Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

[CSFTN]

Possible you shorted it while working on the power connector? Can you cut the power to this (otherwise always on) connector, except for pulling the fuse, so you can work on a not-live power source?

I'm not sure. I probably just crossed the 12v and 10v together and blew the fuse somehow. I finished the job earlier today. It looks very clean. The wires are only visible for about an inch below the auto pilot camera and when it comes out the back hatch molding to the rear camera. I was able to run the wire to rear camera through the headliner seams and up through the rubber boot into the hack back hood. I drilled a hole to get the wire back out and ran it under the black molding at the top of the rear window. It took a long time but I have to admit it came out looking great at the end. Now I can return my unused OBI adapter to Amazon.

I'll post notes and photos on Thursday.

I was thinking the same. I never have fuse blow.

Does anyone know what the small vent on the very front of the plastic autopilot/mirror assembly is for? I'm guessing ventilation.

So I used a variety of guides and go my blackvue install today. I noticed though tonight my display "auto brightness" doesn't seem to be adjusting anymore. Did I somehow inadvertently unplug something up by the speaker/mirror? If so is there any particular plug I need to look for to check? Thanks.

Did you double check that your rear view mirror's plug is fully seated in? It may have been pulled out during the install. Also check the fuse that the mirror uses (unfortunately, I'm not sure what that fuse # is).

Malware

Just getting around to the install after buying the Blackvue a month ago. When I downloaded the BlackVue Windows Viewer 2.50 from BlackVue's site, I got an immediate malware warning from Windows Defender and the file was deleted.

Has anyone else seen this?

Nothing on the Mac

I just downloaded and installed it on Windows 10 with no issues.

I just downloaded and installed it on Windows 10 with no issues.

I just tried it again two days later with the same result--positive indication of a Trojan. Up-to-date Windows 10.

I emailed BlackVue support to see what they say . . .

I just downloaded it (Win7). No issues.

Got it fixed. Completely took down the autopilot camera and could see that the light/rain sensor was unplugged. Plugged it back in and we're good to go now.

@valkeriefire just checking: is it the circled fuse you're referring to? I'm trying to find constant on fuses in the new facelift S as well (although ideally I'd like to find a constant on 10 amp or higher circuit).

This is their reply . . .

We have confirmed this with the blackvue Software security team. This is not a virus but a precautionary mesaure from the windows defender since blackvue PC viewer is not a well known program.

Also this problem is just with Windows 10 defender and sometimes with Norton antiviruses for some reason. You can also scan your computer with another antivirus to confirm it. People all over the world are using it without any hassle on other operating systems.

They got to get someone to do their CS more professionally instead of google translate

Correct. That is the fuse for the empty microphone box we are taping into.

I just got delivery of a 70D with autopilot. There is a sensor/camera in the lower corner of the rear view mirror (driver's side) which doesn't exist in non-AP models. How far away from that camera does the BlackVue need to be so as not to interfere with it?
Thanks in advance.

What's it for?

 

[Voltaire]

What's it for?

I think it's for reading speed limit signs, eventually stop signs and traffic lights. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist on non-AutoPilot models.

Are there anybody who is still on BlackVue v1.0x software and you sometimes see no files in the phone app via Wi-Fi?

Mine doesn't show any files, just seems there's nothing. However when I reboot BlackVue from the app, everything shows up.
