Review on BlackVue DR900X-2CH With 256GB MicroSD Card 4K UHD Cloud Dashcam Built-In Wi-Fi, GPS, Parking Mode Voltage Monitor LTE Via Optional CM100 LTE Module by Paul Rose

I bought the 900s version and installed 2 of them in my car and year or two back. One has failed, probably heat. It took me days and i had to pull apart all the paneling to run all the lines for the car. I got it done but it was a bunch of work. BlackVue suggests we hardwire it and i did. Now they created a newer version that handles heat better but changed the power cables. WTF, I really don't look forward to tearing through my car again to install this. I bought it so i'll do it, but if you are thinking about going with a different brand/camera, now would be the time to shop. Had i known this cabling would need to be changed, i would have shopped around and look at the alternatives (might as well step up to potentially better). I thought i would buy this and simply plug into my existing hardwired BlackVue system. I was wrong.On another note, you use to be able to plug in your phone and transfer your videos off. This doesn't work anymore. You can't even transfer the videos to another folder on the phone. I'm reminded of this fact because i want to transfer a video off now, but can't, i'm not sure how i'm going to do it. I've used BlackVue for about 4 years now and amazingly i don't know how to transfer it off, even though i did it many times in the past. They changed this functionality with an update. If it wasn't broke don't fix it. Although it has this cool WIFI transfer functionality, i can't figure out how to get the video off my phone. So i have to take 2 steps back in time and unplug the camera from the car, pull out the SD card to hook it up to my computer to transfer the file. Hmmmm, what are the alternatives to BlackVue?
