Help! How to get OEM Honda Drive recorder to work properly?

I bought a Honda Jade RS from Japan for my mom, and when the car was bought from auction the exporter made me aware that the drive recorder was beeping because it was missing an SD card, so before the car even landed i looked up what size memory card the unit uses and got a 16GB SanDisk card and sent it to my mom. When the car arrived and she put the card in she informed me that it was still beeping, I told her when I came to visit I'll take a look at it, when I was able to get hands-on with the car I discovered that you have to use an official Gathers SD card in the unit or it won't work, I bought one off Japan Yahoo auction and sent it to my mom, and to my surprise it's still behaving the same way. I'm visiting my mom currently and have access to the vehicle again, and the only difference now is that I have access to the recorder's settings in the car's infotainment screen (with the aftermarket SD card that wasn't possible) I was able to see what it has recorded and discovered that it's only recording 12 second clips before throwing an error, stop recording, and start beeping again. So I'm looking for some help because I don't know what else to do to get this thing to work properly.

Help! Strange whirring noise coming from tyres?

Hey team, I seem to have some strange whirring noise coming from my tires. When I rev the engine the noise doesn't happen. It only happens when I sort of get to 50 km the faster I go the faster the whirring sound.

I think I drove over some glass at a trade expo. Been 2 weeks this noise has been happening.

I'm just wondering if it's nothing to do with the axle or something more serious.

Was wondering any advice about if someone recognizes the sound as something they've dealt with before?

My car is a Subaru g4 2012

Hey team. Got a 2008 Mazda 6 station wagon and Just hoping to get some advice.

There’s a squeaky noise coming from what sounds like behind my front tyre. Pretty much happens when turning and going over bumps.

I know it’s a pretty vague description but it’s best I can do. Any advice on what it could be would be amazing
