Mine works but I haven’t checked to see if it actually powers down that circuit. I have my detector set to power down if not in motion. I’ll check to see if the M1 DashCam shuts down next time I get a chance.
I also ditched the suction cup mount after it failed(first time that has happened to me with this style). I took a dremel to the mount. I cut a couple of slots in the plastic shroud and was able to pass the mount through the slots. The end result looks great. My only issue that I need to fix is that I now have a rattle coming from inside the shroud.
Not quite:Where I live, Washington, it is illegal to attach things to the windshield.
is it easy to open up the cover on the R1s?Just finished my install using the wire tap and the mount that uses 3M tape. Worked in my S6 so it should work here.
It took just a little more force than what I was comfortable with.is it easy to open up the cover on the R1s?
The detector does power off. I can't say exactly how long it takes for that to occur, but it eventually powers off.If the the detector does not power off, can it potentially drain the 12v batteries or is that mirror tap powered from the pack? Confused about when and how the 12v batteries are bieng used or if the truck keeps them charged automatically when parked and locked?
+1 on this...I've checked it many times and it's off (also not sure how long it takes) as well as noticing the detector "boot-up" when the truck wakes up.The detector does power off. I can't say exactly how long it takes for that to occur, but it eventually powers off.
If you do the math even if it is on continuously, the draw is so small that it wouldn’t put a ding in 12v capacity. It is drawing almost nothing.If the the detector does not power off, can it potentially drain the 12v batteries or is that mirror tap powered from the pack? Confused about when and how the 12v batteries are bieng used or if the truck keeps them charged automatically when parked and locked?
