Does AP2.0 HW MX's Dash Cam work when you drive?

AP2.0 does not camera recording in any capacity, be it Dash Cam or Sentry Mode. AP2.5 and newer do.

Thanks for the clarification.

But That's unfortunate...hopefully they'll figure out a way to enable on 2.0. Hopefully we'll all get 3.0 HW upgrade one of these days.

2.0 simply lacks the outbound bandwidth to the USB ports to support camera recording. There's no way around it without changing the hardware... so we wait for 3.0 (at least those of us that have purchased FSD).

So how come I now have sentry mode on my 2017 HW2 MCU1 MX75D. What the point if it doesn’t record?

It's like an advanced car alarm that your car didn't have before.

Supposedly, AP 2.0 will create a date/time-stamped file on a USB thumbdrive when something happens to the vehicle under Sentry mode. It will not record anything in the file. You at least know when something happened.

yes, and reminds me of the reason why I still use my old Garmin nav unit when I drive. It constantly records forward video. Fortunately the MX does practically everything else that I used the Garmin for in the past, but it is still better at some things the Tesla firmware currently does not do.
