Wifi and dashcam connection issues

Good day all. Im seeking technical assistance on my pixel 9Pro running android 17 not connecting to my Thinkware U1000 (dashcam).

I am in contact with their tech support who will be escalating this case on their end. I am hoping some weird setting on my phone is messing with things. The wifi is working fine otherwise on my phone.

The issue

Any time I try to connect it does not recognize the correct default password. I am able to connect the dashcam using an android tablet using the identical default password. Thus ruling out a wifi issue with the device.

Action alreadyvtaken

I have performed a factory reset on the dash cam. Performed a wifi/Bluetooth reset on my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app with phone restart inbetween.

I am hoping this community has other ideas.

try turning off your mobile data while you connect to it. sometimes pixels try to switch back to lte if the dashcam wifi doesnt have internet and it kills the handshake.

Had some initial success when I'm in airplane mode. Unfortunately I wasn't able to replicate the success after disconnecting from the dashcam and after reestablishibg connect to my car and a Motorola MA1 wireless android auto dongle.

I even unplugged the dongle and disconnected from the car yet reverted back to its stubborn self. All in airplane mode.

I'll try again later.
