How do you get the latest firmware? I purchased directly from Wolfbox.

It’s available from the Wolfbox website. You’ll need your serial number (back of the device) and firmware version (see menu). It’s as simple as formatting your SD, loading the appropriate firmware version to the SD card via your computer, and starting the Wolfbox up with the firmware/SD installed.

Appreciate it. I don’t have a micro SD reader though and only have macs at home. Perhaps I need to buy one.

Mac tiene lector de tarjeta Sd, compra solo el adaptador de sd para micro sd, es muy barato

I’m a new member and new Grenadier owner here in Boca Raton, Florida. At my age (80+), my eyes need a bigger rear view camera image. I like the idea of the Wolfbox, and want it to be professionally installed.
1. Can it be installed so that it looks like a factory installation rather than an “add on”?
2. Is the camera better positioned High above the spare tire (as it is on my Gwagon), or low at the license plate level?
3. Do you recommend removing the existing rear view mirror and using the Wolfbox as a replacement?

Thanks for your patience with these queries….

I think it will always slightly look like an add-on because of how the plugs go into the mirror. I think the high position is best. I’m impressed with your interest at 80+. 30 years from now, I suspect I’ll be driving something more comfortable haha.

High position?

I hear you - we’re also a Mac house… I found an ancient WIN95 machine in a hotel lobby. Did the unzip etc on an iPad and used Dropbox to get it across and onto the SD.

 

[Chadd7]

High position?

High above spare vs at the license plate level.

 

[Chadd7]

How many amps is the INT2 switch? Wolfbox saying 15A is required.

Int2 is 10 amps

Got it, I was thinking mirror position.

I'm in NJ and it's been mid-70s here

Apologies Chadd. Not sure what made me think you were in Texas. Many of my relatives are in NJ. Teaneck I think. Spent a holiday as a teenager in Mountain Lakes with some other relatives.

 

[Clark Kent]

Int2 is 10 amps

This could be contributing to your random shutdown issue @Chadd7.

I saw your post about 15A and thought that couldn't be right, but then I checked the fuses that Wolfbox supply in the hardwire kit and sure enough they're 15A.

Wolfbox say this in the hardwire kit FAQ:

Please note: When connecting the ACC fuse to the voltage reduction cable, ensure that the current is between 15A and 25A. The current of the constant power fuse should be within 30A.

INT2 is obviously working for others, but as a test you could revert yours to the supplied cigarette socket power adaptor and run it for a few days. If it still shuts down it's likely faulty. If it is solid then you might need to look for another power source instead of INT2.
Are you running anything else from INT2?

Thanks for your helpful reply. My other vehicle is a Gwagon… but I’m turned off at Mercedes Benz for up charging over MSRP for new Gwagon… my local MB dealer (owned by Auto Nation) wanted $50K OVER MSRP for the AMG version… $196K went up to $246K before theyy finally offered it at 226K. Whether or not I can afford it, I don’t like being taken advantage of. So far I’m attracted to the Grenadier and enjoying my new ride. It’s still a little rough around the edges in comparison with my Gwagon, but shows promise for the future if they keep improving it.

For those that don't like the ADAS in the front camera, you can try this.. the arm and attachment with 3M tape are aluminum. It keeps the mirror stable and allows me to lower the mirror a bit. I'll try to get a couple of pictures of the installed mirror and attachment posted. Amazon Alum Arm

You've hit the nail on the head. The Grenadier is basically a good vehicle. I've been with it from the very beginning and have seen a lot. In my opinion, the many little things that are repeatedly reported in the forum can only be explained to a limited extent by the fact that it is a new car manufacturer. In addition, there is certainly a lack of expertise and, above all, sloppiness in production in France. The G-Wagon is certainly a different story.

Follow up to above.
I'm currently wiring in my G900 with the Wolfbox hardwire kit. As a test I temporarily put the hardwire kit across the main battery with an inline multimeter set to measure current. Yellow to + and Black to -

During startup the G900 pulled 850 milliamps with the rear camera connected. After startup it stabilised at 800 milliamps.

That seems consistent with a device of this nature and the wire gauge used in the kit.
Unclear why Wolfbox recommend higher current circuits in the hardwire kit FAQ and include 15A fuses. That seems excessive.

@Chadd7 With this in mind it's unlikely that the 10 Amp limit on INT2 is causing your shut down issue, assuming you're not maxing out INT2 for another purpose.

I appreciate your input. I drove about 50 miles today and have not had that issue again. I think I willjust monitor this issue for now

Some six months after purchase I finally installed my Wolfbox!

I installed the rear camera and extended cable last weekend, fishing the cable inside the large rear door, through the rubber accordion tube, and up to the center latch area in the roof headliner. Today I did all the electrical wiring, including fishing the camera wire from the rear to the switch panel. The last bit took a surprising about of time, and I followed @Zimm ‘s suggestion of running a pull string. This was a godsend as I managed to actually loop the cable around the dropped door seal (yes, I really did I that). With the string it was super easy to pull and re-run the cable a second time in less than a minute!

The big moment!
