Hey guys, here's my review of the Redtiger ViewClear 70 2-channel dashcam.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I did not pay for this dashcam. A big thank you to Redtiger for offering me the opportunity to test and review this dashcam.
First, a quick highlight of the primary specs according to the manufacturer...
Most car dealerships are privately owned entities, not owned by the car manufacturers themselves. That means that they (dealerships) can do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't breach whatever agreement they have with the manufacturer, and as long as it doesn't hurt or misrepresent the...
Hardwired the dashcam to the fusebox today. Not the cleanest install, but the box is a little big and the USB-C cable wasn't long enough.
I used the D.LOCK 25A fuse for constant power, and the F.OUTLET 15A fuse for ACC power.
I just finished dealing with some issues I was having regarding the Dongar Pro adapter for my 2022 Mazda CX-9, powering a Redtiger F17 Elite 3-channel dashcam.
Long story short, after some troubleshooting with Dongar's Live Chat, the current version of the Dongar Pro adapter isn't designed to...
I don't personally have a brand preference, but I like slant cut tips that follow the curve of the bumper. Colour/finish depends on your preference, but I like matte black or chrome.
For my CX-9, the OEM tips are spot welded to the exhaust pipe, so I had to get tips that slide over the OEM...
I'm a lot less particular about my tire pressures. Since I have two sets of wheels, I adjust the pressures when the wheels are swapped over. Aside from that, I just do a visual check before my commutes to work or before driving home, and I'll check pressures whenever I do any basic maintenance...
For the CX-5 and CX-9 turbo engines, Mazda has never (and currently still doesn't) require or even recommend full synthetic. As far as I know, there are no TSBs or anything of the like instructing techs to switch to full synthetic to solve "turbo issues".
I do agree that 5W-30 full synthetic...
Looks like the Dongar Pro module isn't going to cut it for me and this Redtiger F17 Elite 3-channel cam. I received confirmation that the adapter will work with Garmin, Nextbase and Vantrue dashcams with Parking Modes, and that they are working on an adapter that will work with Redtiger and...
I put a trickle charger on the battery overnight to prep it for winter. I think this is the OEM battery, which means it's probably at least 3 years old, which then means that I'll probably have to swap it out this year or next year. Our climate is hard on batteries.
Mounted the JB4 in the engine bay, secured the loose wiring with zipties and connected everything. Tested it out and everything seems to be working great. Back on Map 2.
