Audi UTR

[Andymcdonald]

I have been using the UTR (only front) also for over 6 months and my experience is so far very positive. The installation is very easy (front), takes CA 15 minutes without cutting the wires, drilling, soldering, etc. I use it without any problems with iPhoneX and Mac. I have totally switched off the voice commends since they were irritating for me and I changed the SD on 64GB since the original was far too small. The picture quality is OK however I expected it to be better for these money. I am only disappointed that UTR is not integrated with MMI and the parking mode doesn't work (except g-sensor) when you have the heated windscreen.
I am fully in agreement with muumipeikko that when you spend so much on Q7 you should't risk spoiling the electrics ( what is very easy in this car) when you can buy Audi dedicated, safe for your car battery camera with the harness designed for your car model.

Just had a fail with chameleon and Thinkware. The installer has used the start/stop circuit and piggy backed the fuse, which when I test drive failed leaving me stranded and recovered by Audi assist... to say I’m ****** off is an understatement

I’ll be pursuing this to the end of the earth and making sure my car is made good

That's poor. You should never intercept that circuit. That's poor workmanship. There are plenty of spare fuse slots to use for the camera and no need to do that.

Hope you get it sorted

I know he was here 3-4 hours and seems super diligent.

What’s you view? Will Audi pursue costs from me?

Ps would you have them refit or just rip it out and refund

Have you spoken to Chameleon customer service yet? I had a dispute with Audi and they sent one of their top guys over and he put a report together which I sent to Audi and they dropped their BS nonsense.

I would give them a chance to put it right and cover any costs incurred.

I can imagine you’re very p’d off but unfortunately you can be unlucky dealing with any company if you get their worst employee! I can live with it as long as they have someone that will put it right.

Good luck

[Andymcdonald]

I agree, my concern right now is liability for recovery costs etc?

Audi Exeter seemed fair however Tuesday is a new day

Ps anyone know which fuse/circuit is best?

What I will say is that the person o spoke too at Chameleon was lovely and very understanding

Appreciate the feedback

Andy, You stated that you changed your dashcam sd card up from the standard 8Gn to a 64Gb card. Can you tell me which card you used as I have purchased a sandisk 64gb card for dashcams, but the UTR just keeps telling me to check SD Card. Did you have to do anything to get it working ? Thanks

I also use 64GB Sandisk. Try to format new card. Settings > System Settings > SD Format > Confirm

I'd love to be able to do that, but when I turn the dash cam off, change the SD card and then turn back on, all I get it a flashing red (about every 5 seconds) LED and the cam doesn't reboot, meaning that it doesn't show as a wifi unit to connect to... Not sure whether the flashing light means that it is formatting the card, but I have left it for an hour or so, and nothing seems to change. If I take out the 64gb SD card and replace it back with the original 8GB one then the system comes back in working mode immediately ? Wondering whether I have a dodgy SD Card? Might put it into the PC and see it shows up to test, but I know that will then 100% need a re-format which currently I can't force....

Any ideas or feedback appreciated.

The card works fine is a PC and so I don't think it the card, but I just can't get control via the Dashcam to format it. Do I need to do a total reset of the Camera ?
