    Hmmm. You want some commentary?

    Check this out. And don't say that he doesn't give you fair warning to stop the video if you want to.

    I bought a dash cam from Diesel Boss in September 2015. I thought it was rather cheaply put together. I found it hard to get it set up. No instructions in the box. After a few weeks it froze up, After locating my receipt I called. They tried to fix over the phone then decided to exchange for a new unit. I told him I would like to upgrade to a better model. About $50. I was told the owner would have to approve and I would hear from him. That was three weeks ago. Nothing! The product is craps and so is their response. I don't want a replacement nor upgrade. Keep all your crap.

    Hmm. Well, I can tell you that's not the way we normally do business. In addition, there should have been a very detailed setup guide in the box and that no one got this message to me. I don't leave anything like that dangling.

    So, if you will PM me your name. Actually, on second thought I don't know if the forum software will let you send a PM yet because this is your only post. If it does not, then email storekeeper@dieselboss.com with your name or call 866-851-2346 between 8 and 6 Pacific Time and I will have the DB4 Dual version sent with a return label for your current one.

    Thanks.

    Texas Rebel Thanks this.
  6. I purchased the DB4 for Christmas 2018. I have added the dual camera to this unit. I will post some observations on the unit later. I'm still working on app use and some of the other default settings.

    So far it's better than the pervious unit(not a diesel boss dash cam) I have owned.

    ......... To be continued
     
    Dieselboss Thanks this.

    Actually, you must have the new DB5 model. The DB4 had an excellent run an there are many thousands of them running out there every day. However, as the technology is developed we have to listen to what the drivers are asking for. The DB5 adds wifi connect to your cell phone or tablet so that you can view the video wirelessly or save an incident to your phone storage without a wire. It also adds 4K video resolution, GPS position and speed, G-Shock sensor, and wide dynamic range chipset. It can take up to a 256 GB card to handle long record times even in 4K.

    Make sure to email us or call in if you have questions about the settings or the app. And thanks for your business.

  8. Thank you Don, my error it is the db5-HD with 4K.


    I sent an email to shopkeeper tonight requesting more info on the wifi connection to a Mobile device.

    Sat. I will upload a link to YouTube of a run I did yesterday and today.

    I'm pulling the files off onto a laptop.. To upload them. Not sure on the specs I have set, video is real clear.

    More tomorrow
