- Download the firmware file for your region below and unzip it on your computer.
- Save any driving footage you want to keep — the next step erases the memory card.

- Copy the entire contents of the unzipped firmware folder to the root of the microSD card.
- Insert the microSD card into the dash cam and connect power to turn it on.
- The LED blinks while the firmware installs. The dash cam restarts on its own when it finishes.
