3.1. Compatibility Check
Before proceeding with installation, confirm your vehicle's compatibility:
- Land Rover Range Rover L460 (2022, 2023, 2024)
- Land Rover Range Rover Sport L461 (2022, 2023, 2024)

3.3. Installation Steps
- Locate the Installation Area: The dash cam is designed to integrate with the existing rearview mirror housing.
- Remove the Original Cover: Carefully use the provided plastic pry bar to remove the vehicle's original rearview mirror cover. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the trim or wiring.
- Connect the Plug and Play Cable: Identify the appropriate power connector behind the rearview mirror or within the overhead console (e.g., rain sensor, reading light panel, anti-glare, or reserved ports). Connect the plug-and-play cable to this port.

- Install the Dash Cam Unit: Position the AutoBora Dash Cam unit into the space where the original cover was removed. Ensure it fits securely and the camera lens has a clear view of the road.
- Secure Wiring: Route any excess wiring neatly to prevent interference with vehicle operations or visibility.
- Test Functionality: Turn on your vehicle's ignition and verify that the dash cam powers on and begins recording. Check the live view via the Viidure app (see Section 4.1).
3.4. Alternative Wiring (If Plug and Play is Not Applicable)
In some cases, direct wiring to the fuse box may be necessary. The dash cam requires a 10A fuse.

- Black wire (GND): Connect to any metal part of the vehicle chassis for ground.
- Red wire (ACC): Connect to a 12V (+) power source that is active when the ignition is on (e.g., cigarette lighter, radio).
- Yellow wire (B+): Connect to a 12V (+) constant power source that provides power even when the vehicle is off (e.g., for small lights, brake lights).
Note: If the yellow wire loses power when the car is off, the DVR will reset settings including date/time. Professional installation is recommended for fuse box wiring.

4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Power On/Off and Recording
The dash cam powers on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is turned on and begins recording. It powers off automatically when the ignition is turned off.
- Loop Recording: The camera automatically overwrites the oldest footage when the memory card is full. This ensures continuous recording without manual deletion.

- G-Sensor (Emergency Recording): In the event of a sudden collision or impact, the built-in G-Sensor will trigger the dash cam to automatically record and lock the current video footage. This prevents the footage from being overwritten by loop recording.
4.2. Wi-Fi Connectivity and Viidure App
The dash cam features built-in Wi-Fi for seamless connection to your smartphone via the Viidure app.
- Download the App: Search for "Viidure" in your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and install it.
- Connect to Wi-Fi:
- Turn on the dash cam.
- On your smartphone, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the dash cam's Wi-Fi network (SSID and password can be found in the app or initial setup instructions).
- App Functions: Once connected, the Viidure app allows you to:
- View live video feed from the dash cam.
- Browse and manage recorded videos.
- Download important footage directly to your phone.
- Adjust dash cam settings.
Note: You do not need to keep your phone connected to the dash cam's Wi-Fi at all times for the dash cam to function.
4.3. Viewing Footage on Computer
To view recorded footage on a computer, remove the MicroSD card from the dash cam and insert it into a compatible card reader connected to your computer.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Lens: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the camera lens. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Memory Card Management: Periodically format the MicroSD card (via the app or by removing and formatting on a computer) to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption. Back up important footage before formatting.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | No power supply; loose connection; vehicle ignition off. | Ensure vehicle ignition is on. Check power cable connections. Verify fuse box connection if applicable. |
| Recording stops or footage is corrupted. | Memory card full; faulty memory card; card speed too low. | Format the MicroSD card. Replace with a high-speed (Class 10 or U3) MicroSD card (up to 256GB supported). |
