- Viofo G1W-S
I very recently bought a Viofo G1W-S through OCD Tronic. My plan for it may or may not be unique. Yes, it'll be functioning as a regular dash cam... but it'll also be supplying live video (using an A/V cable) to a 7" LCD dash mounted screen. Why? Because I have a RHD vehicle ('98 JDM Impreza STi) in a LHD country (Canada). The dash cam will be mounted to the extreme left of the windshield. This will allow me to see "around" any cars coming towards me who are turning left in an intersection when I'm also trying to turn left going the other way. If you've never been in this predicament, it's probably difficult to imagine how almost impossible it is to see who's coming through the intersection before making a left turn... while sitting on the right-hand side of the vehicle! Any cars lined up turning left coming the other direction completely block the view.
So, my question... Is there not a way to turn OFF the dash cam's graphic display that is sent over an A/V (and/or HDMI) cable? I don't need to be seeing all that distracting camera info displayed on my connected monitor. I just need to see who's coming towards me!
