Hi! I sent you an email yesterday asking about how you managed to mount the new panel onto the dash. If you can't find it, do you mind sharing how you did it here? I can't find any way to make the new panel hold onto the dash
@JohnHasABug6 күн бұрын
Hi If I remember right I didn’t use two little plastic parts. Just not enough room below to use them. The top used the mount like the stock panel used. Did you see this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWPQiIGMlruifpo I hope this helps. John

Hi! I’m thinking of getting one but I’ve seen many reviews saying over time it overheats and stops working. Also that it drains the car battery. Have you had any problems with it overall?
@JohnHasABug13 күн бұрын
I’ve had mine awhile. I’ve driven for 12 ish hours straight fairly often and it’s been fine. Once I drove longer and it was very hot. So I could see that it could happen. But it’s so nice to have I would buy another one. I hope that helps.

You already have one panel removed and the other you stop recording until it's out. I am going to start making real videos of my own.
