It is highly recommended to connect the power cord to a switched power source to prevent battery drain when the motorcycle is off. Consult your motorcycle's manual or a professional for proper wiring.
5.3 Optional Camera Installation (for DVR models)
If your model includes the optional front and rear cameras, install them in locations that provide a clear, unobstructed view of the road ahead and behind. Route the camera cables securely, avoiding moving parts or heat sources, and connect them to the designated ports on the D8 Pro unit.
5.4 Optional Tire Pressure Sensor (TPMS) Installation
If your model includes optional tire pressure sensors, install them on the valve stems of your front and rear tires according to the markings (F.W for Front Wheel, R.W for Rear Wheel). Ensure they are tightened properly to prevent air leakage.
5.5 Initial Power-On and Connection
Once installed, turn on your motorcycle's ignition. The D8 Pro should power on automatically. It features intelligent sensing for wireless interconnection and automatic wake-up when near the vehicle.
- Ensure your smartphone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled.
- On the D8 Pro, navigate to the connection settings.
- Select "Carplay" or "Android Auto" mode as desired.
- Pair your smartphone with the D8 Pro via Bluetooth. Follow the on-screen prompts on both devices to complete the wireless connection.
- Once connected, your phone's interface will be mirrored on the D8 Pro display.
6. Operation
6.1 Wireless Carplay / Android Auto
After successful connection, your smartphone's Carplay or Android Auto interface will appear on the D8 Pro. You can now access navigation, music, calls, and messages directly from the display.
- Navigation: Use your preferred navigation app (e.g., Apple Maps, Google Maps) for turn-by-turn directions.
- Music & Media: Control music playback from your phone's apps.
- Voice Control: Activate voice assistants (Siri, Google Assistant) by saying "Hey Siri" or "Hey Google" (if supported by your phone and Carplay/Android Auto settings) or via a dedicated button if available. This allows for hands-free operation, such as "Navigate to [destination]" or "Play [song]".
- Calls & Messages: Make and receive calls, and listen to messages through the display.
6.2 Split Screen Display
The D8 Pro supports split-screen functionality, allowing you to view two applications simultaneously, such as navigation and the DVR feed, or navigation and music controls.

- Select the two applications you wish to view.
- You can switch between the primary and secondary views or adjust their sizes if the interface allows.
6.3 DVR (Dashcam) Functionality
If your model includes cameras, the D8 Pro acts as a Moto DVR, continuously recording footage from the front and rear cameras onto a TF card (up to 256GB). This footage can be invaluable for documenting rides or in case of incidents.
- Recording: Recording typically starts automatically when the device powers on.
- Mobile Playback: You can view recorded footage directly on the D8 Pro screen or via a connected smartphone (if supported by the app).
- Data Display: The DVR interface may display riding time, cycling mileage, and average speed.

- The display will show current pressure readings (e.g., in Bar).
- An immediate warning will be issued if abnormalities are detected.
6.5 Settings
Access the settings menu on the D8 Pro to customize various options, including display brightness, audio settings, DVR recording preferences, language settings, and more. Refer to the on-screen menu for detailed options.
