TROUBLESHOOTING

  • If a menu does not appear in step 3, make sure you are using the short data cable.  The long USB cable is only for powering the dash cam and it cannot be used for transferring files on a computer.
  • If the "Update Firmware" menu does not appear in step 9, make sure that you copy the SD_CarDV.bin file to the root of the dash cam.  If the firmware file is placed inside a folder, then it will not be found.
  • If the "Update Firmware" menu appears every time the dash cam is turned on, then you have not deleted the SD_CarDV.bin file.  Please perform step 13 above.
