Surround Video Recorder (Not PDR) issue

[vblkwng]

I have tried 3 SD cards, all work in a PC, all formatted with Fat32 none of them are being detected by the Blackwing when inserted into the trunk SD slot...am I missing something? I tried a 16GB, a 32GB, and a 256GB, none of them get detected.

I know in the trunk the default is 32GB format fat32. I formatted a 256GB in fat32 and got it to work. I do know there are some that won't work using the 256Gb, only 32GB but the format has to be fat32 only.

Which one are you using? Cause I have tried 3 sizes all fat32 formatted, and it doesn't detect any. I plug into a computer and boom, recognized.

Do you have PDR? I do not and I have not been able to get anything larger than a 16 gig to work in mine so far.

Nope, just the SD in the trunk

These are the ones I have been able to get working on my car. Both of these worked in my car.
I did have @burn813 try the 256GB in his and it didn't work but it worked in mine. ?? I have the 256GB in both recorders on mine and they are working. Maybe its luck that its working in mine but from what I read, the recorder in the trunk will only take 32GB or lower.

I have that exact same 2!

You are the second person to have the same issue as me, I am now wondering if it is something to do with not having the PDR and only having the SVR.

What is SVR?!? And follow up: if you have the PDR, do you get 2 card slots?

 

[burn813]

Surround Video Recorder as the title of this thread states.
If you have the PDR, there is a slot on the dash for the PDR SD Card
SVR SD Card slot is located in the trunk.

Figured I revive an existing thread on SVR, rather than start a new one. For those with SVR, does your front camera have a similar dead zone near the bottom of recorded video (green pixilated area)?

I checked mine and no it doesn't.

i do, i think it is because of your license plate...

I don't have a front plate, tho I am supposed to for my state.

I don't have a front plate either.

 

[burn813]

hmm I dont know then... I have the same thing

 

[vblkwng]

Damage, or something wrong with the camera? I'd take it in. All these are still under warranty.

Mine also has that weird dead spot. Sometimes its a static-y bright green, sometimes a static-y bright magenta.

I also had the issue of the SVR not recognizing any SD Cards, the reader ended up getting changed under warranty.

Yes, I had instances of magenta as well. I will have it checked out the next time I go in for an oil change or something else. The problem isn't material enough to warrant a visit just for that. Though the fact that others have the same thing will likely result in a technician diagnosis of "camera operating normally".

Should I be able to watch pdr recordings in the car? I can watch svr, but when i pull up the pdr all the videos are grayed out and i cant pull them up.
