360 surround view + HDMI kit testing

[StarLog]

Anyone heard from @BearBu in the past week and half. I have sent emails, and DM's, no reply.

I been tracking these cameras treads. There’s no decent tech support for a product this complex. He had no company to help w issue

 

[StarLog]

@Wratran

So your saying you have heard from him, and he is not supporting us any more.?

 

[Wratran]

I don’t have the need to contact him because I
decided not to buy the product.

I did contact him thru PM for installation instructions and video..and it took weeks to response

Just based on treads on this forums for other cameras setup, it’s a real issue to get answer.

Yes. He emailed me back last weekend.

I haven’t read the entire thread but seems to me this is what a Leaf has with SL trim level.

An on vacation during the national holiday. Noticed of receiving your private massage on 29 Sep. Will try my best to reply every inquires from everyone but please allow us some time to process

Have been notifying many times that this 360 system is suggested to be installed by professional installer. Guys planning DIY please make sure you do really know how to disassemble all the side cameras and routing all necessary wire harness to and from side mirror, it HAS to be a real hard job. We are not the installer, we are just a seller.

Btw, we have a member @David.85D that he purchased the 360 system and he might share some installation instruction later

Yes. I miss the all-around view I had on my LEAF, which is why I'm following this thread.

(it does appear that when this system, when calibrated correctly, is a step better than the Nissan system)

 

[StarLog]

Most of my concerns are gone, the system is awesome. The front camera is my only concern at the moment.

It has not frozen in a long time, so seems like the more calibrations, the better it works.

If your in Florida and want it, we might be able to assist to install.

Question regarding the 360 unit...
What is the biggest SDCard/USB thumbdrive or SSD
that you have successfully attached to the external USB port to record videos?
How was yours formatted? NTFS or exFat?
Was it formatted using the 360 menu or on PC?
What was the brand & size?
So far I am only able to use 32GB (Sandisk ultra/Samsung EVO)

@staran

I used the format option in the 360 system. It stores several days worth of video on it.

Also got this and mounted the end on top of the steering column, so I can get to the SD card

I had a little delay waiting on some unrelated warranty work - I'll be back to it this week. Very happy to have a helper or an extra pair of hands if anyone wants to participate - I am in the northern suburbs of Washington DC.

Mine is working very well too. I finally had to replace the HDMI switch - the one delivered just would not work when switching inputs. Bought one on Amazon for $10 and it works perfectly.

 

[faughtz]

Haven’t installed yet, but plan to start this weekend, and saw reference to updating firmware. What is the latest, and is there a repository somewhere?

I've not done a firmware update. There is both a mini-usb (micro?) and regular USB slot. I believe the mini is used for firmware while the regular is for recording. I've put an extender cable on both, accessible easily via the rightmost passenger panel.

Thanks StarLog!

The issue I ran into was that the 360 would not recognize any of my large SDCard (>32GB) plugged into the USB port.
Here are the cards I tried:
Samsung endurance Pro 128GB (High endurance, preferred choice for dashcams)
Samsung Evo 256GB
Sandisk Ultra Plus 64GB

Unit would say "no USB storage (or no TF card) detected, Please insert USB device" and refused to reformat.

As soon as I reformatted them as FAT32 on my PC, then they worked flawlessly in the 360 unit!

ps: Same issue exists to record "TeslaCam" footage on SD Cards 32GB or bigger.
To reformat as FAT32 on PC, use the command line or a third party tool such as guiformat. See thread:
USB for dashcam exFAT vs FAT

My unit was shipped December 2018.

I am not aware of any official repository for newer 360 firmware versions.

Here are the versions it came with:
SW.6030.R 3.9 0 (Software)
FW.6030.R 2.1 9 (Firmware)
MW.6030.R 1.7 9 (MCU)
HW.6030.R 3.2 5 (Hardware)

Apparently, newer units shipped this year may have MW.6030.R 1.8 0
but I asked BearBu and according to the manufacturer there is no significant difference between 1.8.0 and 1.7.9.

So unless someone else has any newer version, I don't think there is any major firmware upgrade available.

ps: Additional colors are available now beside white such as: midnight silver, blue, etc...
If your only choice in the 360 menu is white, there is a download available to change the color of your car.

There is no functional different between old and new software version (replied from the 360 supplier)

What angle is your front camera set to. I cannot seem to get ride of a crooked line from the front to the side merge.?
