@@Roadrunnerz45 agreed but keep in mind this is their entry level dash cam and is priced as such. There are some brands that include gps at this price point but many are just cheap junk. In the Mini 3 they have switched the camera orientation from vertical to horizontal and added a polarizing issue. They have also resolved the overheating issue that many of the Mini 2’s were experiencing. The two Mini 2’s that we already have do get quite hot, but have never failed to work. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@marcinmichigan2772 yep, I got them mixed up, thanks. The way I keep them straight now is PL is the plug (male) connector.

Great to hear. Totally agree, it’s not a 5.0 (that’s in my F-150) but it’s still plenty fast for me. Still 100hp more than my ‘82 Vette whose 350ci is rated at 200hp. My kids 4 cylinder SUV makes more power than that 😂

@@stevel6252 congrats on the new Jeep. Hate when the dealers tell you it’s normal and then don’t even fix it correctly. When we took our back, it was a little better but still way off. It’s so easy to correct it yourself….just make sure you adjust the nut a little at a time. I was surprised how much the steering wheel position changed from turning the nut very little. My first attempt moved it over to the other wrong side and I had to back it off a bit. Please do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for the paint blistering issue. I did another video on this and there is a huge Facebook group dedicated to this called “JL Corrosion can be Fixed”. We too went through this. We were lucky so far as the repaint has held up 3 years later. That said, if it comes back we will trade it immediately. We already said, this is our first and last jeep. Thanks for commenting and watching. Glad I could help 👍

@@PeteEmmel so I tried doing this with my wife’s iPhone 11 Pro Max and I even used a genuine Apple USB-C to Lightning connector. Same result….no green light on the Garmin, which means it’s not getting power from the Lightning connector. My iPhone 15 Pro Max has the USB-C port so I’m guessing the device you are connecting has to be USB-C. I would imagine one of the new iPads with USB-C would also work. Just to answer your other question, if it did work, to see the files on your iPhone, you would have to open the built in Apple app called “Files” (you can also just ask Siri to open the Files app for you). If the Garmin had connected successfully, you would also see a folder where all the Garmin videos are stored. It works just like the Files program on a Windows PC or the Finder app on a Mac. Hope that helps and sorry it didn’t work for the older iPhones.

@@Animatronicbear channels 15-22 are regular simplex channels. They are not set up for repeaters. Channels 23-30 are the repeater channels for the same frequencies found on channels 15-22. The 462.5500 frequency is the same for channel 15 and 23 except that channel 23 will transmit on the repeater frequency of 467.5500 (offset of +5) and receive on 462.5500.

@@210castro great info, thanks. I will keep an eye and ear out for it. I’m at 62k miles now. Hard to believe it will be 10 years old in a few months. Still looks and drives like brand new. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@Truthh4040 yes but the Garmin app is terrible and takes forever to try and view and download a clip on your phone. I did another video where you can plug your phone directly into the camera to view and grab the files as if the camera was an external drive.

@@ChrisHariis sweet!!!! The white with red interior is beautiful. Great to hear of others loving theirs. Yep I’m on my second battery and tires, only because of years, not miles. Yes the 4.6 is great, especially with the 5 speed. While 300hp is low compared to the 5.0’s of today, it has all the performance and speed I need. For us it’s a great cruising car. Hope you have continued luck with yours and enjoy. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Mine is at 135k. Engine and transmission runs strong but it needed a lot of TLC when i bought it at 115k (new valve cover, new coolant hoses, brakes, tires, spark plugs and coils, alternator, AC problems, wiper fluid doesn’t work. That’s really it and it had 115k when i bought it.

@@MH-5274 no unfortunately not. Not even if you unlock the radio for ham bands. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@joeladd6023 that is awesome. Thank you again and great to know it works the same for the Mini 2, as both my children have them in their cars. We visited the UK for the very first time two years ago. Spent a few days in London before taking the train to Southampton to catch our cruise. Absolutely loved the city and the people.

Marvelous spot. You're a genius.

@@khiaraslaw good to know about other brands, thanks. Yeah, my truck sits out every day in the sun. We haven’t had rain in a month and it’s no lighter. It never dries out. For my next truck I will look for a cover made out of aluminum or some other metal. This fiber board is for the birds. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@stevebanda8776 it’s in another of my videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opm9aIyDga93rbcsi=Ewkj2RvupQDait0g

Cool so you think they are better than the oem halogens? And worth it? Also do you remember where u got them thanks

@ the info for where I purchased them from is in the description. Also take a look at the comments….I think someone found the exact ones elsewhere for less money. I still really like these bulbs and I’m still running them in my Rubicon. The halogens are probably just a tiny bit brighter and more focused, but I don’t mind since I run the headlights during the daytime to be seen and I like the way they look and the fact that they draw less power. Nighttime isn’t an issue for me since most of the time I also use my auxiliary LED light bar that’s mounted on the front. With that light bar on, it doesn’t matter what kind of headlight bulb I’m running, as the lightbar is amazingly bright on its own. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@benjaminmiranda6655 it will take any size up to 512GB. No matter what size card you use, it’s not like you’re going to run out of space, as the camera continually records over the oldest videos. The only drawback with a smaller card is that you won’t have as much history to go back to should you need it. I believe I’m running a 64GB now and it always keeps at least a few hours worth of the latest drives.

@@charleslamont2963 thank you for the kind words and glad I could help 👍. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@knwatkins lol regarding the wheel on the right side. Yes I wish it was 4k also but then I’m sure the price would be higher. They are both 1080 with 140 degree view. The Mini 3 has the polarizing lens built in for less glare. The Mini 3 also has voice control and is just ever so slightly smaller than the Mini 2. Biggest thing I noticed is it does not get hot like our Mini 2’s do. Some Mini 2’s had overheating issues. Thanks for watching and commenting.

​@@EverydayATV Over here in the UK, the Mini 3 is £150 and the Mini 2 is £100. I don't think I'll upgrade just yet. It's great they've integrated the polarizing lens into the camera itself. I think I paid an extra £20 for the lens on the Mini 2. I completely agree with you regarding the app - best to remove the SD card and watch on a laptop or desktop PC. Thanks for the great video!

@@MatthewFordVictoria couldn’t agree more. Thanks for the tip on the spare card. Great idea 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@mattnoble655 that’s exactly what I’m afraid of. We’ll hit the two year mark after the repaint coming up in January. I told my wife to be ready to dump it and go with something else as soon as it happens. Sorry you had to go through this too. My wife had a 2004 Lexus GX470 for 15 years until we got the 2019 Rubicon for her. After 15 years, the GX’s paint was still perfect. This is also our last Jeep/Stellantis product. We will probably go back to the all new Lexus GX, now that they’ve finally redesigned it after all these years. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@dbldare glad it helped. Not sure why the ESC light would have come on for a misaligned steering wheel though. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@EverydayATVI read that the computer thinks you’re basically in a slide with the wheels going one direction and the wheel going another. Either way, it cleared up. Thanks again.

@@joeladd6023 wow that’s really cool that the phone will recognize it as external storage. I will give it a shot with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thank you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks again for the great tip. I made a follow up video on it and yes it does also work for Apple phones. Thank you 👍

Thanks for the info. Whats weird is the new Garmin has both the lens/sensor on the right (passenger) side along with the plug, yet the old Thinkware also has the lens/sensor on the right, however its power cord is on the left (driver) side. That’s why I couldn’t understand why Garmin couldn’t wire it the same way. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@miketennis14 thanks. It’s actually the other way around. The dashcam creates one minute segments on the card. In the app it tries to jam them all together in one trip. I had a 3 hour drive that I was trying to open in the app and it took forever and was constantly buffering. When I put the card in my computer, I could easily open whatever one minute segment I wanted. It might make finding a particular scene a bit more tricky if you don’t know the exact time, but at least it’s watchable, unlike in the app. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@EverydayATV Good video. So, I cannot watch the whole video from the SD card plugged into my laptop? It's just a whole bunch of 1-minute clips? How can I watch the whole video? Or do I have to watch the whole video from the app on my phone? @t 10:22: how are you playing the audio card?

@@prettygirlus9008 if you look at the files form the card on your computer, each video clip is 1 minute long. The file names are date and time coded. If you want to see the whole “trip” together as one, you will have to do that from the app. The reason the app hangs and is so slow is that it’s trying to put all the clips together for you. Stay tuned for a follow up video tomorrow on plugging your phone into the camera and reading the card directly…no computer needed. The music you hear in the dash cam recording at the 10:20 mark is the radio I have playing in my car as I was driving. I have audio recording turned on the camera so it records any audio it hears in the car. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@shieldj7112 thanks. Great idea. I tried it this morning and while the camera will swivel around the full 360 (no issues with the cord), the problem is that the ball mount won’t allow the camera to swivel down when it’s facing you because of the angle of the windshield. As a result, it’s pointed up at the roof. Also in my case, it wouldn’t record me anyways because it’s behind my mirror and I can’t see it. Only good thing is it would still record the audio as long as you had your car running. Thanks for commenting and watching.

I mount mine using adhesive magnets so if I get pulled over, it can easily be pulled off the front and placed onto a second magnet I stuck to the back of my Rear View Mirror. That way, the body of the camera is hidden behind the mirror with just the lense hanging down and the cops don't even notice it! It's also easy to point it in other directions by repositioning the mirror!

@@davidturknett4447that’s a great deal. Was it thru Radioddity’s site or Amazon? Also was it the regular GM-30 or the plus? I’ve since unlocked my DB20 for ham (I’ve gotten my Technician license) and it works great for the 2m and 440 Nets I join. I’m using it with a Comet GP-1 dual band antenna in the attic and everyone says it sounds great. To avoid constantly swapping out antenna cables for ham and GMRS, I now just use my Wouxun KG-935G Plus connected to my Ed Fong GMRS antenna, also in the attic. That setup sounds great too. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Glad I could help.

@@josephwoodward1839 hey Joe. The 1080p on theirs has been fine. It is what it is especially at that price point. Look for the video on the Mini 3 installed along with sample footage tomorrow. I’m happy with the quality. I still have yet to drive at night and see how that turns out. If I end up getting a 4k for the front, I’ll then throw this little guy in the rear window so that I have front and rear like I had before. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@scrullos thanks for the kind words. Coming up on almost 10 years old and 61K miles now. Still loving it. Especially with the crazy prices of a comparable new one. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@seaswirl79 yes the pulley and using the strap on the bumper has worked well for me. I just can’t go super high with the plow since my mount is a mid-mount under the frame. You’re limited with how high that mount can go until it hits the frame. Front mounts can go much higher. I was impressed with the Provantage winch last week. I had to pull a 14’ swim pontoon platform with aluminum tubes out of the lake onto our pea gravel beach. I tried pulling it out using a tow strap with the ATV. I had no traction in the pea gravel even with it in 4wd. I turned the ATV around the other way and used the winch. It winched it up perfectly.
