User Tips
- Bluetooth Connectivity: The dash cam supports dual Bluetooth modes. While CarPlay's Bluetooth does not directly connect to your car's radio Bluetooth, once your phone is connected to the dash cam's CarPlay, it can also connect to your car's radio Bluetooth simultaneously for calls and audio.
- Parking Monitoring: For 24-hour parking monitoring functionality, an additional ACC hardware kit needs to be purchased and installed.
