I saw there’s these battery packs that can sit in the glove box and U wire the unit to it. No idea if they’re worth it but maybe check out some YouTube reviews on them? Could solve the vampire drain?Thanks Stan. I'm more concerned it about not being powered off and slowly draining the battery overtime rather than it staying on you know
My understanding when researching this, as I wanted it to record 24/7 (parking mode) in the event of stationary tomfoolery, is that it won't drain power when the vehicle is off when hooked up to the mirror wiring harness (the plug and play method). It doesn't provide power after the accessories power off (auto dimming mirror / map lights) as they turn off after a few minutes of the vehicle being powered off. You have to get an additional wiring harness, run it down the a pillar, and either with the ODB-II adapter kit or a particular fuse on the fuse box (fuse wiring kit). They offer those harnesses on the fitcamx website for those that want the power and parking mode capability. Long story short, it won't drain your battery in the standard plug n play mode.Thanks Stan.

No, thats not possible. FitcamX taps into switched power from the rearview mirror. You'll notice you have a little light/toggle on your rearview mirror for the auto dimming function. Once you turn off the car, that light turns off=no power to the mirror.Thanks Stan.

I'm a new owner too. I was in the market for a '26 ITS but picked up this '24 instead because it was such a GREAT deal....only had 804 miles on it. I flew up to Chicago and drove it 552 miles back to Tennessee on Christmas Eve.OK, proper intro this time. I had a deal going with a dealer in FL for a used '24 DE5 with 20K miles, but suddenly a friend of friend had a '25 car for sale with 5,200 miles for around the same price and it was a no brainer to go with the local car. No shipping and enthusiast owned.
Say hello to my new to me '25 DE5!
I am excited as a previous FL5 owner. The first drive made me feel right at home. So begin the mods!
Great pics! Love the FL5 too!Met up with one of my car buddies yesterday with his FL5. Yesterday was the first time I had a chance to drive the DE5 in the twisties and it did not disappoint. Very similar to my old FL5, but just a tad softer, which is fine and expected.
Congrats and beautiful car! I think black on the DE5 looks amazing!I'm a new owner too. I was in the market for a '26 ITS but picked up this '24 instead because it was such a GREAT deal....only had 804 miles on it. I flew up to Chicago and drove it 552 miles back to Tennessee on Christmas Eve.
Thanks! I love black on black but the other colors are amazing too.
