Blackvue 2-Ch Dashcam Install on Model X

[hill]

....snip........ boom overnight it burned through my allotment.

Maybe i need to wipe the config and start again from scratch. worst case i will delete the mifi and only let it connect at home and sniff the traffic.

please let us know if this works for you, because we're in the same scenario. Our complete reset did zilch.
BUT - what's equally disconcerting is how hot the device gets just sitting in the 60 degree garage at night. the camera feels like it's at least hi jacuzzi temp's ... ~ 110°.
So if the camera's that hot in 60° shade - & a 75° sunny day easily yields 95° temp's in a car w/widows up ... wouldn't it be safe to conclude the 650S's 140° max operating temps are already exceded?
I've been running AC solely directed up the windshield to keep the thing cooler. But man - that cool air is starting to affect my sinuses swolen eyes is not a good look.

I had the DR650S-2CH installed in my other car but I have to say the quality of the videos were not as good as I would expect especially from the 720p rear camera. It is difficult to capture other cars' license plate unless we were both at the same speeds or at a standstill, which defeats the purpose of having a dash cam in the first place.

It is one of the best looking dash cams out there especially with that neat looking bracket but if you're looking for a dash cam that can produce clear footage in case of an accident, I would advise you to look into other ones.

Just my $0.02.

What other ones? I found few that match the features of the DR650S. I did end up with a 4 camera setup so I have the 1080p camera in the back and the 2 720p on either side window which is a great setup, but at twice the cost.

The video qulity on the Thinkware F770 looks clearer and has 1080p in the rear camera. It doesn't look as sleek as the Blackvue DR650S-2CH though.

We have just received the first copy.
Quantities are very limited
We also deliver a black film to hide the silver serial number on the Dashcam

Just received mine today in the mail. Can someone do a videp walkthrough on how to disassemble and assemble this?

Awesome Installed.

Love the look, one short coming of this mount is that it doesn't lock the radial position of the camera in place, so need to keep an eye to see if it is pointing straight.

Cool deal. Now I need tips on how to remove the conduit?

Do I start removing from the top of the headliner or from the rear view mirror area?

Use pry tools and maybe a hair dryer to help loosen the tape?

Thanks.

Off topic but has anyone successfully installed a Thinkware F770 on a Model X that has parking mode enabled?

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm looking for an actual video of it being removed.

David, any idea where you are at with the mount for AP2?

David, any idea where you are at with the mount for AP2?

Also, what are the plans for a Model S AP1 and AP2 mount?

 

[David77]

Unfortunately I do not know someone with a tesla S and X AP2
So I can not create support for the moment

I just did my install......but I did a HUGE rookie mistake.

I ran my front black front cables in the open conduit and put everything back together except for taping it down as I wanted to test everything. TOTALLY forgot to run the rear at the same time so now I'll have to everything apart AGAIN!

Sorry didn't make a video, just a few pictures. Which I'll post later.

My issue is I did the cigarette adapter/obd II wire split to get constant power but for some reason I get no power at all.

Blackvue cigarette into cigarette adapter spliced with obd adapter. What am I doing wrong?

@LuckyX , are your tire pressure sensors working? If your tire pressure sensors aren't working then, the fuse is probably blown. You can try plugging a cell phone charger into the cigarette adapter to see if you're getting power from the OBD2/cigarette plug. Just be careful not to plug something in that pulls too much power or else you'll blow the fuse.

The other option is to get a cigarette extension cable so that you can plug in the blackvue cigarette cable into the outlet in the center console (you most likely don't have enough excess cable to reach after running the cable around the trim).

If the camera still won't power on from the outlet in the center console, you can try buying a new blackview power cable. Hopefully it doesn't come to that because then you'd have to re-run a new power cable.

@Nerdy_Engineer my tire sensors are working also my 12v in the center is working. After the obd port wasnt providing power, I pulled out the wiring from the trim to test in the center 12v and it powered up perfectly.

I may have to redo my splicing job as I did it quick as a test, if it worked I would have spliced and crimped the wired cleanly.

Checking in from the PNW. Johnny at Calibred Customs just completed a DR650S-2CH install on my Model X. Top-notch work -- I'm very happy with the results.

Knowing that it's impossible to get the hatch inside cover off without breaking tabs, he fed the wires through with a zip tie instead. I would have just mangled my tabs had I tried doing it myself.
