3. Installation Guide
The FITCAMX dash cam is designed for a specific OEM-style fit. Ensure your vehicle is a Volkswagen Tiguan 2018-2024 with the broader rear cover (HD2-6179 model compatibility).
3.1. Compatibility Check

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Automatic Recording
The dash cam automatically begins recording when your vehicle starts. It records continuously, overwriting the oldest footage with new content once the memory card is full (Loop Recording function).
4.2. Loop Recording
The device supports loop recording, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention. When the 64GB MicroSD card (included) reaches its capacity, the oldest files are automatically overwritten by new recordings. The system supports MicroSD cards up to 256GB.
4.3. Parking Mode & G-Sensor
The integrated G-sensor detects sudden collisions or impacts while the vehicle is parked. In such events, the dash cam automatically saves and locks the emergent footage into a dedicated folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This feature provides surveillance even when the vehicle is off.
4.4. Wi-Fi Connectivity and Mobile App
The dash cam features built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, allowing you to connect it to your smartphone via the FITCAMX mobile application (available on Android and iOS). Through the app, you can:
- Access and preview live video footage.
- Download important recordings directly to your phone.
- Adjust camera settings.
Note: To ensure proper preview functionality, temporarily turn off cellular data or Bluetooth on your phone when connecting to the camera's Wi-Fi. The dash cam's Wi-Fi connection does not interfere with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto functionality.

5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Lens
Regularly clean the front and rear camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video recording. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
5.2. Memory Card Management
Periodically format the MicroSD card within the camera settings via the mobile app to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. While the camera features loop recording, formatting can help resolve potential recording issues over time.
5.3. Firmware Updates
Check the FITCAMX official website or the mobile application for any available firmware updates. Keeping your dash cam's firmware updated ensures access to the latest features and performance improvements.

- Format the MicroSD card using the FITCAMX app.
