Hope you find a dealer with better quality techs.

I looked at my invoices also and no tech information anywhere. Has the service writers name but that’s it.

ForScan for the win. 😁

JK, how did the dashcam hold up? Did it ever shut down or overheat?

Yesterday I was driving most of the day. The battery was charged. Had some glitches with the dashcam. I have the screen set to turn off after 1 minute. It was working fine. I had numerous starting and shutting down sequences of the engine during the day. On a couple of startups, the dashcam...

Haven't even gone down that path yet.

Flashing green - stopped recording. Steady green - standby mode. I haven't checked to see how long the USB-C plug is powered up after shutdown. The consensus is around 50 minutes. I'm going to check the USB-C with something else plugged in, maybe a phone and see how long the charging is active...

I noticed sometimes when I shut off the vehicle the screen shuts off but the Dashcam must still be operating because it gets warmer. I just shut it down with the on/off button now. Trying to figure this thing out.
