Lomfy 2nd Gear May 11, 2018 Share May 11, 2018 (edited) Great! I shall ask around for reliable workshops. Mazda has confirmed that they do not install the camera in a way that it will be on 24hrs even tho the camera has motion sensor and a safety feature of cut off when the battery runs low. They also do not help to install additional battery pack. So i am pretty much left with the choice to get them to install the free camera that comes with it and pray that nothing happens in 3 years or i just go to a workshop and make sure they do it in a way that wont void the warranty and I can remove it before sending the car for servicing. what camera they giving u? there will be uninstallation charges if you plan to change the camera outside...its a good investment to have it run 24hrs with the battery pack as u nv know which goondu will come hit and run your car during parking. i nv heard of warranty void for installing camera outside leh, my previous honda SE told me go outside install better as their free one got problems Edited May 11, 2018 by Lomfy ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them not to install it. The sales person keep saying that if i go to outside workshop and install it, there is a risk they will void the warranty cos of the wiring. He say new car very sensitive in terms of the wiring. =X Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If install with an additional battery pack, the installation of the camera itself or the battery pack, does it need wiring to the car battery? Do we need to charge the additional battery pack?

Matrix88 Clutched May 11, 2018 Share May 11, 2018 Hi guys, need some help here. Just install Iroad Q7 2 weeks ago but found that the front camera playback on Iphone 6+ is not smooth. Abit of slow motion. Back camera is ok. I trying changing to another SD card (Strontium 64G Class10) but problem still the same. Corvit in fact is very helpful and change a new front camera for me. However it is still the same. Downloading to computer doesn't show any lagging. Any expert out there to advise me what is the problem. Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
