That's fine great Stan - what I also was after was which was best to choose - I am guessing the one that 'drives' the cigar lighter socket, but would welcome any comments - don't really want to mess to much with FFRR electrics in the unknown -----------------------------

the ciggy socket would be the best one , also it depends if you need permanent live or ignition live only.. ... - .- -.

Ain't it friendly here? In another thread I'll catch peeps up with my FFRR history

I bought a decent one and I leave it fixed in the car. It's not really that noticeable but if in doubt it's so easy to remove when you leave the vehicle parked.

Well ordered an 0803 mini dash cam a few weeks back after reading about it on here and a few other sites.
But I just had to get rid of the default boot/shut-down image.
So of to the dash cam site I went to find out how to change it for something more fitting.
Download the software so I could edit the file and re-flashed the firmware on the cam all done in about 30min

Old image

welshdragon did that on his 0801 (page 3) .....looks good. ... - .- -.

Top job Joncey, much better than the old start up picture. If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

@joncey, maybe you could link the firmware here and do a quick how to for anyone else who has a 0801/0803 rather than peeps having to troll through dashcam.com... .. ... - .- -.

Well a new dash camera has been fitted to the FF.....at the rear and can be used as a back up cam or a rear view mirror when traveling forwards!

Pictures to follow on a new thread soon.

Edit, new thread on rear camera. http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic27439.html If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Hi All

As promised I have put together some instructions on how to edit the start up and shut down logos for the the mini 0803 dashcam this should also work on the 0801 as well but I have never tried it.
