Just a head's up to everyone. I used this firmware on my Topfit Model X AP1 camera and I think I bricked it. It no longer talks, none of the LEDs light up, etc. I have verified that I still have 12v (13v, actually) being supplied, so it's not a fuse. I was merely trying to install the English firmware having just received the unit.

Googling "SD_CarDV.bin" reveals that many dashcams use the same image filename, likely because they're using the same chipsets and perhaps repacking the same cameras. I found many references to people bricking their cameras this way. It's my fault; I used a firmware image from a dropbox site without any kind of validation, checksum, hash, etc from the vendor. But there in lies the real problem: I cannot find "Topfit" anywhere on the Internet. Even the manual that came with the camera doesn't list a website.

If anyone has found a website for these folks, especially an official firmware repository, please do share.

Thanks.

Would have to create an Drobox account...

Nevertheless, thank you for the hints - which seemed to have worked for some users.

Doesn't Topfit offer any solution?
Else, I will deinstall the Cam on my MX (HW2, 8.1) and definitely cannot not recommend it.
 
I use the topfit model x AP2 with new English firmware.
The service and contact with teslafan is really very good.
Having some start-up issues, I received a new firmware.

With the new firmware it works pretty well, nevertheless still some times I discover that the cam is off, on road. I tried many times to turn of and on the car, and the cam started correctly.
I am unable to reproduce the issue in order to feedback something usable to fix it.
I tried a lot of thing, but each time the cam started correctly.

Does anyone experience the same issue and can help to find the root cause?
This case does not happen very often, nevertheless Murfy’s law says…
