Ummm like 50% of them. Isn't there like a 100k build on sau that was built for track, but then got a new paint job and sponsors and isn't Road legal and doesn't hit the track? It's usually at WTAC..... On display...

Saw one today in FTG, probably the same one

Yeah that's where we were. BUL-V10 was the plate. He certainly wasn't afraid of speeding tickets, but most Lambo owners wouldn't be.

I've been researching heaps lately, the one I'm about to get is the BlackVue DR650S-2CH

Great sound, build quality, front and rear camera, parking mode, gps, amazing night quality.
No screen, but you just open up the BlackVue Cloud app on your phone and connect to it to change settings, browse, playback or save the files.

This guy tests a lot of dash cams. This one is one of his recommend buys, though it's not cheap.

 

In Canada, where this guy is from, the OPIA2 looks to be about the same price as the DR650S-1CH, and the DR650S-2CH that I'm after (rear facing camera as well) is about $120 more

I bought the LCD backpack for my GoPro 1 for like $150 and that worked fantastically for framing and review. Added extra buttons and a speaker too, which made the interface much more friendly...all GoPros should come with them.

i had that as well and did like it.

 

however mine is mounted on the scaffolding in the back of the car, so I cannot get behind it anymore

or else I'm mounting under the number plate so cannot see back again.

 

so the bluetooth to phone makes life so much easier.

plus start and stop recording buttons when strapped in seat so not recording that 10 min sitting on pre grid

They've come a long way since version 1 which had the market to itself and made a household name. Then they had to play catch up on features a bit like Apple with the iPhone

Speaking of, I wonder if anything will ever dethrone Google...cannot imagine it happening.

They will likely attempt to buy out and integrate anything that they perceive as superior.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
