Hi all,
I have a new 2019 Forester Touring and a Rexing V1 dashcam. I just purchased the Rexing mini-USB hardwiring kit. I followed the instructions other users had posted online, and plugged it into 15A FUSE 7 (12V SOCKET).
The dashcam powers on normally. However, I first noticed several corrupted video files after a test drive with the new setup. These corrupted files contained times when the car was stopped and the auto-shutoff feature had turned off the engine. Files from long stretches of highway driving were completely okay. I heard the "startup" sound play a few times while I was driving on local roads. I also noticed the Rexing's blue LED would occasionally turn off (meaning it wasn't being powered), also while the car was driving on local roads. I'm taking this to mean the auto-shutoff feature is affecting the voltage in that circuit, and that is somehow messing up the Rexing dashcam, causing it to corrupt the video files.
Short of disabling the auto-start/stop feature, or switching back to the 12V adaptor (which works fine btw), do you all have any other suggestions? Is there another circuit I should try that's less likely to be affected by voltage transients from the auto-start/stop?
