I have the Mini 0801 as well, but I haven't got around to fitting it properly yet. Seemed to work just fine with the brief test I gave it.

I mounted my Mini 0801 up behind my rear view mirror, it gives it a nice central view, and I can't see it from my driving position. Hard to see it from outside as well, which is good. I'm getting a little bit of reflection from my dash, but nothing problematic:

SPP seems to be held up by the traffic taking the next exit round on the roundabout, and accelerates out of it pretty much normally. The crossover driver doesn't decide to make an overtake on the van until SPP is already on his corner, and tries to pull out without indicating or shoulder-checking properly. Didn't commit to accelerating out of the roundabout, and gave the distinct impression that he was going to pause behind the van. Though SPP's

The Subaru's lighter socket is ignition switched, so I wired a second socket on a short lead into the wiring going to it (usefully, there is a 3" section that connects between the socket and the loom, so I could remove it and do it on a table) and just plugged the adaptor which came with the camera into that, tucked behind the dash.

Winter tyres out of snow are nowhere near as bad as non-winter tyres in snow, but they are noticeably "chewy".

I cocked up with mine the first time and set the power-off (turn everything off) instead of the screen-off timer. You sure you haven't done the same?

Note that they're the same housing as the more expensive ones, but the internals are different.

Actually, I may be completely wrong, I was thinking of Mini 0801s, because I just had a conversation with a friend about the exact same thing. Bugger, sorry about that.

I hate being on the end of a queue like that, when there's plenty of time for you to all clear the junction, but the car in front of you decides they need to drive at walking pace.

I wire a second lighter socket into the switched feed, but on a short lead behind the dash panel, and plug the supplied cord into that.

Oh, and my Mini 0801 is doing the "not always recording" thing, generally being ok if I reformat the card. Try a different card, yes? It's the one that was supplied with it.

If your car has a rear 12v socket, a normal dashcam either end is probably the easiest to do.

Zero VGS posted:Caught my first... interesting thing on my cam, not sure if it's interesting to post though. Some guy had his bike rack completely obscuring his license plate, no bike on it. I pulled up next to him and told him the cops might stop him for that. He's like, "oh, I know" and gives me a thumbs up and grin. Is he planning to rob a bank or something?
