another shop to rearrange wires and put it properly.

Did you try to park your car in the open then do a reformat? You need the GPS to lock in for time and date updating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime i off or take out sd card and replace with another the time will lag Try downloading the time set program from blackvue website to set the time. You need to set it with your PC and save it to the card. I think in your case, both cards are set to different times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedzbmw November 16, 2013 Share November 16, 2013 Today I finnaly had the time to go down to Kings at autobay block 1 which i bought the blackvue from them 4 months ago. The installer Ah Tangg said that because of upgrade software that causes this. then i told him i prefer the previous software as it doesnt give me any problem with the timing and date. did the time set and ask me to try for now.I have explained to him that this doesnt happen to me in the past. whenever i take out a card and replace the timing and date does not change. this time it always changes when i off the blackvue.he claims that its supposed to be like this with the new software!!!! in the past there was no such problem! he also said that my battery is 500 amps not enough for camera and its better to fixed a battery charger. I was thinking thats seriously a joke. at the first place why would there be the power magic then. I do not recommend anyone else to go to this place where the installer try to push here and there and wiggle their way out. somemore ask me to fixed a battery charger make more money out of me instead of helping me to rectify the issue.
