Received my SG9665GC and Cellpower hardwire adapter a couple of days ago and just got around to installing it today. Relatively straightforward install with the hardest part being getting the cover to the fuse panel off my Silverado! I took my sweet time getting the wires tucked away and zip tied into place along the A pillar and made darn sure I had the camera, wire hider and GPS where I wanted them before sticking them onto the windshield. I purchased my camera from Amazon and was fortunate to receive the GPS that was already equipped for window mount so I didn't have to tear it apart and swap the circuit board. There was seemingly a lot of excess GPS wire so it took some time to tuck it all away under the headliner.
Couple of questions for now with more likely to follow as I become more familiar with how everything operates.
What is the benefit to using the GPS in the first place? Right now I also have my speed enabled but I might be turning that off unless it serves some important purpose.
I haven't installed the CPL filter yet, but after viewing my first couple of drives I think that will go on tomorrow to hopefully help with some of the glare. Is there anything else I should adjust to make sure I'm getting optimal recording quality?
I can honestly say it took exactly one block on my first drive after installing to capture a driver running a red light. Once I figure out how to save drives and upload them perhaps I will have other fine maneuvers to showcase. After all these bozos are the reason I ordered a cam in the first place.
EDIT: I forgot to ask if it is recommended to keep multiple cards on hand and if 32 or 64gb cards will suffice for normal daily driving with the occasional 3 hour drive?
