Clean the glass and lens, frame the road and adjust the CPL filter before checking a test recording. Set up controls while parked.

No rear-camera update is needed for this supplied front-only package. Back up clips and settings, maintain power during updates and recheck recording, HDR, audio and parking afterward.
