Here are screenshots of 2020.28.6

If that is not in the update notes it should be.

That is likely. Would be easy to check by plugging light in cigarette lighter.

I believe this is the connector for the dashcam: Dropbox - 0436450400_CRIMP_HOUSINGS-148659.pdf

I learned that the other day when online with Tesla support. Thanks. I'll try that next time but simple power off/on makes sense like resetting a breaker which is probably similar.

:D

Happened again and scroll reboot didn't reset it but power off and then on again worked. Actually I might have misspoke as maybe it was power off and on the first time.

You could do that. The connector is an XT-60 which is on older drone batteries so you can get at hobby shop or online. Downside is you'd be using the only source of 12v in the car for the camera. And the work in splicing I elected to splice into wires connected to the car's cigarette receptacle.

Good question but easy answer. The Blackvue battery comes with two input cables. One is a cigarette plug with thinner cable for 5 amp input. The other is the direct connect cable with thicker wires. The battery has a little switch to either cigarette, off, or direct connect. Theoretically you...

I found a glitch and a solution. This morning found that the power to the 12v cigarette lighter was off while the car was on. This might have been caused by the 9amp additional draw from charging the Blackvue B-124 battery when in climate mode while car was parked. A reboot by pushing both...

Sounds like a idea! Seems the app should be able to do that.

Simply showing how to recharge Blackvue battery remotely from app. Note battery input (charging at 9 amp) after climate is turned on! Charges up quickly (in this case took 18 min). Note: You can't see the charge level remotely unless you're within Bluetooth range but the climate will run for...

Yes you lose storage space. Pictures in the link. But you have accessibility and it's totally hidden. And while you can't disconnect from car's cigarette because I spliced into wires to enable 9 amp charging you can just unplug cigarette of camera from blackvue battery to disconnect or at the...

Great news! Just discovered today that if you turn on climate control thru the app while the car is parked, the blackvue battery will charge!!!

I just finished my install/update of the dashcam in the Model 3. I like this functionality as dashcam is always on, the blackvue battery is accessible, it's charging at the full 9 amps, no wires are shown and I have additional functionality when car is on of 2 additional USBs, one 40watt 115VAC...

Thanks for the helpful install tips. I just received my B-124 battery and plan on putting mine in same place that you found under center console. Would like to see how you hooked up the dashcam, just using the female cigarette adapter that came with the B-124 or did you wire it in...

It remains. And they will change the battery one time for you. Next time it's on you parts & labor.

Just found this thread. I did my always-on dashcam install last month and then improved it (so i thought) with an always-on "Tesla's" box in the center console. Here are the links: Dropbox - Dashcam install in Model 3.pdf then: Dropbox - Always on Power in Model 3 console.pdf but then I got a...

that's what it said. given dashcam is 350mw max with wifi turned on, can't imagine how such would cause frequent recharging. have same install (different model blackfue) in my Model S always-on and has been no problem for 4 years.

Not vampire drain issue. But battery use issue as a 300-350mw dashcam shouldn't be a problem but it is with the Model 3. Never has been a problem with my Model S. I installed an always on dashcam (Blackvue 750S) in the Model 3 directly connecting to the battery and it caused a problem due...

I documented my always on install in attached PDFs. However about 2 weeks later had a service message. Seems the 12V monitoring system on the Model 3 is going to play havoc with always on dashcam installs. This needs to be fixed by Tesla. Having a battery that can power my house for a week...

interior door frame panel holes in Tesla Model S 2014 are 5/16" (8mm) not 8.5. It's 5/16" since you can't get an 8mm to fit but almost. Most of the clips mentioned in this thread are for 8.5mm holes. There are clips for 5/16" and 8mm. Also color of the clips for 8mm holes are deep blue...

Seems like Apple influenced the choice of those damn screws: Pentalobe security screw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok now we're almost on the same page. Anyhow, those wires are not constant on so I'm going thru firewall to fuse box so I can monitor while parked. Thanks.

I'm referring to what is clearly 2 conductor, black and white in picture below from the passenger dash side panel. I doubt it has anything to do with USB. Possibly proximity sensor for the doors? Take a look: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ip8pzb2fjbhnfvz/rightsidedashpnl.jpg?dl=0 Where did...

BTW, many, many thanks to LastNLSig and JPP for forging ahead. I'm waiting parts. I'm planning on doing both the dashcam power cable plus another 12Ga power cable for accessories under the passenger seat. Here are the panels removed for just the front section. Hopefully will remember...

I found a hole thru the firewall which holds what appears to be a rubber drain hose. The hose is easily removed from inside. I'm thinking either put the 12V power cable from the #2 fuse box thru that hole next to the rubber hose or else drill another hole right next to it and put a grommet...

Here's a good picture of what it looks like when open. Note the two clips that hold it in place. Dropbox - microphonepanel.jpg

damn. now they have they way they should have had it all along. would love to get it swapped to match my other car.

I received the new Blackvue DR750LW and it apparently has a different 3-conductor power cord. Two conductors (yellow and red) are positive and one black negative. It's size looks similar to above except the barrel is split into a negative ground and the tip which is positive (as is the center...

Tongue in cheek: When listening to music and you're making a turn, the turn signal blinking should be adjusted to the beat of the music playing.
