    NOTE: Garmin Dash Cam 45, refurbished that i got from Amazon is a P.O.S.. Pass it on.

    The brand new ones are probably not much better. i should have read the reviews.

    And, SHAME ON GARMIN FOR SELLING SUCH A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP.

    Much more on this later.

    just mail it back for another one?

    maybe they will credit you for a new unit?

    and then too, the operating directions are usually a good idea to read before one actually uses any device.

    I bought a new one from Best Buy. It’s doing what it’s supposed to do so far.

    Shame onyou for thinking Garmin sold this piece of ####. Only "Garmin dash cam 45 refurbished" i can find ia sold by gps city. And if you purchased it on Amazon, there are many ways to get a refund, unless it started when you purchased as is.

    over the years, i have bought many items sold..."refurbished" and NEVER had any issues. in fact, a good percentage of the time, new units are sent back to the factory for "some problem". they are checked and repaired, and repackaged as.."refurbished".

    wanna know what i learnt a long time ago about "refurbished"../?

    many times a customer sends back a brand new (whatever) cuz they don;t know how to operate the darned thing, and say "it's broken"....i always buy a refurbished anything with a warranty, never "as-is"....factory backs up the product, and Amazon, is a very good place i do A LOT of business with as well....

    Amazon is THE best. No hassles, yes sir let me take care of that. Sometimes you don't even have to send it back. I always go there first.

    Amazon fake reviews are amusing. Someone will write a review on some processed meat in a can product... "We only eat fresh food from the garden and this canned mystery meat tastes so fresh and natural it's unbelievable!"

    The problem with Amazon, according the the White House, is that they don't pay enough to the USPS for shipping.
