Troubleshooting and error codes
| Issue | Troubleshooting Steps |
|---|---|
| Unit not powering up | Ensure proper connection. If off, press and hold the power button. If using Parking Mode/Motion Detection with a hardwire kit, drive to wake the unit. |
| Cabin interior recordings are black and white | This is normal for Infrared LED night-vision. Infrared recording captures low-light conditions. You can turn it off in the settings. |
| Using Parking Mode and Motion Detection | Turn on in settings. Requires hardwire kit (CA-MICROUSB-001) or 'always on' cigarette lighter socket. Unit enters low-power 'standby' and wakes on motion/driving. |
| No GPS Lock (GPS icon is red) | GPS locks best on the road. May not get a lock in garages, parking structures, or at home. |
