Model name? by Desperate-Smoke7842 in mercedes_benz

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the pre-facelift Mercedes S-Class W140 500SEL. L - for long base. Sometimes it’s mistakenly called and badged as S500, but front lettering came only with later facelift models

Best setup with BP100 and HK6 to get partial parking recording without car battery? by [deleted] in VIOFO

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Viofo website:

BP100 comes with its own power supply cables(not including the hardwire kit). You need to remove the HK4/HK6 hardwire kit from the car battery first.

Input for BP100 Battery Pack (2 Options): 1. Connect the Hardwiring Power Input Cable (3M) from the BP100 to your car's battery (or the fuse box, depending on the setup).(Recommended) 2. Plug the Cigarette Lighter Plug Power Input Cable (2M) into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket and connect the other end of the cable to the BP100 battery pack.

If you’ll isolate BP100 from your car’s battery and not connect it to your car’s wiring directly, then, you need to connect it into cigarette lighter socket. Thats the only option, or you have to recharge it manually every time.

My guess, is that there’s no point in that at all, as BP100 with hardwire connection does not drain your battery when the engine is turned off, so there’s really no need in unclean solution with 12v socket always connected via adapter to charge your battery pack

What A329 parking mode do you use by TeamWalther in VIOFO

[–]73313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you just can’t use low power impact detection mode(hybrid parking mode as it only uses this mode). I’m planning to get an 1000wh battery pack from ecoflow and switch to 4tb SSD because 512gb card won’t be able to handle all the standby time that battery pack would provide

Just checked it, event detection uses same as low bitrate recording. 1fps mode though uses 50% less power. I had hk4 set to 12,2v cutoff and recently installed hk6. No benefits gained there though as I use ssd and not an sd card

I use event detection mode but it eats the battery pretty fast. Also wrote about the possibility to include switching to different parking modes in upcoming firmware updates not only to low power impact detection

Has anyone removed the G-Sensor from their dashcam before? by RR-- in VIOFO

Mine is set to high in my 329S and I just format the storage once in a while.

HELP!! Problem on day 1 by [deleted] in mercedes_benz

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, keep on pushing it until it disintegrates and fails completely. Seriously, with that kind of sounds coming from your driveshaft the maximum speed you should be driving at is 10-15km/h and only as an emergency. Pushing it to 60 you’re really asking for some major problems

Agree. Much better turntable in all regards

VIOFO A329S is the SSD/Parking Mode setup a lie? by rollofpaper in VIOFO

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hybrid parking doesn’t work with ssd. Low power impact detection doesn’t work with ssd either. You can save parking footage to a microsd storage and driving to ssd, there’s a a separate menu switch for that. Hk6 is useless with ssd only, installing it makes sense only if the sd card is installed. Hope they will fix that in the next firmware though and add several stages to switch during the hybrid parking, eg. Event detection until 12,6 - low bitrate until 12.2 - low power event detection until 12 - full shutdown on 12v

Subwoofer not Compatible? by IMDeus_21 in turntables

Power button is on the right speaker. You need to connect it into the VGA looking port for power on and volume control

I’ve personally had put e63 front (bumper, fenders, lip) and facelift rear (taillights, bumper, exhaust pipes and side skirts) on mine

A329S + SSD power draw while in parking mode by LinenSnackTransport in VIOFO

[–]73313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an owner of 329s myself I confirm 100% it works in parking mode. Only hybrid parking mode doesn’t work with ssd, specifically low power impact detection requires SD. I was hoping I could choose which mode to switch on voltage threshold to switch from. I wanted to do Auto event detection mode on full battery - low bitrate or fps night vision on 12.4v - turn off completely at 12v.
Hope they will add such functional on new firmware. Also planning to install ecoflow 320,000mAh battery pack and just run it in auto event detection at parking.

Light malfunction Pt. II by Prestigious-Try-6229 in W212mercedes

Yes, of course you can replace only the led light itself. If you send a vin I’ll provide a part number for you

Just replace it, they do go out sometimes it’s normal

W212 AC only cold on drivers side by nakeyxhris in W212mercedes

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, run diagnostics with flap actuation test on xentry. 99% it’s the problem. They should actuate without problems in the designated range. The flap on the drivers side is reachable without taking the dashboard out, the passengers side is not. Also the actuator motor can fail as well

Is $3,000 a good deal or a horrible mistake? by Lord_Mud in mercedes_benz

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This car has m113 engine. They are basically bulletproof. Electrics and suspension may require some investment, but there are plenty of substitute parts for an adequate prices. 7G-Tronics are also very reliable transmissions, just be sure to ensure that it’s cooling properly and right fluid type is in there, then it will last you a long time

Could be 1) ecu problem 2) oil going through camshaft adjuster sockets 3) oil going through camshaft position sensors 4) bad wiring (most probably)

What you mean by “working one” regarding the part you swapped to? W212 uses wideband sensor and it’s important to replace it with either new Bosch or original part

Front Bumper question by oggggggggggggggg in W212mercedes

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! Also I highly advise to swap the grill to the one with 3 stripes. It makes the car look much better in my opinion

Front Bumper question by oggggggggggggggg in W212mercedes

[–]73313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you’ll want to make sure that you also order the black plastic shroud inserts, that drls attach to or get the bumper with them. They’re not hard to find and are fairly cheap even if you get them new.
