I believe that’s the version where my bug disappeared.2019.36.2.4
Thanks this worked i was going crazy. ThanksAll is back to normal after a cold reboot (brake+two steering wheel buttons)
While not definitively proven, all common sense indicates that it's a software issue with the car. Do yourself a favor and get an inexpensive USB thumb drive. I recommend the SanDisk CZ600 Cruzer Glide USB 3.0 256 GB Flash Drive from Costco for $33.Any other ideas?

There is a pinned thread in the User Interface sub-forum titled "MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam" that discusses this ad naseum.
It's been explained ad nauseam by those of us who understand storage and what's actually going on here why the symptoms don't necessarily imply a software issue, but I won't go into it again here.
Yes, a layman's understanding of it will lead you to believe that it must be a Tesla software issue, but it's far more complicated than you're realizing.
Owners have had 2 Teslas- one with errors the other without. And swapped the storage device.
The problem stayed with the car.
Which it wouldn't if the storage device was the problem.
Likewise many have reported issues introduced when a SW update happened, and others issues going away when a SW update happens...again without changing the storage device.
And folks have reported various issues on every type of storage device- including on ones that work just fine for other people.
Blaming the storage device is the lazy excuse, but doesn't hold up to known facts.
It's all been explained to you before.
You consider storage as deterministic all the time write speed
Additionally, all these Teslas are running the same exact software so issues would manifest on every Tesla the same way with a given storage device if they worked like you believe.
In the real world, cheap storage, while it meets an average sequential write speed/s has widely varying instantaneous write speeds
You've made a decision, and you aren't interested in hearing why your position doesn't hold true. Enjoy your faith based troubleshooting I guess.
I guess I'm just too dumb to be logical.It's been explained ad nauseam by those of us who understand storage and what's actually going on here why the symptoms don't necessarily imply a software issue, but I won't go into it again here.
Try this...Going to necro this thread...same problem as OP.
2018 M3 LR here. Have had car for almost 3 years, with no dashcam issues. Dashcam has been working fine but today while driving with my wife I happen to notice Dashcam icon was completely missing. As luck would have it, we almost got hit by a FedEx truck literally 10 minutes later, so not having it recording was making me nervous.
Steps I have taken:
- Removed and reinserted thumbdrive
- Tried thumb drive in second slot
- Format drive via in car screen
- Reboot with brake +2 thumb buttons
- Switched thumb drive with 2 others which I confirmed work on home computer + format via in car screen
- Reboot again with newly formatted other drives in place, one at a time
No luck, see photo, still no Dashcam icon, but sentry mode appears active. Interestingly, each time I formatted the drives, the dashcam icon would appear for a few seconds (no red dot though) but then went away. If I managed to hit the icon quick enough, it would give me option to launch viewer, etc, but then went away.
Car did a software update a day or two ago, (2021.24.5) and I don't remember seeing icon since, but that may be coincidence.
Thoughts?
