Hi Alex, Do you know if those inner batteries (Lithium Polymer) are powered under AC or DC voltage from the PCB in the mirror ? I've got a mirror with no battery, but the connectors are here, I did a measure but it is chaotic. I've got an ANENG AN8008, and even if the measure could be wrong, it could go to few MHz for the sampling and give an average value. I wanted to add a Li-Po battery, but with those data I am a little bit concerned. 😁

Hi S! It's going to come down to what the scanner will be used for and what vehicle(s) it will be connected to (basically which communication protocols are needed, specially important if you need CAN-FD or DOIP support). So I would start by checking to see if your vehicle(s) are on the list of supported vehicles, then checking if the function you need is supported by the scanner. Then I would consider any special features like, AutoAuth SGW, free updates or subscription based, what addons are supported, if you need OBD support and and finally you would want to consider price etc. Cheers!

Why are Dashcam Companies Only Making Front and Rear Cameras, with No Option of being Able to Monitor one's vehicle, when they are Away from their vehicles ❔🤔💭 It's Time these Companies Make Dashcams with the following: 1️⃣ 6 Cams - 1 that shows Inside, Front from Driver's View, Side Mirrors, Rear, and 1 Camera on the Front Grill 2️⃣ Data Sim for Parking Monitoring, instead of WiFi ( Not Internal WiFi, that's a Waste of Time❗) 3️⃣ A Detailed App that Works Effectively 4️⃣ Hard Wire Kits with Every Dashcam purchase... Having These Cameras and Features Makes Better Sense, than a Single or just 2️⃣ Cameras, and the Only Way to View Footage, is when you're In the Vehicle ❗🤦🏾♂️

I just bought one $309.99 9-21-2024 at O’Reilly’s it didn’t come with no manual or a case nothing! Plus as I used it I noticed it all ready had a cars information on it a 2014 Equinox my car is a 2006 Equinox so I took it back and told them this a used scanner now I’am waiting for them to get another one in the store supposed to be tomorrow. I was wanting the Innova 5610 v2 but they only had the 5610 heck I was wanting the newer one version 2 I’ll see what comes in tomorrow. A case would have been nice and a paper manual and a OB1 adapter. 🙄 I can’t believe they tried to sell me a scanner that had been used I told the guy that the box had greasy finger prints on the box and it looked like it had been opened but when I seen that 2014 Equinox with its Vin number on there that was the last straw. ( Update part 2 ) Bought second scanner new 9-23-2024 took back the first one it was used. I bought the 5610 two days ago at a O’Reilly’s automotive store and I told the salesman that the box looked like someone used it as it had dirty finger prints on it I got home it had no manual or paper work I hooked it up to our 2006 Equinox and everything looked good then I found my car listed plus a 2014 Equinox and I don’t have a 2014 so I figured this tester is used so I took it back to the store and they didn’t have another so they ordered one from their bigger store who is their supplier. I actually wanted the 5610 v2 model but this used one was a 5610 so on with the story I put it back in the box and I seen a two page pamphlet crunched up at the bottom of the box. So they ordered the new scanner and I picked it up yesterday in said on the box 5610 same model I thought but when I removed it from the box it was the newer version 5610 v2 with a rubber protective case around the scanner plus this had the protective screen cover that you peel off and it had another cord that plugs in the bottom of the scanner a USB cable it also had a fairly thick manual and a case to put everything in. So far I’am happy now. I wasn’t impressed with O’Reilly’s trying to sell me a used scanner at $309.99 September 2024

@AlexAutoFun2 күн бұрын
Hi M! My dash cam doesn't really vibrate but I seen what you are describing on some cars. It comes down to your car's harmonics and suspension. So I see vibrations vary quite a bit from vehicle to vehicle, some have really smooth idle and acceleration and some don't. Same with suspension (including tire setup) some cars are set for comfort and vibrations are minimal but some cars are tuned to be sportier and vibrations are more pronounced in the interior of the vehicle (specially in bumpy roads). So the regardless of the mount type the main source of those will still be the vehicle the dash cam is being used on. Cheers!
