Golf mk7 / Re: Dash Cam Options?
« Last post by Finglonga on Today at 11:14 »
I have had the Thinkware F800 for a few years now on the front with absolutely no issues. I have a very old FineVu CR-500HD for the rear. The front has parking mode and it has saved the cost of the camera and more by catching cars that clip next doors car then driving off.

The camera can not be seen from the outside, I have positioned it so buttons are just accessible (rarely needed) behind the rear view mirror on the passenger side.

Take it you have the "Auto" lights on as they do not come on automatically if Auto lights is off.

@MinchCS; My initial thought was tyres too when I read @P6GTD’s initial post.

I reckon the tyres are the issue, particularly during wet and cooler weather. Mich PS4S has a very comfortable ride for a sports tyre - unlike the Mich supersports - and I would be very surprised if the Goodyear are not stiffer. Is the load rating the same?

So I can buy an SPS from anywhere at any time? It doesn't need to match my car, or have nay software loaded onto it? If that's the case it's good to know.

Do your interior lights come on when the doors open? If they’re turned off, iirc it disables the one in the boot too.

Yes, interior lights working normally.

Left field thought, but could it be an issues with the BCM (body control module) or similar?

Not sure how I would test that. Are the lights powered directly from an output on the BCM? Could that explain why I see 12v at the light? That could be a very low current monitoring voltage.
