2. Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your vehicle is turned off and the ignition is disengaged.
2.1 Vehicle Compatibility Check
This dash cam model is specifically designed for Mazda CX-5 (2017-2025) and CX-9 (2017-2023) vehicles without a sunroof. Confirm your vehicle's configuration before proceeding.
This image helps identify whether your vehicle has a sunroof, which is crucial for selecting the correct dash cam model.
2.2 Installation Steps
- Remove the Original Cover: Carefully use the provided pry tool to detach the plastic cover around your rearview mirror.
- Disconnect Power: Locate and disconnect the power cable from the original rearview mirror assembly.
- Connect Y-Cable: Connect the supplied Y-cable to the vehicle's power source and then to the dash cam. Ensure a secure connection.
- Mount the Dash Cam: Align the dash cam with the original cover's mounting points and secure it. The design ensures an OEM look.
- Reassemble: Reattach the cover, ensuring all clips are properly engaged.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Automatic Recording
The dash cam automatically begins recording when the vehicle's ignition is turned on. No manual activation is required for standard driving recording.
3.2 Loop Recording
The device utilizes loop recording, continuously overwriting the oldest footage with new content once the memory card is full. The included 64GB card provides approximately 5 hours of recording time. The recording duration can be adjusted via the FITCAMX app (1/3/5 minute options).
This image explains the loop recording feature, where the oldest files are replaced by new recordings.
3.3 G-Sensor (Emergency Recording)
The built-in G-Sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When triggered, it automatically locks the current video segment to a protected folder, preventing it from being overwritten by loop recording. This ensures critical event footage is preserved.
This image illustrates the G-Sensor's function, which automatically locks video footage during sudden impacts to prevent overwriting.
3.4 Parking Mode
Parking mode provides surveillance when your vehicle is parked. This feature may require an additional hardwire kit (fuse box cable or OBD cable) for continuous 24-hour recording. Without the hardwire kit, parking mode typically activates upon impact detection via the G-Sensor.
This image demonstrates the parking monitoring feature, which can provide surveillance when the vehicle is parked.
3.5 Wi-Fi & FITCAMX App
Connect your smartphone to the dash cam's built-in Wi-Fi to access the FITCAMX application. The app allows you to:
- View real-time video footage.
- Download recorded videos to your phone.
- Adjust camera settings (e.g., loop recording duration, video resolution).
Note: It is not necessary to remain connected to Wi-Fi for the camera to record automatically while driving.
This image illustrates the use of the FITCAMX app to view live footage and manage recordings via Wi-Fi.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Care and Cleaning
- Wipe the camera lens periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to ensure clear video quality.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the dash cam.
- Keep the device away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight for prolonged periods when not in use.
4.2 SD Card Management
- Format the SD card regularly (e.g., once a month) using the FITCAMX app or a computer to maintain optimal performance and prevent data corruption.
- Use a high-quality Class 10 or U3 microSD card for reliable recording. The dash cam supports up to 256GB.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Dash cam does not power on. | Ensure the Y-cable is securely connected to both the vehicle's power source and the dash cam. Check the vehicle's ignition status. |
| Video footage is blurry or unclear. | Clean the camera lens. Ensure the protective film has been removed from the lens. Check video resolution settings in the app. |
| Wi-Fi connection issues. | Ensure the dash cam is powered on. Restart both the dash cam and your smartphone. Verify you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi network (usually named 'FITCAMX_XXXX'). |
| SD card error or recording stops. | Format the SD card via the app. Replace the SD card if the issue persists, ensuring it is a high-quality Class 10 or U3 card. |
| Parking mode not functioning. | Confirm if an optional hardwire kit is installed. Without it, parking mode relies on G-Sensor detection. Check G-Sensor sensitivity settings in the app. |
