Just fitted a 2channel Thinkware F750 to my 2016 Ecoboost, followed an excellent guide on here.
I've ran the yellow cable i believe is B+ (continuous power) to fuse 2 which is Power mirror memory module. The fuse is there but i'm not sure if the UK cars have that feature? We have folding mirrors & electronically adjustable but i dont think they're memory. (I would assume if the fuse isn't used then its missing, otherwise it is used?)
I ran the red cable (ACC) to fuse 23 which is Switches, Power windows, Rear-view mirror.
The ground i ran to a screw which is just above the accelerator pedal in our cars (RHD remember), its next to the fuse box.
There's a couple of issues, first is even though i've turned on parking mode and motion detection, neither of those 2 features work.
Next is when i start the car it turns on and starts recording as expected, if i stop & restart the engine within say 15 minutes the camera doesn't turn back on and i have to do it manually. If i leave it for an hour or so it will automatically turn back on when the car is started.
Instance where that would happen is dropping into a store and getting back into the car within 15/20 minutes v's going to the office and leaving the car for a few hours.
Any ideas?
