  • Sayang naman yung phone holder ko... bili na lang bago. :(
  • is a HUD bawal sa distracted driving law?





    I can think of 2 palusot
    1. the device itself where all the electronics is is behind the "hump" i.e. behind the dashboard and does not interfere with the view

    2. if this is not bawal because its not elecronics/a gadget




    then the reflector (if its separate from the HUD) is also not bawal since its not electronic
  • Nagkaubusan nang mga aircon vent celphone mounts sa mga celphone stores. Ginawa ko muna yung suction cup mount ko, sa driver's side window ko dinikit. Bukas pinto na lang pag magbabayad nang ticket sa parking etc.
  • Sakin naman nasa may A-pillar pa din cellphone mount.

    I tend not to abide stupid "laws" like this.

    magada sana, silicone ang suction.

  • ^di naman nag tatagal ang dikit niyan sa dash board. natatanggal din, mag lagay ako mamaya ng double adhesive tape.
  • Pati ba roll up tint eh bawal sa batas na to?
  • ako naman ang concern ko ngayon, dash cam + mount ko mejo mahaba,
    hindi kaya matago fully beside ng rear view mirror, may naka protrude na around 1.5 - 2 inches below mirror
    baka pati yun masilip, kakailanganin pa magpalit ng camera

    But Lizada explained that placing “defective, improper or unauthorized accessories” like rosaries, trinkets, etc., will be deemed a violation—not of the ADDA—but of Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01 issued by the LTFRB and LTO three years ago.

    mas malaki nga pala ang dp520 vs dp220 ano?
    kung ~2" baka pwede na iyan, off mo na lang siguro yung playback para hindi masyado obvious.
    sinagad ko na ng taas yung dp220 ko, less than half inch na lang ang usli nya sa rear view mirror ko.

    edit:

    check mo paps yung link ni pilio, may bago na naman yata restrictions sa dash cams.

    and gagana ba yan ng hindi nakasaksak ang cable? I mean nag chacharge din ba yan?

    malabo. the capacitor is equivalent to a tiny battery, just enough for the camera to finish writing the last video clip to the SD card when the power is out. Maybe at most a few minutes

    ayaw ko kasing naka plug yung cable. gusto ko charge lang ako ng charge.
  • Why worry about charging pa? The dash cam should be a permanent device in your car. Install and forget lang.
  • @statix

    mas mahaba pa ata yung dp220 sa dp520, mas malapad nga lang yung 520
    dahil lang ata sa angle/ incline ng windshield ko, kaya parang ang liit ng space na hindi nakaharang sa line of view

    anyway, sinagad ko na itaas and may natira pa ring more than an inch, pwede na siguro yun, hehe
  • @vladz

    go na yan. asa top dash cams yang A118C (better sana kung A119) at alam ko, original na branding niyan ay VIOFO.

    ok na iyan.
    alam mo ginawa ko bro sa dp220 ko?
    kinulayan ko pa ng black marker yung silver ring sa lens, pati yung brand & wifi markings >.<
    i hate it pero lalo na sya discreet ngayon. ewan ko na lang kung masilip pa ng mga bus3t 'to.

  • sa mga naka ford car na bago, totoo bang kailangan pa dalhin sa Ford Casa yung sasakyan if pinalitan ng battery dahil na-clear yung memory ng ECU? hassle naman. ganun daw ecosport.
  • @all

    alam ko nabanggit na ito before kaso hindi ko mahanap sa prev pages... ano uli yung magandang 3M double sided pad pamalit sa default ng dashcam at phone holders? thanks.

    not sure but this seems to be a similar problem


    Assault with battery

    21 May 2012


    Q I have a 2007 BMW 525i that has about 105 000 km on it. It won’t be long until I need to replace the battery. The dealer says that I should let him do it so he can reset the computer’s charging circuit. He says if I replace it myself, the battery won’t charge properly. Can I do this myself and somehow reset the computer?

    A Your BMW, being “ze ultimate driving machine”, actually tracks the battery’s charge and discharge cycles and predicts its usable life. When the car’s computer decides that a battery is up for replacement, the driver gets a warning that can’t be cleared unless a new battery is installed and the car is hooked up to a service tester at the BMW dealer. This registration process records the car’s age and mileage and resets the battery-life monitor. This isn’t to say you can’t simply swop the battery yourself – you absolutely can. However, you need to know that the warning light will never go away and that you’ll
    be responsible for tracking when to replace the battery.

  • Kakabili ko lang ng DP200 kahapon. Medyo blurry/blocky lang sa gabi.

    Not sure if defective nakuha ko or dahil naka medium tint kase ako sa harap.

    Light rubbing compound or a polishing compound would do the trick. You could even use WD40. :)
  • TheUninvited

    Na-try niyo view sa desktop/laptop? Sa youtube kasi, yung samples nila malinaw naman. Grainy, pero readable yung mga plate number nang mga nasa harap niya

  • ^tama lang. Over-reaching na yung batas nila at parang mali intindi nila sa original na intent nung batas na ipagbawal lang ang pagtetext at pagtawag gamit ang celphone habang nagmamaneho.

    Rosary bawal? Miske yung roll-up sun shield bawal? Sobrang gulo nang mga utak nila mag-isip.
  • ^ boss JAO na 2014 daw yung para sa mga abubot sa dash at sa rear view mirror

    pa TRO na dapat yan!
