Any pics of the Matego mounted in a car? How does it compare to the DR400 HD2?

I will try to take a picture mounted on my car with MG188.

Matego Mg188 VS Blackvue DR400g II Night version
Please choose 1080p to watch.

MG188's cabin noise is very good. Night vision quality is not bad for the price $150 includes HST comparing $250 Blackvue dr400 II.

i returned to my car to find out that my blackvue and power magic was off. this is due to the voltage auto cutoff? i turned on the car and the blackvue/PM turned on.

maybe weak battery?

asr 10-09-2012 09:14 PM

^
2 possibilities
a. Battery voltage is lower than the configured voltage setting/Time past configured timer
b. Battery is lower.
When you start your vehicle, does that power magic running again with green light? If so, your battery voltage is lower than power magic configured voltage setting.
What is your configured voltage setting and cofigured timer setting?

number 1 and 3

try 11.8 v for your configuring voltage. I don't have the power magic manual here. Just in case using a digital meter to test your battery.

I think do not touch the unit which might distract your driving.

These are all from Blackvue Manual.

My Blackvue is temporarily down, must be the low car battery charge. How would I know there's nothing wrong with the Blackvue itself? Car had to be jump started 2 days ago and been fine ever since, but no sign of life from the Blackvue.

asr 10-11-2012 09:09 PM

Please check your power magic pro manual. Make sure the configured voltage setting to 11.8 V the lowest setting
1 is up, 2nd is down.

Using a digital meter to test your battery buddy/Charged your battery up/Maybe it's time for yellow top optima. :)



Important

When you change your vehicle battery, please make sure your pmp switch is on 0 which is off.

My Blackvue and Power Magic weren't turning on after my battery died and needed a jump start.

asr took the time this evening to diagnose the problem, and re-wired it! Works like a charm now, and the install is as clean as the first time. Thanks!!

Right after the install, I encountered a dumbass driver already:

inv4zn 10-16-2012 10:09 PM

Where was it wired to before, and where is wired to now?

asr 10-16-2012 10:11 PM

Exactly same as before. His vehicle did a jump start and the power magic was dead. I connect to the Power Magic with the battery and test the harness which is fine. Permanent is dr Lock, accessory is Cig lighter.

Thanks for the clean install Will.
Knows what he is doing and answered all my questions.

Also remember when installing the SD to take the camera off the dock and be gentle, straight, and make sure its the right way or it will get stuck :ifyouknow:

Thanks once again.
