But yours wasn't a branded FitcamX ?

Front mud flaps fitted

Excuse the filthy car, is due a full proper wash and wax in the near future !

2 existing liner screws used, 4 others are the plastic pop fixings. all feels solid.
inside arch and underneath fixings:
The rear I haven't completed yet as I am not happy about how they are meant to fix.
As you can see, it only uses one existing liner screw, and they provide rivets for the inside fixing and plastic poppers for the underside.

My plan is as follows:
The liner at the rear feels a little soft, so I will use one plastic popper as per my loose fitting pic (opened up that mud flap hole to suit) and some double sided number plate tape along where the other rivet holes are.
I used a small bradawl to make a hole between the rear tyre and arch, then opened up the softish material with a screwdriver enough for the plastic popper. You could take the wheels off to make it easier

I am not comfortable with being held in with 1 screw and the rest just poppers as the arch liner isn't rigid. So I will buy some screws to match the existing ones, and use those to fix to the underside in the bumper plastic.
This should give me a solid fixing that I am happy with.
In hindsight, it looks like the ID3 ones Betty b fitted are more protective and utilise more existing screws. If I did it again I would get those !

Cheers bud
It's given me info on the best way around not using rivets!!

Nothing to do with the cam, it's the wiring from the car. For some reason, mine did not time out.

Odd, would that mean your rain sensor is on permanently ?

All I can tell you is I patched in for camera the same as the supplied loom from the fitxamx and my dashcam did not power down. The loom it draws power from is common knowledge and not some secret fitxamx magic.

However, for me it would never power down in my few days if testing. So I gave up and just wired it the traditional way to the fusebox.

I don't use the parking mode, so I prefer the cam to shut down when I lock the car.

Come to think of it, maybe I didn't set the dashcam to go off with ignition and it stayed on in parking mode.... Bottom line, mines installed and working as I want it now and it's a job ticked off.

Merry Xmas!

I realise its been quite a while... did you ever find an answer to the programming problems?

As I see it, the cars have different software versions. Look st the top of the screen - version 3.x has a “climate”-label, and the older version have a “fan”-icon

There have been some changes to the sound in the versions. I would suggest getting the car to the same version (at the dealer) before trying again

I've heard that adding polyfill into the beats sub will improve its response a bit and be less flappy.
Although having a look at torx screws in they seem to be riveted in place and impossible to remove without drilling out ?

Not being confident about using rivets, clips, or the prospect of drilling holes, I have ordered the Automotive Passion arch guard/mudflaps for my Born, which are attached by re-using the existing OEM screws on the fronts. For the rears, they supply replacement screws and spacers for the existing OEM screws. They guards are in a gloss black, I will report back after fitting!
