Hello,

Bit of an odd one but I can't figure this out. I have two cars, a VW Touran and a Seat Altea. Both have Nextbase dashcams powered through the cigarette lighter. The one in the Altea stopped coming on automatically, but was fine when I turned it on manually which I thought would be a power issue. I've checked the cigarette lighter using a tyre pump and that works, and I've checked the cable as it worked fine in the Touran. I've also tried switching the cable / camera from the Touran into the Altea and that doesn't work. I'd have thought perhaps a fuse issue, but the fact that the pump worked suggests that the cigarette lighter is working fine.

Hope that makes sense! Anyone got an ideas what the problem could be?
