Nice and neat Wish there was that much room in the Passat.

Had to wrap mine in bubble wrap and fit it in above Fuse box so that it didnt rattle.

Also having two cameras I ran mine slightly differently.

The ACC wire goes to the front camera through a line fuse BEFORE connecting to the PM

The rear camera has the output from the PM.

The always on wire is run through a switch so I can turn it off when car is home in the garage and only turned on when driving or parking somewhere. Same as the Power Magic Pro but cost less to put switch in myself.

I have found that if you do a screen "CAPTURE" of the numberplate you want to see it shows up better than just pausing the video.
Or else using the full screen mode in the viewer

I usually take the SD card out and drop the whole "RECORD" folder onto a HDD and can play with it on there. I did that with our whole 3500mile trip in the USA

The magnify " feature " of the DR 500 is crap as it just magnifies a bit but I cant read the plates that it shows

Thanks to a member on here I have installed the English config files on the SD card and it now runs the English Blackvue Viewer but still the Korean voices which is not really a problem. Advantage is the settings pages are now in English as are the maps.
I dont however like the wide angle lens as much as the DR400. The WIFI works great and connects easily but is pretty hard to read on the small screen.
