Show off your dashcam memory card install

[csharp]

If you want to play the videos from the Gear Guard drive in sync with each other heres an example. Basically using an app owners made for doing it for tesla (https://sentrycam.appspot.com/) and then renaming the files to be like the Tesla files.

cool that it works for Rivian video once you change the file names. Hopefully someone will come up with something for Rivian specific so we dont have to change the file name.

OK, I ordered the Anker, which I haven't tried yet. Fingers crossed. Wanted to double check it wasn't that one. Thanks.

Did your setup work with the Anker card reader? Truck just completed the update, had that card reader and a Sandisk 256GB High endurance card (brand new), passed the first two steps (recognize and format), then failed on the speed test. the card says it does 40Mb/s and the truck says it only needs 20 Mb/s if I remember correctly. Not sure if the issue is the card or the reader. Got the card from B&H photo since I heard about possible knockoffs on Amazon...

Based on your comment, I tried it, too, and it's pretty clean!

I just ordered @cohall solution, too. I'll try both and see what I like better.

I did the same, and that supplied USB-C cord is the perfect length for the drive to stay secured in that strap. Although, I will switch it to the other side like yours since the words being upside down bothers me a little.

Things I learned today... There is a strap in the cavern!

Went the recommended route, a right angle adapter is probably better than this 90 degree …

I discovered that there are two tiny little lights in there. Pretty cool little addition. I don't think I have ever seen lights in an armrest console, but again, this one is massive so probably necessary.

Finally got the last piece for my setup. Most of it is like others here, but I added the retractable usb-c + lightning cable to charge my iPad or my wife’s phone (she likes to use it while it’s charging).

I haven’t been able to get the Anker to work consistently (ordered from Amazon). It formatted and passed all the tests and I recorded a short video. Left the truck and came back and it said no card was setup. If I pull the microsd card and put it back into the anker the truck recognizes it again. So basically with the anker every time the truck stops I have to re-plug-in the microsd card.

not exactly a workable solution. I am going to try to order a different usb-c to microsd adapter: SmartQ C356 Type C (same one others have linked to in this thread) from Amazon.

USB what? Stick? SDD? MicroSD? I put heat sinks on my MicroSD for good measure.

What brand/product is your micro SD reader?

Would you mind linking to your micro SD reader?

Just ordered the USB cable and Velcro. Thanks!

Same, thank you!!

Everything seems to have gone fine for the update, formatting, and setup. But after a drive, there are no Drive Cam videos unless I press the button to manually initiate a 2 min clip. A soft reset didn't help. Anyone else see this?

Did you pull your drive and hook up to computer?

The drive cam doesn't show in the UI - only the incidents and selecting the button I believe (horn honk, hard brake, etc).

Otherwise for the full drive, you need to look at the files on the drive from another device.

Adding in case anyone is wondering. I picked up a Microcenter USB Type C 3.1 256GB stick. ($19 via Amazon, less at Microcenter) and it works perfectly fine with the new dash cam software. Plugged in, formatted, passed speed test.
