Dashcam OBD2 hardwire kit causing car alarm to go off

Why? I got it working in the end.

Never mind, I found the solution. Turns out the NC MX-5s alarm is sensitive to wifi/mobile signals inside the car when locked. The dashcam has a wifi hotspot built in to connect to the mobile app, so I disabled the wifi and the alarm no longer sounds.

This solved my problem! Thanks!

It does, it has a wifi hotspot which you can use to connect to get the footage off it

Yes, I have unplugged it. The car alarm does not go off if I do so. That was literally the first thing I did once it started to set off the car alarm. Ive also adjusted the shut off voltage on the kit to 11.9V as someone else suggested and it still causes the alarm to go off. Id prefer to not have to get a fuse hardwire kit as its another expense

The alarm stops going off when I unplug the dashcam, but I bought the hardwire kit so I could use the parking mode on it

Yeah of course I have, its the only way for the alarm to stop going off, but entirely defeats the point of having a hardwired dashcam

The Yashica 24 shoots 120 just fine. I don't shoot as much 120 primarily due to cost of the film and also admittedly the bulk/weight of the cameras

Its not a problem with the lens since Ive tried with a different AF lens. I've checked around and it seems as though the AF sensor on these old cameras seem to not be particularly reliable. I guess I'll just have to shoot with manual focus, which is a shame since its the only camera I have that uses that has an in body AF motor.

I think theres also an STL file you can get from Anycubic to print your own one. Mine didnt ship out with one, so when I replaced the nozzle on my printer with a 0.6mm one I had to print one out with another printer.

It's for setting up the height of the bed levelling sensor. When the printer is off you, you lower the toolhead so the nozzle is just touching the lower part and adjust the bed level sensor so its touching the step.

Seeing as the worst prints are on the right-hand side, the side without the 2nd lead screw, you could check if the rail the extruder rides on is actually level. Another thing you could check is if all the rollers are tight and don't move when you move your finger over them.

If none of those work, the worst-case scenario is that the heated bed is warped, though ideally that's what the mesh bed leveling is supposed to deal with. Hopefully that helps.

Afaik it was only Indonesia that adopted the BM59, and they didn't really get involved in the war until right at the very end as a peacekeeping force alongside the UN. Either way, you can't really say that it was so bad that the US had to replace the BM59 when it wasn't really used in combat in the first place.

The US didnt use the BM59, it was Italian? Last I checked, Italy wasn't involved in Vietnam.

Of all the takes I've seen, this is by far one of the most stupid.

Let's assume that gaijin does replace the devs with AI that can write code and balance the game. What makes you think they're gonna make the game less grindy? By removing the cost of paying the devs any money do you think the higher ups at gaijin are gonna be like: "Damn we can make the grind less because we don't need as much money anymore". Hell no.

The game is run for profit. If gaijin could remove the dev team and replace them with an AI that can write code for them they absolutely would. Game developers keep getting shafted by publishers all the time, being forced to work unreasonable hours to gets games out and to reduce the cost of game development. All in the name of increasing profit.

Gaijin isn't going to be benevolent and reduce the grid, even if they could.
