I own a Garmin Dash Cam, and one of the features is red light and speed cameras alerts, however this feature is hidden behind a subscription, the camera doesn’t require internet connection all the time, so theoretically the files could be reverse engineered. I tried to do a quick google search but got nothing, does anybody know if this feature has been cracked?

If the camera can stay offline, is something preventing you from buying the subscription, activating it, and refunding it/paying only 1 month then never putting the camera online again?
I don’t think it is that easy. I’d say you might be able to use it for 1 month then. The key probably has a validity.
Yep, it also has GPS so I don’t think faking the date/time of the device will have an effect.
Fair enough, but the clock on any device not connected to the internet can’t be trusted ;)
That means your footage would have invalid date/time stamps, making it useless when you need it for its intended purpose.
GPS is a pretty accurate time source.
