What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

thats a nice lexus. My friend has a 1991 and a 1995 Lexus LS400 and both are slammed

 

thanks! I no longer want to ride slammed, I’m on KW V3s and it’s a comfy ride at this height.

 

I have to "join" mine every time I connect to it. Do you get the message asking to join the camera network?

 

I do and it fails to connect EVERY TIME. I’m actually on my second one since I thought it was something wrong with the first one I got.

 

Make sure the phones Bluetooth is disconnected from the truck. If mine is connected to the truck it won't connect to the camera at the same time.

 

Oh god that sounds awful. Do you need it connected to the camera all the time or just to change settings/aim it? I always use Bluetooth for music in the truck. I couldn’t switch back and forth all the time.

 

I've had mine in my truck roughly ~2 months now. I've had no issues thus far. I'm not sure what everyone else is running as far as phones go, but mine is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. I'm able keep the phone's Bluetooth connected to the truck even when I have to turn on wifi to download an image or small video.

However, I do agree, even using the app, aiming it can be somewhat problematic. Doesn't always look right.

As you can tell from this photo earlier today , this probably needs a small amount of adjusting.

 

The phone only needs to be connected to aim it, look at or download clips. The cam churns away on its own recording all it sees when powered on.

Edit: I don’t download anymore. Just remove the sd card and transfer the clips to the computer.

 

I had issues with mine when pairing. When my iPhone asked me to join the network, I had to back out and manually connect to the camera’s WiFi rather than letting it connect for me. Kind of a pain but otherwise it’s flawless.

 

I got it to finally connect to my iPad when I had it connected to power inside my house but of course as soon as I reconnected it in the truck and tried again with the iPad it failed.

 

Installed gloss black door handle covers from ebay today.

 

Im running an exhaust just like this from MRBP and love it. I’ve always had exhaust systems as well as many other mods on every vehicle I’ve ever owned. A ton of people on here have bashed these “pre-axle” dumps due to the loud dB’s they put out and a “drone” sound... the only time I’ve ever second guessed this set up was a 2hr ride hauling about 3000lbs on a trailer through back roads... then it was a bit loud, but only because the trans kept dropping into lower gears and winding them out a bit longer into the RPM’s. Kept the stock exhaust just in case, but I have no regrets with mine! Love the deeper tone!

 

I think the Garmin mini creates its own WiFi network, not through Bluetooth.

 

DIY bhlm. Will finish and install tomorrow hopefully

 

It’s usb powered? Have you tried a different port, like a charging one instead of the media one?

 

I’m using a Dongar adapter to get USB power off of the mirror so that shouldn’t be an issue.

 

Have you tried it in a usb just to see if that works? Shouldn’t be any different but worth a try

 

DIY Tailgate insert. I used the same 1/2" HDPE that mountain hatch uses, and added a couple cup holders, and spots for phones/tools, or whatever. Cost about $110, plus time.

 

Dang man! Make me one?? Looks legit!
