Car has sat for 48 hours with no problems. I should take voltage readings to see what the drop is between sittings... I'll do that tonight and let it sit tomorrow.

Not to pee in anyone's Wheaties here, but I was kinda hyped to get this device for my car, then I started reading the following thread:
http://forums.redflagdeals.com/merge...ad-1147913/24/ ... as you can see, it goes for (currently) 74 pages. The executive summary is that it seems that the Blackvue has a fairly noticeable overheating problem, which appears to be exacerbated by leaving it in "park monitor" (or whatever it's called) mode, which is one of the big things I wanted to use it for to begin with. |

If I install the power controller to the same constant hot wire that you wired directly to the camera (Positive to the GRN/YEL, Ground to the BLK/YEL), I should be golden, right? |

A problem with this device is that it's a clearly visible electronic device to outside bystanders.
I don't like leaving obviously expensive items in plain view inside of any of my cars, reason being to prevent a potential car prowl. This would be better IMO if the camera was more hidden. Not sure if a concealable blackvue-type camera exists... |

I just ordered the blackvue and power magic pro, but mine is the "Session 2" version, which supposedly addresses the overheating problem.
