Hi guys,

I have a similar setup on my 2016 M4 (2ch 650GW) with the exception that I'm trying to use the Power Magic EZ accessory from BlackVue.

This thing should power the camera out of the main car battery over the OBD port, while giving you options to configure a time duration for the parking mode or run it until the battery drops below a certain voltage, or turning the parking mode off altogether (thus powering off the camera when the ignition goes off).

I decided to go this route since I don't need the parking mode very often and those few times I would not even needed for more than a few hours.

Problem is that apparently it doesn't seem to work on my car: no matter what I do that thing will keep powering the camera.

Of course now I have to manually disconnect it from the OBD every time, since I don't want to get my battery drained.

Does anybody here have experience with the Power Magic EZ? Does anybody experienced similar issues with it? Or should I just assume I got a faulty unit?

Thanks
