“One year after buying the camera, I noticed that it does indeed continuously record. I don’t even have a constant power cable. If you filter by unsaved videos, You will see long clips”
“One year after buying the camera, I noticed that it does indeed continuously record. I don’t even have a constant power cable. If you filter by unsaved videos, You will see long clips”
“Then at some point I power the car on and it just sits with a green light doing nothing. I have the official Garmin cable and a SanDisk card so it must be an issue with the camera.”
“I’d 100% recommend this if you are looking for the smallest possible dash cam setup and don’t want to mess with your car’s wiring.”
“I replaced the screws with one thread size larger, keeping the same length. I then added blue loctite and it was fixed. With loctite, the screws won't undo themselves from vibration anymore.”
“the first one did this after about 16 months and I contacted Garmin and got a replacement only for it to happen exactly the same again just 9 months later ( now out of warranty)”
“The Dongar adapter and Garmin Mini 2 is such a great combo. My only regret is not doing it sooner.”
“I had almost the exact same experience with a Mini 2 going green and it killed my trust in it too. I switched to a Viofo A119 Mini and it’s been way more solid for me so far.”
“I just bought a garmin mini 2 as a gift for my father in law and holy crap is it sleek.”
“The picture occasionally has a thin band of the "apocalyptic" coloring, but it just flashes before it corrects itself. Regardless, it's better than the entire picture being "apocalyptic" 24/7.”
“My mini 2 works great. Only issue I have is glare from the windshield, which I’m sure is present on all dash cams. I installed a polarizing filter, which worked great.”
“I have two- front and rear, never gone for the subscription. I like them.”
“it's taking 2-3 minutes for it to boot up. The LED is blinking green for a good while leaving the neighbourhood before it goes steady red and actually starts recording.”
“I had almost the same experience with Garmin and it killed my trust in them for dash cams. I switched to a Viofo A119 Mini 2 and it’s been way more reliable so far.”
“I just did this and it fixed the cam. Pry the back off towards the lower left of the Cam with a small thin screw driver or spudger rotating it to release the back off the small retainers that hold it in.”
“I have the a Garmin DashCam Mini 2 for a week now, so far no problems.”
“The Garmin mini dash cam sucks. I wish I would’ve seen this before I ever bought the thing. Even on high sensitivity it doesn’t capture hardly anything. Heavy traffic nothing sudden stops nothing.”
“The Mini 2 has the better performance though, and is quite small.”
“I was able to get the back cover off relatively easily and tightened all the screws, and at least for now the image is clear again!”
“I have Mini2 in each of our cars, very happy with them.”
“I can connect and see live video but it gives me a “we’re not fully connected” and I can’t use voice commands. That’s frustrating.”
“went to pull the dash cam video and all I get is this....on all of the files from this morning to this evening. Is there any way to recover/ unscramble the video.”
“I have a garmin mini 2 . It’s straight ASS and mine is defective after a year of usage. I have no recommendations except for DONT BUY IT. Sincerely, someone who spent $109 for it and cant get a refund.”
“I just did it, I used a mini flat head screwdriver to get the cover off and found the loose screw. I can't believe it worked.”
“it connects fine to my android phone. Works great.”
