How do I update the firmware for my dash cam?

Updating the firmware for your dash cam can seem a bit daunting, but it is a straightforward process that can help ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features. First, it is important to confirm your dash cam model, as the process may vary slightly across different models offered by Vantrue. Typically, users will want to begin by checking the official Vantrue website for the most recent firmware updates available for their specific dash cam model. The firmware update files are usually available in the support section or under downloads tailored for your device. Once you have identified the appropriate firmware file, you will need to download it to your computer. Next, prepare a microSD card, which should be formatted to FAT32. After formatting, simply copy the downloaded firmware file onto the microSD card. It is advised to ensure that no other files are present on the card to avoid potential conflicts during the update process. With the firmware file successfully copied, insert the microSD card back into the dash cam. Then, power on the device. Most Vantrue dash cams will automatically detect the new firmware and begin the update process. Be sure to wait for the dash cam to indicate that the update is complete, which may involve restarting the device. After the update, it is a good practice to check the firmware version within the settings of your dash cam to confirm that the update was successful. For detailed instructions specific to your model, checking the user manual or the current web page for resources would be beneficial.
