My camera doesn't work, could this be the power washer?

Has anyone remapped an Octavia VRS 184bhp? Im interested in getting mine but curious to know if its worth it and if theres any negative impact to components. Im reluctant to do anything that would impact the longevity of this very reliable car

Yes thats what ive set it to. Ive also noticed a small light on the dash cam, its solid red which indicates recordings, then when i switch ignition off it blinks red which means stops recording. So its definitely working as it should. Id say its not good for the battery but if ive any issues ill just turn off parking mode

I liked the look of the Viofo WM1, it sits behind my mirror, you can barely see it. Good camera, although lacks a few features you get in higher end cameras. I think it is actually working as it should, it didnt record anything overnight and when i left for work this morning it began recording. So the camera is active at all times, you can connect to the camera even if ignition is off so maybe thats normal. Anyway ill keep an eye on it and ive jump cables in the boot if my battery dies.

Fuse 47 is rear wiper

Unless it supplys constant feed until its detects low voltage on the baterry then switches off. But i fail to see how that is proper parking mode, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B09MRVP2PX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title It definitely has three wires and definitely wired correctly

Yes it has two wires, battery and accessory. Ive enabled parking mode but i assumed the camera would still turn off with ignition then if there was motion or impact it would record.

Ok so ive installed a viofo wm1 with their official hardwire kit. Battery wire goes to fuse 40, ignition wire goes to 47 and its grounded. Working fine but the camera does not switch off. Im confident its been fitted correctly and has to be just a setting needing adjusted Anybody know what it could be.

Does the B pillar trim just pop off. Im getting a serious rattle while driving. Seems to be coming from this area. Does the top panel just pop off then same for lower trim after top has been removed? Cant say ive been able to find any guide or video

Ive completed this with the above aliexpress part. Seems much better, everything you need for £50 and has a nice storage box instead of an ashtray. Im tempted to swap cables around behind fusebox from 12v socket to rear wiper. This would make 12v sockets switched and rear wiper permanent. Cant think of a better way to get switched 12v sockets as i dont want to have to remember everytime to unplug my devices

Thats what i will be doing this weekend, I've ordered a pack of these piggy back fuses. Would be great to convert the 12v sockets to switched but doesnt seem to be possible

Will be coding this week when vcds arrives, this should sort issues. Does this white shroud stop fusebox connector from coming loose, im concerned it may come disconnect over a bump in the road.

What a morning, spent the last couple of hours wiring in the dealer towbar harness behind fuse box. Definitely something i dont want to do again!! All went well apart from snapping the shroud surrounding the fusebox connector. I still havent figured out the workings around it. Is it possible to order a new one or should it be ok? Anyway i have lights on my bike rack so its working But ive been presented with several warnings Manoeuvre braking error Start stop error ESC error Tyre pressure error Park pilot error Im waiting on my vcds scanner coming so will coding it fix these issues or is it a combination of the battery being disconnected and no coding being done. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I realise canbus can react negatively to changes being made but surely changing a device from permanent to switch isnt changing voltage levels, Its just stopping the device being active after engine switches off

I would prefer to convert my 12v sockets to switched, is this not possible. I would of thought just a matter of connecting the 12v socket cable to an unused switched fuse??
