Make sure you have an entry added to define your HOME location
No Dashcam icon or USB detection...EVER...anyone else have and solve this?
If still having trouble...
Can you place some music files (.flac or .mp3) on that USB drive and play them? If that fails, does it work for another USB drive formatted as FAT32 or exFAT? Trying to establish a baseline, make sure data transfer is working okay on that drive and your car. Should work okay, but just a quick sanity check.
Also I saw some user reviews about various Samsung USB thumb drives and not working for others. What else can you try it in?
No chance there is some read-only attribute being set on that partition by your PC? Or any mechanical switch on that drive for write protect?
Are you trying to use the same USB drive for recording video and music playback? I've read somewhere that is not a good idea. Perhaps the drive/partition gets mounted as read only for music playback and that screws up any write attempts. Make sure you are trying with this drive dedicated to only video saving, nothing to do with music. You can set up dual partition to use single USB drive for both music and video recording, but I'd rather use separate, just in case writing has some issue and you end up corrupting that drive.
Finally there is a thread by somebody else who had similar issues, perhaps there is something useful in there...
