Hi all,
Just purchased this for delivery tomorrow....
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/B07V97GNGN....and wondered if I could pick some brains here!
Am I correct in thinking that the Neo6 output cable supplied consists of three wires (yellow, red and black) that are simply spliced into the same coloured three wires of the Thinkware F770 (Battery+, Acc and Ground)?
Does the existing ground of the F770 installation remain connected to a bolt near the fuse box? Or does the the grounding get 'picked up' or shared from the hardwired power connection of the input cable of the Cellink?
.....in other words do I literally unplug the piggy back fuse of the dash cam from the fuse box, replace the original car fuse (obviously) minus the piggy back, then splice the six wires together without the ground wire being bolted down?
I'm all fine with the power input on the Neo6 side of things.
....and finally do I need to alter any settings in the 'Parking Mode' of the dash cam (currently set to motion detection and 12 hours shut down or highest voltage setting drop whichever comes first)?
Reason I'm doing this guys is, despite what 'Thinkware' claim, I've noticed a definite reluctance lately of my car to enter 'Start & Stop' mode (which I know is dependent on a few other variables i.e. engine temperature etc.)
I think the battery is recovering for a while from the drain placed on it from the dash cam overnight.
Many thank you's for any help or advice!
Bob
