I was down near Bunbury area for the weekend. When I got back yesterday, I found the box hidden behind a pot plant.No signature required, which annoyed me.Oh well, now I got to get me the power magic pro so I can do the installation on the weekend.I plan on hidding the cables in the A coloum covers.Might take some pics and do a write up.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 14d Gender: Male Posted 09/10/13 04:45 AM Share Posted 09/10/13 04:45 AM Everything works fine on the camera. Very easy to setup/use/playback on the laptop.My G6e has the push button light switches right behind the rear vision mirror. Its a permanent positive but I was thinking of connecting power somewhere in there even if I have to put a switch there to turn it off rather than threading a line all the way down the pillar.The unit works of 12-24V so it could be wired directly with a fuse.Anyone wired from there before? any issues?

masda74 To Loud Gold Donating Members 4,112 Member For: 13y 13d Gender: Male Location: WA, Perth Posted 09/10/13 12:46 PM Share Posted 09/10/13 12:46 PM I picked up the Power magic pro today from radar's direct.What an interesting chat that was. Almost got asked to leave the shop when I mentioned that I bought my camera online through massdrop.Told him I found out about their shop afterwards when looking for the Power magic pro.I got the Power magic pro regardless, but he was NOT impressed.anyways, I have powered up the camera and was impressed with all the audio from the lady.then came the boring stuff. downloaded the android app and that was wicked how you could use the live view.Then I turned it all off and came inside to download the firmware.it is going to take 2 hours and a bit to download a 44mb file.W.T.F?Did it take you guys this long to download?I have just downloaded something else and it came down at 900kb, no problems and finished in 20 seconds.I paused the firmware download and then started it again. 3.4k/secARGGGG frustrating.
