You shared it with a dick.

This video is going around my Volvo circles right now, some guys in an S60R get lucky and spot a friend's stolen S60 and chase it down to a happy ending.

My Mobius isn't powering on - pushing the power button with or without a card in or with or without the camera plugged in yields the same flash pattern:

After all that excellent commentary and driving, it;s really disappointing that they missed the money shot

The help section on the möbius website explains the blink patterns. I believe there is also a hard reset thingy you can actuate with a paper clip?

Red suv's are the best drivers on the road. I do like how the morning show I was listening too happened to play a clip of the new Adele song for exactly the right moment to catch this video. I went with the mini 0806 btw. I see crazy stuff at least once a week. We'll see how often I feel like uploading it. At least YouTube lets me edit video's easily.

Jesus, kid, you're almost a detective. All you need now is a gun, a gut, and three ex-wives.
Just installed this today, hopefully I'll be able to pull some test footage soon but I can't imagine it'd be worse than my G1W




I also really appreciated that they (blackboxmycar.com) included a trim tool, I was about to buy one off amazon. I also like that I can connect it to my car stereo to act as a rearview camera when reversing.

I bought a Mobius a few months ago, I only recently started putting it on the dash while driving around. I'm already getting a collection of pet peeves and close calls, with more every day.

I think it is the person with the dash am crossing all lanes to the left and then back again to the right in what I'm guessing was way too close proximity to the VW.

But to be fair wide angle distorts speed and distances so it could have been fine.

I probably do get too close but I saw this fool coming as soon as he started pulling in from the left so I was pretty much waiting for it to happen. I almost look forward to getting to use my horn now, that probably isn't healthy...

Maybe it's the wide angle but that guy in the black VW was driving quite fast but started slowing down right next to me then matched speed as I was approaching another car so I was boxed in.

Lmao you would lose your mind in California if that's the type of lane change that makes you get on your horn

Asides from him having to brake hard in the middle of the lane change, I see nothing out of the ordinary

Agreed, and bothering to use his signal already puts him in like the top 10% of safe and courteous drivers in Dallas (and probably every other large city). If that's all it takes to bug you out then you must commute in some kind of Scandinavian traffic etiquette utopia :norway:

I just changed my Mobius battery for a supercap in preparation for summer, looks like I was just in time, the one on the left is a brand new battery the right is what was in my camera.

The only tricky part was making a new ball joint.

For that I stuck a bunch of epoxy on the end of a screw and used my drill like a lathe to make it round.

Is it just me or do they seem like right cunts forcing the truck driver off the road. I doubt the truck driver would have cared because stuff all damage, and now they're going to be running late. Driver of the black car could have just googled the company and sent them a text admitting fault and their details :v:

Also, holy poo poo 8ender pulling over near the rails where you did. I just did a mental "oh, the driver is on the left", and leaving a chance of yourself and/or your car being cleaned up by an equally lovely driver as the one in the black car. Not a zero chance with rubbernecking AND lovely drivers.
Stopping further off the road and closer to the protection of the truck would have been better.

It's not in this clip but I thought the same thing before I opened the door, and backed up and further into the shoulder immediately after.

Yea, I bet the truck driver is happy you had it too, with the way that guy (or gal) who hit him was driving, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they lied about what happened and tried to somehow blame it on the truck driver.

Stopping and giving that to the police was the right thing to do. Thank you.

Edit: Was that person honking at the truck driver, or did the impact make the horn get stuck on?

Saw the Cobra CDR-840 on sale for $80 at Costco and it looks good but wanted a second opinion. Half my driving is night driving on a very brightly lit freeway (the new section of I96 in Livonia for Michigoons).

I don't see much interesting, but for that price it's in my "eh, why the gently caress not" range. One for up front, one for in back a good idea?

OR, does anyone know of a dashcam system that's wifi capable so my kids can watch the road from the back seat? My daughter loves seeing the backup cam come onscreen in my car and thought it would be a cool idea.

The camera seems good (have one for my wife's car) but it's seen very little use because the suction cup is garbage. I think I've got a line on a mount that will be both much more solid and tuck it up closer to the windshield, I just need to measure.
