I'm not sure what is going on, but the device keeps restarting over and over and over while driving. I am via a USB adapter.

When I first set mine up, the videos were set to only record for 1 min, so it would start and stop every 60 seconds. I since changed it to 10 minutes. It also was set on motion-control, so when I would stop at a red light, it would shut off after a few seconds and then turn on once I would start driving. Perhaps those are what you are encountering.

The issue is the USB cord that comes with the device. It's very crappy. Buy an amazon basic one and you should be fine.

If its while in operation and then it stops, I suppose its O.K. If it is steady all time, then you might have a problem with the setting and/or the solenoid.

I cant swear to it but i have this problem when using on my motorcycle and i traced it back to a lose conection on the power adapter scocket wigling the plug always turned it right back on tried taping the plug and socket togther and probleb was solved, check you power outlet in your car and make sure the garmin plug fits snugly.

That usually happens when powering it from an adapter/source that didn't come with the device -- are you connecting it directly to a USB port in your car or into a 3rd party USB charger, for example ?

Yes. When I either turn the vehicle on or off the device will startup or shutdown.

The card re-loops continuously. I am using a 128gb and in 600 miles did not get to even half of it at the highest quality setting.

Alan, I'm afraid more likely than not, it is a design flaw in the unit. I have a 630 in a 67 Mustang. The USB is intermittent. It works for cash few minutes and then it quits. I tried 3 different flash drives and replaced the USB cable with no improvement. Last week I spoke to another car owners with a 630. He has the same problem. Sorry I can't be more encouraging.

Have not had this issue, but would think you maybe right on the money. Your computer may be dropping "vampires" (Items hooked up to your USB that are using power (although very minimal in this case)). As i generally do a daily shut down I have not had this issue.

It may not restart automatically when playing from an SD card and when playing it may get switched to a FM station. It also has problem switching from SD mode to USB mode and vice versa. The item is all messed up.

I would suggest connecting it to a different car to see if it works, and if it does then it may be an issue with that car. If it does not work then it may be a faulty unit.

ive been using my device for a year daily and never had that problem. It has crashed on me once that I can remember.... As a safety precaution, I always turn off the device (by using its power button) before shutting down my car or unplugging power cable. Try to update your firmware to the current version or perhaps roll back firmware if you recently just updated. If not then RMA your device.

I had the same problem. I sent the device back since it wasn't working properly.

I'm sorry, but I have never had that problem using this device and can't imagine what would cause that to happen. Works perfectly for me every time.

I suggest you return it immediately, or just back it up and throw it away. Mine crashed without warning a few years ago and I lost thousands of dollars worth of information.

Check all connections, and press in on the remote wheel when accelerating. Maybe that would help.

try plugging it back to where it worked well. that's for checking if your hard drive is still good.
