Warning 2: I did exactly that, and it LOOKED like it was working happily, until it overflowed some internal limit and my 1G card turned into a 128M card or whatever it was. Have you actually TESTED that card IN THE DASHCAM and made sure it can actually use that 128G? Or will it only be able to use 4G of that card?
There are a lot of SD cards with fake capacities, they appear to be large but are actually a smaller card reprogrammed to do so. You only find out when you go beyond the true capacity. There are tools to check this, such as sys-block/f3.
Did you look at the card sizes I quoted? :-) I think the reason I tried a 1GB card was because the camera said it took a max of 512MB. It didn't work ... (Oh and the card was good. It was small by the standards of the day.)
