Hi,
New here but have a little problem with my dash cam and wondered if anyone else had come across it.
For some reason the Dash Cam GPS will not connect in my 1st Ed.
I've tested it in my wife's car and it's fine.

Same problem here, my Nextbase GW522 GPS fails to connect.
Although not confirmed I suspect that the heated windscreen on my ID4 FE is adding to the problem.

Hi
When you say won't connect, it won't connect to what?
Regards,

Apologies, dashcam does not connect to the GPS hence no speed stamping on the video footage.

I have the heated screen and checked my dash cam today. All seems well. I have a Kenwood DRV-A501W. It has a magnetic quick release, which I assume has some built in device to stop interference from the magnet. I'm wondering if that may be the reason the heated screen doesn't seem to have an impact.
