So i've had my Thinkware F800PRO installed for just over 6mths. Other than the issue with downloading video's off the microSD card which got sorted with an iOS App Update, its been working PERFECTLY. Even caught my neighbours being broken into on the parking timelapse motion detection which I handed in to the police.
Recently i've been noticing some weird goings on with my car like the interior lights not working on unlock, the coming home lights not staying on when unlocking in the dark, iPod not saving last track played and Satnav not saving a previously entered location mid journey after stopping at services.
Seemed to happen after a service so I put 2&2 together and got 9 as per usual so I ran my VCDS cable on the car and got a diagnostic.
Got the fault under;
Address 19: CAN Gateway (J533) - 03041 - Energy Management Active.
One of the possible causes according to RossTech is "Battery discharged/faulty".
Has this ever happened to anybody else with a hardwired dashcam ?
Its an 8yr old car at the end of the day that does relatively low milage per week so if I have to replace the battery I will, I just wondered if any of you could offer any advise before I spank out money on a new battery if its not required ?
Also, if I need a new battery, do I need to take it to the main stealer for installation and coding ? What are the best brands ? Is there an uprated battery I can buy ?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
