I got the V.I.O POV.1 I love it it's rather expensive much more then the go pro, but I saw someone with it snowboarding on their helmet...Lets just Say I'm happy I stuck with my decision, I love it quality is awesome it's tiny and it's very versatile

I saw the Go Pro Hero in issue 72 of AutoSalon... ...Think this might be the one I get... ...It seems to also be the only unit in the market that is Mac compatible...

Just a few things keeping me back... ...It says it can only have 2Gb SD cards... ...I've got a few 8Gb SD cards lying around since I changed to a Sony "happy snapper" and had to invest in new cards... ...It seems to only run off batteries... ...I'd like to see a lighter plug power version... ...No "Shock Record" with leading buffer... ...If you're out in the street and happen to be in an accident it would be great if it could start recording with a few minutes pre-recorded before the accident...

There was a duel camera setup (outside and inside the car) a few issues ago in AutoSalon that had the features that I want... ...However it isn't Mac compatible... ...So no go for me...

If the little Hero could take bigger cards and record longer with bigger cards... ...then I would get it...

I think they have a newer model which can read the larger SD cards now, something they didn't tell me when they sold me my Hero off the shelf... probably getting rid of old stock and it was more expensive than if I bought it from Lucas. Oh well.

Picture quality is 'okay' for the price, but I wasn't happy with the sound or the vibration (which I fixed by wrapping gaffa tape around it, I know this isn't hard to do, but another process all the same).

Look closely at the picture (when all is still) and you will see a heat like warp in the picture, sometimes its much worse and I think its electrical interference

Still haven't bought a mount yet... I really want to get one for PI. The clamp style is my preference to clamp onto my half cage. It's a pity there is no one locally who makes one..

I got me a Go Pro Hero Wide MotorSport kit... ...I ordered it from the U.S. and it arrived yesterday... ...It will be coming out on the next cruise for sure...

I use a VIO POV helmet camera which came with a mount which holds the tiny camera on with really strong magnets. Quality is ok. Here is a pic of it on my roof.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
