james6 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi , I bought a dash cam on the tv adverts . The ASTON 3in1. But fitting and setting up instuctions are all in thai. I went to the aston web page but that also is all in thai with no english alternative that i can see. Has anyone dealt with this company and have any idea where i can get an english download of instructions please, Any info would be appreciated pete.

evadgib Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) 1) Ask a local to change the language settings. 2) Search youtube for an idiots guide. HTH Edited September 10, 2015 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzarella Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Just bring to a shop and change the language for setting, and to set the date. Not any other change. Most car cams come ready to work after hooked to the car lighter. Look in youtube is there is any video report about it.

james6 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 1) Ask a local to change the language settings. 2) Search youtube for an idiots guide. HTH Very helpfull. An idiot plays with things he doesent understand. The fitting is where the problem is. There are two extra wires from the rear camera one red and one blue which i PRESUME are for the parking mode but without the instuctions i cant be sure where to conect. Better to be safe than sorry .. cheers.. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear camera has a cable with plug that connects to the rear view mirror socket correct? The extra wires are a seperate cable from the camera or the same cable as the plug? I couldn't see a download link for the manual and from the pics it's not clear. If a seperate cable possibly it wires into your reverse light to turn on the cam, or to auto switch the display? Dunno, post the manual if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 They have an installation video at that link - but I see no red & blue wires on the rear camera... They also have a call centre phone number displayed - have you tried calling that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, post the manual if you can HI Thanks for your time and trouble. Yes thats it. They show a vidio of fitting but with no mention of the two extra wireswhich are 1 red and 1blue I scaned the instructions and attatched. I have found that unless you know someone who is fluent in english and thai your better off not asking for a translation . My wife is thai and she speaks english But she cannot translate one to the other.I cannot ring the help line as i am parchally deaf Which is why i posted on here and have had some good responce and thank everyone for there time. If the ASTON company added an e mail address it would it easy to contact them for an english copy but i could not find on there web page cheers pete.

evadgib Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Just a thought, but the OP could have this fitted @ a reasonable garage in a few mins for around THB 300. (That's how much they charge where I live) Re Wires; My guess is either GPS external antennae or to plumb directly into your battery so that it works if the car is bumped while parked.

james6 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 From the link above it looks like a nice device. I am thinking about getting it already... Hi . I like it as acording to the TV advert it records if someone bumps you when the car is parked and turned off, back and front which my present one does not do .Also i dont like things on the dashboard and stuck to the window. I cant recomend it yet as i havent fitted it .the advert says you can use it as a revercing aid which is i presume the two extra wires as they come from the rear camera . The free 8 card is ok but the free three port and USB is cheap rubish and i will not use. I will post a review when its fitted and working pete.

The rear camera is stuck on the window though isn't it? That's how it looked in the video. Reckon it would fall off after 5 minutes in the sun. Perhaps there's an alternate way of fitting though. Is the back-up power via a battery or capacitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonw8uk Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The pic showing the rear camera says: กรณีทีลูกค้าต่อกล้องที่ป้ายทะเบียนสายแดงดำเอาไว้ต่อเข้ากับขั้วไฟ ถอยหลังของตัวรถ เมื่อต่อแล้วจะมีเส้นถอยหลังบอกระยะขึ้นมาตอนถอยรถ(สามารถให้รานประดับยนต์ต่อให้ท่านได้) HA! Took some figuring out, but I think it's saying: If you install the camera on/or near your licence plate (i.e not the rear window) and wire it up to the reversing light, a distance indication will automatically pop up on the display when you reverse. (you can let a car accessory shop install for you) Pretty sure thats the gist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simple to fit and i presumed as you confirmed the two wires were for the reverse action . I have a dash cam in the car now but it only up front and when its off its off. So any bump while your not there which does happen is lost. I dident know it had a disance indicater so thats a bonus. thanks again pete.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
