Ensure Proper Power Connection
- Check if all cables are correctly connected. The Thinkware dash cam needs to be powered with a cable that supports parking mode.
- Verify that the hardwiring kit (if used) is properly connected to the car's fuse box and that the connections are secure.
- Make sure your vehicle’s battery voltage is adequate. When under voltage, parking mode may not function properly.
Check Dash Cam Settings
- Access the dash cam’s settings menu and ensure that parking mode is enabled.
- Review the parking mode settings for specific sensitivity levels and duration preferences that suit your needs.
- Update any outdated firmware. Manufacturers often release updates that improve performance or fix bugs.
Inspect Parking Mode Cables
- Examine the cables for any visible damage or wear and tear, which may affect connectivity and performance.
- Confirm that the cable connections have the correct specification and are exclusive for Thinkware dash cams.
Test the Vehicle Battery
- Check your vehicle’s battery condition by visiting a professional or using a multimeter to measure voltage levels.
- Replace or recharge the battery if voltage readings are low, ensuring enough power supply for the dash cam in parking mode.
Consult Customer Support
- Contact Thinkware's customer support for tailored advice concerning your specific model and concerns.
- Provide them with detailed observations and any error messages you encounter for informed guidance.
Professional Inspection
- If self-diagnosis doesn't fix the issue, take your vehicle to a professional specializing in automotive electronics.
