What is the maximum parking mode you have been able to achieve without increased battery discharge?

What is your voltage cut off set to?

Thanks

I have the voltage set to the minimum, which I think is 11.2V. I'm away on hols at the mo so can't check.

I haven't had any parking incidents so it's hard to tell how long that function operates for, however, I also have motion detection activated and that seems to work for several days if the car is left parked for a while.

I've got mine set to 12.1/2 I think and I haven't had any issues with it cutting out or any discharge notices on the idrive.

The battery seems to hold around 12.4 ish when reviewing the videos as it shows the voltage on the recording

What is your parking mode set to brother?
12, 24 or 48?

12 I think.

But I'm not 100% on how that setting affects things I need to read the manual again as I did have it in 6 before and I never noticed that it cut out after 6 hrs!

Mine is set for 12 hours (I have front and rear cam) - iirc setting it any higher will cause a battery drain alert

I have set it to 48hr with a cut off of 12.4v see how she goes.
