Re: 3g dongle problems

Hi Scottiedog123, I’m in Aberdeenshire and the giffgaff works great in Aberdeen but once you are out of the 4G Coverage it doesn’t seem to work. Also, if you are on the motorway (down south) it will work great when you start up in a service area but once you loose a signal it doesn’t seem to automat...

Re: Where can I download MAP software?

Try Navmii. Works well in UK and you can get European maps too.

Deleted Google play by mistake

Opps! Deleted Google Play by mistake. Guess as it's a system app I'll need to do a factory reset in future. Going to wait until something causes an issue. Anyone else been daft enough to delete something essential :o

Oh yes, is it possible to add the file via an SD card?

Cheers

Re: Rear Camera display fuzzy/out of focus

Hi FixedFixer, I saw your thread about the faulty camera and I think we are having/had different issues. Your camera was actually not engaging it seems, so your issue was different. How is the picture quality on your camera? Is it clear and sharp? Mine is blurry like a watercolor or a Monet paintin...

Re: Rear Camera display fuzzy/out of focus

You'll see from another tread that I had an issue with the clarity on my camera. It turned out to be a faulty camera. See the photos of the old and the new ones - the new one works at night and is far a superior quality. Might be that which is causing the problem.

Re: Dial and text with 3g dongle and active SIM

Just noticed this thread. I am using the dongle and use a standard GiffGaff Sim. It is 4G but all SIMs are backwards compatible. I did not have to get the provider GiffGaff do activate anything. The dongle however only works in a strong signal area. I was trying mine out in the country and had probl...

Re: Reversing camera

Neil, I googled reverse camera wiring diagrams and that gave me sufficient info on how to wire the relay. Buy a fused relay, replace stock fuse with something like a 3 amp as camera uses very little power. it's easier than you think to wire it up. Good luck.

Re: Reversing camera

Has the E39 got a lighter socket in the boot area? My both old E46 and E91 did. If so, then your best bet is to take a feed for power off that. Use a relay and have the activation by the reverse light - only powers when you select reverse. If you take a camera power feed direct of the reverse light ...

Re: 3G dongle

Over Christmas I drove 300 + miles on the motorway where I'd expect there to be a good 3G signal. I noticed that I had a signal when I started the journey but once it was lost the dongle / head unit didn't find a signal again when in middle of large city. If my passenger unplugged the dongle then pl...
