I found that neither the wireless charger nor the USB C port were enough to maintain charge in my pixel 8 when using Google maps over wireless Android Auto. I resorted to a 12V charger in the storage box and a short USB C cable. No problems since.

Am I right in saying that the usb port is not powered when the car is off - therefore the camera cannot operate in parking mode?

Ok thanks

If I go down the route of fitting myself I have a question about powering it. The obvious thing to do would be to use the USB port next to the mirror - wiring for slave cameras like the rear come off the front cameras I assume. Is that USB port powered when the car is locked ? Cameras like...

Totally agree - I don't use it for that reason. Close call where the car slammed the anchors on when it saw a 20 sign on a side road, the HGV behind me wasn't happy.

My advice is to get those startup faults properly investigated and resolved really quickly. It sounds very similar to what happened to me and my ZS, which is all documented in a thread on here. Those startup faults turned out to be related to a HV BATTERY DISCONNECT issue which stopped the car...

Thanks I'll experiment

Yes and it works fine. I hadn't activated it during the test today though.

My MG dealer will fit front and rear dash cams for £200. I have asked for the make and model etc but don't have it yet. Does this sound like it might be a good deal? Any recommendations?

I tried a few things today. When my wife got out of the car with the keys I got 6 bing-bongs with a message like "the key is not in the car". She says she didn't get those messages the other day. She took the keys into the house to get something. While the key was out of the car I was able to...

My wife dropped me off at the bowling green yesterday. I got my bag out of the boot (by opening the tailgate), closed it again and off she drove. I mention the tailgate because that can't be opened unless Park is selected so I know she did that. When I got into the clubhouse I realised the keys...

But it should just be reading, right? Surely it would only cause issues if writes were queued in the drive buffer at the point the stick was pulled from the USB? Why would reads cause errors?

Ok thanks, explains why that's in the manual

I won't hold it against you

Haha yes welcome to stay over and charge up
