PROCEDURE

  1. Turn off the dash cam.

  3.  A menu should appear on the dash cam.  Press the ENTER button (far right button) to choose "Connect to Computer".
  4.  A USB symbol should appear on the dash cam and the computer should recognize the dash cam as a mass storage device.
  5.  On the computer, open COMPUTER or MY COMPUTER and find the dash cam under "Devices with removeable storage".
  6.  Double-click on the dash cam.  You should see a folder called DCIM. Do not proceed unless you see the DCIM folder.

  9.  Press the power button in the upper-right corner to turn the dash cam back on.  An "Update Firmware" menu should appear.

  11. The firmware will be updated, after which the dash cam will turn off.

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.
