That’s ok we will give you one get out of jail free card lol
Didn’t work for me, I’ve been “censored” a few times.
No the issue is I can’t find the posts he’s referring to lol
You only have to ask, I’m sure he will point you in the right direction....
I told you it wasn’t a challenge
It was humorous I thought, a bit on the edge for the forum maybe but who knows. Could be nothing, could be someone gets their knickers twisted over it. Weird thing is it was in reply to something else and even that person hasn’t commented and I know they’ve been online since.

sometimes I like a good stir
Im sure if was that bad one of the other mods would have picked it up. I didnt look for it and won’t either. As you are an upholding citizen and member of the forum like many other Aussies we know your intentions are good and justified. Even my posts get deleted by other mods. That’s one of the challenges of being a mod is that you will always cop some flak whatever we do.I told you it wasn’t a challenge
So I disconnected the cameras today prior to service because the dealership has signs up everywhere in the service department saying to turn them off for “security reasons and privacy of staff and customers” seriously an empty car with a working dash camera is a security threat. Anyway once I got it back and connected it up I changed the setting from 12v to 12.5v. Drove home tonight, about 45 minutes at freeway speeds so the battery should be fully charged. Pulled into the garage, turned the engine off and before I’d even opened the drivers door the camera says “powering down” and shuts itself off. I opened the fuse box to make sure I’d actually switched the power magic pro on, and sure enough it’s in the on position with no power light. Looks like my battery is running lower than it should given you run yours at 12.5v with no issues, or maybe my Stinger just doesn’t like it. Odd thing is according to the paperwork I got from the service they checked the battery and “printed results” I didn’t see the results, but they said everything was fine.
Interesting keep us posted with any further developments.
I often hear it say powering down if I open the tailgate or sometimes even just the drivers door. It did it again tonight when I was leaving work but it was parked from 5:40am to about 6:30pm so I got just over the 12hrs but as soon as it used power to open the tailgate it packed it in. That’s with it set to 12v. I should’ve asked the service department about it yesterday, but I doubt they’d help, they insist on turning the camera off while it’s there so makes it hard to test. Oh I also got the starter battery discharge warning when I kicked the engine over.
So I'm happy to be wrong, but the mention of 12.3V/smart alternator isn't that the car needs 12.3V to start, it's that when the battery is healthy and the engine is running the alternator drops its output to 12.3V(its an emission reduction thing, and its why the old voltage sensitive relays for fridges and whatnot don't work so well anymore and everyone has to buy dc/dc converters to compensate for the new smart alternators)
Interesting what you say about the smart alternator, I didn’t know that. I’m by no means a mechanic or auto electrician, literally what’s under the bonnet runs it and put petrol in the hole in the side to make sure it runs lol
Sorry i misread CoastGT's post thinking that it shut down on the highway after 45mins, but it was after stopping, my badI don’t think anyone is reporting any troubles whilst actually driving. It’s more a few quirks while on standby power that we’re trying to get to the bottom of.
