Should you be able to see what the PDR is capturing as you operate the car? My screen is black when I hit record so you can't see what it's recording. However, when you hit play back it shows what you have captured.

Thanks Mike. I guess I don't have an issue after all. I still need to have them update the PDR to enhance the picture.

I have heard that when they update to enhance the picture you will lose the recording of audio. I do not want to lose the audio, so am avoiding the update.

If someone who had the update can confirm?

TIA,
Paul

As far as I know the update to enhance the picture has not been released to the dealers yet. There is a update to remove audio when recording in valet mode but I do not think it removes the audio in normal recording mode.

Anyone have further info?
