Garmin Dash Cam 55

Q: Can someone please give an update on their experience with this product after the update recently released?

I purchased my DC55 on 05-Jan this year and hardwire installed it with the parking cable on 07-Jan. Mine was delivered with version 2.70 and I initially had no shutdowns, but starting in May the DC shuts down after a just a few minutes every time I use it. My commute is 26 minutes each way and the DC55 is down for up to 18 minutes! I downloaded and installed Garmin's latest SW update last week but it had no effect (don't even know if the latest software was intended to address temp shutdown). Anyway, my Blackvue DR750S-2CH was delivered today and I'm installing it in a few minutes.

Q: Does the software update actually fix the overheating problems? Overheating sounds like a hardware problem (not a software problem) ?

No. Camera Overheats and shuts off. Operating temperature range: From -20° to 55°C (from -4° to 131°F). It is a joke. Had to buy another dash cam (AuKey DR01 - $57). No problems with the heat. Operating temperature - up to 176 F.

Q: If I want to use it in my 2nd car, should I purchase another mount piece?

You can always make one. I bought a pack of steel, 7/8 inch washers and a roll of 3M, 1 inch wide, double sided automotive grade tape. I cut a tape square, fastened it to a cleaned washer and trimmed the excess. It's then ready to adhere to any location you want. I attached one of these washers to an old suction cup radar detector mount, and now I can put my camera just about anywhere. The suction cup is designed for a much heavier detector, so this camera is light work. Best of all, I can remove the whole setup between vehicles at any time and put it wherever I want. I really like the ability to place the camera in the back of the vehicle to keep an eye on the valet, or in my case, that mechanic who turns the test drive in to a joy ride.

Q: How are the night pictures and video?

The video is excellent! My drive to work is an hour and it is dark when I leave for work. Very good night video. I’ve not saved or made night photos so cannot comment other than to say that I would expect them to be good as well based on the video.
