Re: Nice dashcam with safety camera alerts

I have a Garmin 55. All I did with the power was buy a nice long USB to micro usb cable and also bought a little adapter which converts the cigarette lighter into 2 usb sockets

Re: No point in getting R-design in Canada

I honestly don't understand why people get so hung up about feedback through the steering. It's not like it's a car designed to be on a track or anything so for most mundane driving we do it's just not needed imho.

Re: Tyres

Re: Thread for North West Europe Map data updates

I have tried to upload with both 2.0 and 3.0 USB stick. In the XC40 I saw no significant difference in upload speed. I'm also curious to port speeds in the car.
