Hi all, Quick update regarding my dash cam adventure. After lots of messing around with various cables, mount positions and other tech I found out that the Nextbase supplied USB cable had a fault within it and would only 'connect/power up' when perfectly straight. I fitted an old long USB cable...

My wife's been telling me that for years!

Good point 👍

Hi all, hope all's well. I've had my S5 since February and it's been great. Recently, we've noticed a rattling sound similar to a screw/nut/bolt rolling around on plastic. I've located the sound to the door trim on the passenger side. It's behind the plastic trim at the bottom. Here's my...

🤣🍻

One extra thing that hasn't been mentioned is that during the service they'll check for any software updates. Non MG garages wont be able to do that.

I guess there will always be a fee involved somewhere, they're not going to do things for free. On my 5 year plan I think it was approx £100 more than the individual costs but I still believe £240 a year for a service, MOT and full breakdown cover is good value.

The plan is linked to MG, if a dealer closes you just switch the plan to another dealer

Each to their own. I'm happy with the decision I made and you're happy with yours. Everyone's a winner 👍

Also bear in mind that by getting the services done at an MG garage it automatically extends the free full AA Breakdown cover (MG Assist) which currently costs £148 per year. That's £740 over 5 years! My previous breakdown cover, with everything included, was £100 a year so that's £500 saved...

Bought mine today. 5 year plan, £1200 😳

Truthfully l don't think I needed such a feature packed DC but one I had in the past was so atrocious you could barely make out anything on the recording, let alone a car and it's numberplate. I guess I went for a reasonable spec model that was well reviewed. Had I known the mirror port wasn't...

Hi all, Quick update. I tried the 522GW without the cabin camera and I placed it in the car with 1-2 bars showing on the battery. After a minute or two the dash cam was screaming again claiming 'low battery' and turned off, all while connected to the mirror usb port. I fully charged the DC...

I think the USB port is 20w (10v @ 2 amps) so that should be more than enough but I guess you could be right, the cabin camera add-on might be demanding too much power. I charged it up last night so I'll check it later and see if it works then.

I'll check this later as if that's the case I'm sending it back. The dash cam, not the car.
