Where can I locate a stock firmware for a US version of the DR500? Like to have that on hand in case I mess something up or have to go back to stock for some reason.

Where can I locate a stock firmware for a US version of the DR500?

And that what is not appropriate?
 

[Nova5]

That is the Custom. I want to have  the Stock (Factory) firmware as a backup. If I ever have to send it in for warranty work, custom firmware may cause problems.

DVRs system time was wrong after installing the custom firmware.  To fix it I did not need to delete all files in "\Record\". I connected to it with the BlackVue App on my Android Phone and made a change from KPH to MPH this updated not only the setting it also updated the DVRs system time based on the Phone's time.

Nova5, please be careful with such operations. Some of custom settings in the config.ini may be reverted by the stock software.

[Nova5]

Will watch for that, I'll have to replace the config.ini with the one from the custom firmware package then.

Hello,
Hit snag. BV recognized reformatted 64 GB card with custom FW and announced "updating firmware". Seemed to be updating but a few minutes later BV said something I didn't understand and shut off. Turned off car unplugged BV, started car and plugged BV in. again DVR lights turn on and then BV chimes and turns off.

What should I do? Any suggestions?
