Blackvue comes with an optional power kit that connect directly to your battery with sleep mode so it does not drain your battery whilst parking at stationary.

I connected the DOD to the accessory wire in the top lighting console so it only powers up when the X5 is running or its turned to accessory mode.

For under a couple hundred dollars its A good investment and I can always remove it and install the camera into my next BMW!

PS. There's one more, 80 year old's driving at 80klm in the middle or right lane on a 110klm speed hwy!

PSS. There one more, its great to play back when you have your car serviced as it records voice as well?

OMG, i thought you were describing traffic in India or Philippines... for God's sake, where do you live? so i will try to avoid posting there!!!

One of the Queensland Senators here said he wants to bring in a congestion tax for Brisbane.

If they stopped taking overseas trips and stopped wasting money we would have good roads. It's amazing how they can be in power for so long and then wakeup one day to realise they should been spending money on roads.

You can see why Politician's are the bottom run of the ladder, had my way they would not be allowed to touch the ladder at all.

Does DOD offers parking mode function?

Blackvue provides:

Parking Mode Recording with Motion Detection
In parking mode, recording will be triggered only in case of a detected motion or impact to save the storage space
