They only do wholesale, and it's not listed on their website since it's a complete system.. http://www.carphone.cc/Product_view.asp?id=168 You can email and ask them or I can find out if it works as standalone from my friend if you need help.
Switched power could be sourced from the port. I would take power from a switched fuse myself.Thanks guys
@DJAlix that looks very interesting! I think I need to do some research, not sure why it is plugged into the OBD it seems? Don't like the idea of that, but otherwise it seems really good
Yeah that's what I'd do if that's all they're using the OBD for... Wasn't sure if there was some more fancy underlying feature they're using it for, but doubt itSwitched power could be sourced from the port. I would take power from a switched fuse myself.
Thats kinda how I imagined it might look with all those cables. Am still trying to think of a more elegant solution. Power wise I use one of these from the perma live MMI fuse position, for the moment anyway:Here's the DVR placement, wires need tidying up a little and I've not chosen a power box to manage the battery levels when the ignition is off yet.
I'll look into this and while I'm here, what are the settings you used to record while the car is parked? Occasionally I forget to unplug the power and leave it recording all night with no problem, but this isn't optimal.
I'll look into the magnet thing cheers
Yup I used an Audi RCA to AMI Cable. VIM activation is only needed if you want to view whilst in motion.Did you make the link from the DVR to the MMI screen?
I'm unsure if a powered AV converter is required, as well as removing the VIM protection
I've got the RCA cable, and HDMI out... just the VIM to kill off then!Yup I used an Audi RCA to AMI Cable. VIM activation is only needed if you want to view whilst in motion.
