.......and breath :sadlike:

This may help, it save on time, unlock car plug it in to 12v lighter socket and hey presto battery reading, has to be better than popping the bonnet and fiddling about if all you want is a quick reading (I find it very useful)...

ok mate hope you finally get it sorted

Not happening on my DR500, can you test the battery after you have unlocked to see if the battery is any where near the 11.8v ? or even have a tester on the battery when locking and unlocking to see if the voltage dips ?

Wish I could help mate but mine was professionally fitted so have no idea what could be wrong

I cant help but.....did you enjoy Glastonbury ? you was at the music festival ?

In the boot......must admit I never had a car with the battery in the boot, is it that big it fills the boot lol

Guess a lot of it depends on engine size and type to what size battery you have, obviously diesels take a lot more amps to crank over than a small petrol like mine :laugh:

AK47UK I found this item handy, gave me a good idea how fast the drain was http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001VC4PVG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They sent me a new unit, fitted the new one and no more battery drain so I deduced it was a faulty head unit

Fingers crossed AK47UK :racer: Get the jump starter ready just incase lol

When I had battery drain from my Zenec stereo and the volts in the battery got to 10.7v it was not enough to turn the car over, mine is set at 12v

Not taking long then, something drawing a lot of power, just like that Zenec problem I had, I guess you are positive it is the camera doing the draining

how long do you think it takes for battery to drain to a point the car wont start? over 12 hours?

I am guessing that the firmware and options maybe different between the models, I asume the hour setting is on the PMP ? *edit I arrive at work at 7am, When I get home and check the memory card recordings mine has gone all the way through to it capturing me walking to my car at 4.30pm .....so...

I have mine set to motion detect, sensitivity quite high, so in my works car park where people are always coming and going it records 3 min slots all through the day, its not set to record none stop as I find it pointless but it will start recording soon as something moves in to its field of vision

Hey AK47UK When I had my DR500GW installed it was recomended that I use the "Smart Power Battery Monitor" instead of the Power Magic Pro, I have never had any problems from this and it does cut the camera off when the car battery hits 12v (will only work if camera is in parking mode)
