The Nextbase 222 uses a Click&Go PRO magnetic mount for secure attachment to your windshield. This allows for easy removal of the dash cam while leaving the mount in place.

  1. Clean the area of your windshield where you intend to mount the dash cam using the provided wet and dry wipes. Ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
  2. Attach the Click&Go PRO mount to the dash cam.
  3. Position the dash cam on the windshield, ensuring it does not obstruct your view and the lens has a clear line of sight to the road. The ideal position is typically behind the rearview neynik.
  4. Once the position is confirmed, remove the protective film from the adhesive pad on the mount and firmly press it onto the windshield for 5-10 seconds to ensure maximum contact.
