Sell Wyze Car Again

Why does it only work with the V2? Wyze knew they were going to release the V3 cameras. I can’t stand how they constantly release a product then shortly after release a new product that isn’t compatible with it, making it so we have to upgrade our entire setup to the newer versions.

Looking at an unboxing video on YouTube, it appears to use the USB-A port that is present on the back of the v2 but not the v3.

So an adapter could work to allow the V3 camera on the car.

The software won’t work on anything other than the V2. Has nothing to do with the USB A.

Then Wyze should update the code to work with V3.

Did anyone successfully dump that firmware? Really interested in some hacks.

  • Client car to home wifi?
  • Wireless charging
  • Add I/O
  • TOF sensors, autonomous mode

If so I’d love to clone a git somewhere

, I’m in the minority, I know, but I just got the Wyze car delivered this morning, and within 15-20 minutes, I had it assembled, and the new black V2 camera I purchased last week, installed, flashed and running… This is a great little toy… :camera_flash: :pickup_truck:

I’ve already had it for a cruise around the house and personalized it with some “eyes” :eyes: :sweat_smile:

I’ve had it running for about an hour and a half now, and it’s still showing all 4 LEDs lit on the battery pack… (Just driving it around the house taking a couple of videos and still pictures. beeping the horn a lot) :relaxed:

…and, I think I’ve solved the problem of people who want it to be charged all the time…

get one of these magnetic charging cables, (See attached pic), and leave it plugged in… drive away from the plug and the cord will pop right off…

…now maybe, if you had the cord hanging, you could back the thing up to the cord, and it might attach itself again… (The magnet :magnet: on the cable pulls from about an inch and a half away), but that might be asking a bit much… It would hard to see in reverse… :thinking: Rube Goldberg to the rescue. :sweat_smile: (If you don’t know who Rube was, Google it …you’ll get a laugh)

I’ve got another one of those magnetic charging cables on order from Amazon, so I’ll give it a try, and report back after Christmas…

A couple things on setting it up initially…
I used a brand new black V2 camera and just used the wyze car app to set the camera up…

I never used the main app at all…
and was pleasantly surprised when the new RoboCam popped up in the list of cameras, when I finally did open the main app, about an hour later…
