I used car wrap vinyl. Sorry about the link. I thought I added it before but I guess I didn't. I just added it.

Thanks for sharing this. Do you know the reasoning for this?

On Board Diagnostic port. For using to diagnose issues with a vehicle.

I used vinyl wrap that is used for wrapping cars. I did put a link in the video description.

I am not sure. I haven't seen any PID parameters for TPMS tire pressure. Though it may also depend on the app used. I mostly use the Torque Pro app.

It is called a "Door Check". I had another viewer ask me this too even though it is in the title of the video. It's not an intuitive name but that is what it's called.

Thank you for commenting!

I believe any hex key will work. I just haven't tried it.

Thank you. If your doors give easy access to the Door Checks then this will be a relatively easy DIY. Good luck with it if you do try it.

It might not turn on. I believe (and I could be wrong) that the dash cam will pull power from the BATT line and turn on/off based on the ACC line. It might work the way you want if you put both the ACC and BATT lines to the ACC fuse tap. I'm assuming you want to hardwire but don't need parking mode.

​@@FrakkingCreations Thanks a lot. Yes, I want to connect it, but without the parking mode. Could it be also possible to connect the battery line to ACC fuse and leave the ACC wire without connecting it?

I don't think so. It may not turn on. There are also many different hardwire kits so some may work while others won't. I think best bet is to connect both ACC and BATT lines to the ACC fuse tap. Though, I haven't tested this out before

​@@FrakkingCreations Oh, okay, thanks a lot. I will try what you said

We don't make these OBD Port locks. We only reviewed them. There are links to purchase these in the video description. For the OBDSaver specific ones it would have to be one of the 2 universal ones that would fit the Mazda. Please check with the manufacturer to see if it will fit. We don't have a Mazda3 to test with. I also provided another option for a lock in the links. It isn't as secure but may be secure enough for your needs.

It should but there is a catch. I believe that it is usually the vehicle that determines if the transmission temperature can be monitored. Apps like Torque Pro have a PID parameter for transmission temperature but the vehicle has to also output it to the OBD reader. In past vehicle I have tested this on, I haven't been able to see the transmission temperature when using a different OBD adapter and the Torque Pro app. Note that I was also using this on older vehicles (2005, 2006)

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for commenting.

Really? Who is the one not recommending it? At least so far, the replacement I installed in this video has not failed yet.

Thanks for commenting. We're happy you enjoyed our content. Please share it with anyone else you think would enjoy it. We really do put a lot of effort into our videos. To answer your question... for the POV, I thought the video showed a lot of what I see from my point of view. The camera was in front of me when I filmed it. What kind of POV did you want? A unit without the plastic screen would have to be pretty big like the ones that come built-in to some vehicles. Depending on the vehicle dash you have, it may not stick out as bad as you think. For me, it is perfect. I enjoy using it to this day still. I miss it when I use a vehicle without it. I don't really notice it there, either. I just notice the HUD display when I'm driving. I do use it in an SUV though, where the seating is higher up so in some cars it may be lower down and more in front of your view.

@@FrakkingCreations for POV i mean literally how it looks when you're in the seat like this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWi1nWipmsSfm7c&pp=ygUJUE9WIERSSVZF I understand you probably set up the camera a certain way since its hard to capture HUDs properly but I just wanna gauge how big and how far the screen sticks out

I see. I've seen his videos before. I've been looking into getting something similar setup for future videos.

Check back in about a week or so. I have some footage in a POV style for driving with the HUDWAY Drive.

@FrakkingCreations awesome I'll keep an eye out, thanks for taking my feedback!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Please share it with anyone else that would find it helpful too!

Depends on the dash cam and the OBD adapter. Some dash cams implement the parking mode internally like a lot of BlackVues. Others implement it on the hardwire kit (Like VIOFOs) or the OBD adapter. Then you have dash cams that implement it based on motion detected or not in the G-sensor. Others can detect using the voltage of the vehicle (BlackVue and others). When the voltage drops below about 14V or so it knows the vehicle is turned off and then it goes into parking mode. When the voltage drops further to the user set cutoff... For example, 12.2V then it powers down to save the car battery. If the hardwire cable or the OBD adapter cable implements parking mode then they would detect the vehicle is turned off when the voltage drops below 14V. Then based on the user selected cutoff voltage they would power down if it further drops below that cutoff. Best to match the hardwire cable or OBD adapter cable to your dash cam. And also make sure that the dash cam supports parking mode.

Of course not. It's knowledge. Just like other knowledge and tools, it can be used for good or bad. It is always the user that is good or bad. Knowledge of martial arts can be used for self defense or to hurt others. A knife can be used for cooking or to hurt others. It's not the knowledge or the tools that are the problem. It's the bad people that is the problem.

No. It needs to be on. Though I found that for Smart view connectivity on Samsung phones allows you to turn the screen into a screensaver mode when you turn the screen off. It's still on but it looks mostly off. Note that on the test phone (which is different than the one used in the video), the Smart view connectivity seems slow.

In the Torque Pro app there is a parameter for Boost pressure and calculated Horse power so I do believe it is possible. There are a few things to consider though. 1) does your vehicle output those PID parameters or not. If it doesn't then you won't get a reading. 2) For horse power, it is calculated using several PID parameters. If your vehicle output of data is slow, it won't be instantaneous and may be off. I believe it may also need to be calibrated correctly. Older vehicles can have slower data rates.

@FrakkingCreations I have a 2024 KIA SELTOS SX 1.6L TURBO SMART STREAM ENGINE. I can't remember if this video shows a KIA engine the same as mine or not? But have watched other vids with a similar device being used & KIA engines the same as mine.

Check out my review of the BlackVue DR770X box. It could be what you are looking for. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4HQfnasa81sj8U Sorry this happened to you. It really sucks and is such a pain to have to deal with.

Buy a European car or a Lexus they can be optioned in most European. Come standard in many Lexus models. Factory HUD still better except for night vision on HUD. Project on factory windscreen would be better

The factory HUDs are typically very expensive add-ons so they won't come by default. Most people don't want to pay a lot for. Though as with all technology, as it gets cheaper to manufacture and if people want it, it will probably come by default some time in the future... example is how radios used to be the default, then it was radio/tape deck, then CD players and now MP3 players etc...

@@FrakkingCreations Yes, they are "expensive" add-ons. But in terms of real cost, most likely actually cost the car makers peanuts. My car has built-in GPS navigation, but developed by an outside company. Found out the car maker decided to go in-house for the next model. Alas, the outside developer wants the owners to pay over $500 for any upgrades to the maps, while the newer models with the in-house developed navigation software get free up-grades. WTF couldn't android auto just be standard with google maps navigation by linking to a mobile hotspot or exactly mirroring a mobile phone's screen, using an off-line navigation like Sygic (on my mobile I have Sygic with lifetime free maps updates for the last 5 years, IIRC I only paid a one-off $50 licence)?

Seems these days everyone wants their cut of the pie.

@@FrakkingCreations Yup. Greedy pigs. IMHO it was stoopid of the car maker to rely on outside developers when there were cheaper options, like they could have signed a deal with companies like Sygic to install its SW into the head-unit. The car maker is one of the bigger ones in the world.

I agree that if someone wants something of yours they can find a way to steal it. Are you saying that no one should do anything additional to make it more inconvenient to steal their things? If so, should we all just not lock our house doors, not lock our cars doors, not password protect our phones and more? Because all these can be broken into easily too.

That's always a possibility like someone drilling the lock on the door of a house. This steering wheel lock has a different type of lock so the disks inside have to line up accordingly. If you drill into the disks they still won't line up so it won't open. I believe you will have to pick the lock.

@@FrakkingCreations Are you saying it can't be drilled out?

I'm saying that compared to typical locks that use pins, this one uses disks. You can drill the disks but if the disks aren't aligned correctly and you drill it, it still won't open. Unless there is a weak spot to drill that would cause it to open. I don't know of any.

Awesome backpack ❤

I agree. The side pocket is very useful. I'm surprised more backpacks don't use this idea. The Fidlock is a really cool feature that I like even though it has no other use than allowing access and securing the top compartment quickly and being something to fidget with. Though the EDC light doesn't come with the backpack a portable light does make sense to have with any backpack. Do you work in the cybersecurity field? I've always taken an interest in cybersecurity.

It needs to be connected to Bluetooth all the time, unless you use the Hardware limiter function. Though, in the hardware limiter function you don't have all the smart features. It's more meant for devices that aren't smartphones or tablets.
