Once your phone is connected, your device will automatically disconnect to the bluetooth from the 9 inch monitor. You must then connect your smartphone to the head unit’s Bluetooth. Once connected audio from CarPlay/Android Auto will start playing through your vehicle’s factory sound system over bluetooth.

Not all factory/aftermarket head units will support this feature and you may encounter disconnections or poor audio quality depending on your vehicle/device.
Music may not automatically start playing in this mode and may need to be played manually.

You can press icons on screen to lock/ unlock/ back/ forward/ pause and delete recorded video files. Press return arrow to exit to menu files. Press return arrow to exit playback.

Connecting to a computer

You can remove the SD card from the Mirror Monitor and plug the card directly into your computer to access files. With the SD card inserted, and when connected to a computer. Two folders will appear in the storage device. Normal, Event and Photo for files. Inside these folders are sub folders, F (front camera) and R (rear camera).

G-sensor sensitivity

This function activates in the case of a car accident by determining the gravitational acceleration (1g = 9.8 meters/second^2). When this function activates the Dash Cam will automatically save a 1 minute video file and save it to the Event folder on the SD card. We recommend Low Sensitivity to avoid false triggers.

Note: With this function turned on it may fill up the SD card with locked video files. Re-format the SD card to create space. The device does NOT guarantee video recording of all accidents as built-in impact sensor may not be activated due to combination of user settings and the level of impact during the collision.

Reversing guide lines

When triggered, the reversing guide lines only assist a driver with backing into a parking space or aligning with an object behind the vehicle. They do not measure distance. You should always get out of the vehicle and visually check the distance to aid the driver when using guide lines.

Formatting SD card

It is advisable to format the SD card when you first use the Mirror Monitor and also regularly if you have the setting G-sensor function on or create Locked files. This will fill up the card causing it to stop recording any footage. Micro SD cards need to be formatted in the Mirror Monitor to be recognised.

Cannot record video?
Please check whether there is enough space on the micro SD card or internal storage.

The Mirror Monitor is jammed or not responding?
Please reset the device in system settings or insert a pin into reset hole on the back of screen. (See page 6 diagram)
