Questions and answers
The camera will not turn off after trying to program it
The DRIFT Ghost XL camera may not turn off after programming if it is connected to an external power source, such as a car or motorcycle. In Dash Cam Mode, the camera automatically powers on when it detects power and stays on as long as the power supply is active. It turns off only when the power is cut off. If the camera remains on, check if it is still receiving power from an external source.

Why is the drift customer service so utterly crap
My Drift Ghost XL has locked static red light. The remote does nothing now just goes red on any clicks. How do I unlock them? PC wont recognize camera.
