installed on your smartphone.
For Android users, you need to download the Android Auto application before using your
EyeRide. Please also check that you have the Android Auto wireless version.
This step is not necessary for iOS users as Apple Carplay is already natively installed on your

before the first use.

settings → Auto-launch → Enable all options and select your device.

Setup your EyeRide
CAUTION: Do not pull on the video cable, it's a delicate and very fragile element.
First, it is essential to clean the surfaces on which you wish to apply the self-adhesive film.
Once the surface is clean, remove the protective film from the adhesive and apply it to the
desired location. Please refer to the instructions below for the best possible installation.
The installation is in three parts, the optical module, the external module and the audio kit. To
guide you as well as possible, here is the link to the installation video :
https://eye-lights.com/pages/support
Step one : Installing the optical module
Start by removing the cheek protection foams from your helmet and detach only the lower part of
the cap.
Attach the optical module in the left area of your helmet (helmet facing you) using the
self-adhesive film provided. Apply strong pressure to the film for about two minutes.
We recommend that you do not use your product for 24 hours after this step in order
to ensure an optimal stickiness of the adhesive.
For helmets with a sun visor, position and secure the wedge between the inside of the sun visor
and the inner cap. To benefit from a better level of fixation, we advise you to also use the second
adhesive provided by placing it on the vertical part of the wedge.
If your helmet does not have a sun visor : just place the wedge between the internal foam and
the shell of your helmet. It's quite simple, no need to add another adhesive, it sticks on its own.
In both cases, bring the horizontal part of the wedge into abutment against the helmet shell.
Remember to leave some slack in the cable connecting the two modules so that you can make
adjustments later.
Step two : Mounting the external module
Caution, the external module and the prism are connected by a ribbon cable, which passes the
video signal between the two modules, this cable is very fragile, do not pull on it, it could damage
your product.
The external module, like the prism, will be placed on the right side of the helmet.
Remove the protective film from the 3M adhesive, then place the module where you want it and
apply pressure for about 2 minutes.
Step three : audio kit installation
Install the flat speakers of the audio kit in the dedicated spots. The earphone connected to the
microphone, which has the shortest cable, is positioned on the right side of the helmet. To
properly position the directional microphone, the small white arrow-shaped mark must face your
mouth and therefore the inside of your helmet.
Prism adjustment
If it is not already done, turn on the product and connect it to display the Apple CarPlay or
Android Auto menu into the prism.
You can find the position of your prism by using the two main settings as below to view the menu
in the way that suits you best.
The internal module has a double adjustment system, consisting of a slider to allow it to slide
horizontally, and a double ball-and-socket joint rod to adjust the angle and depth. This allows you
to easily find the layout that best suits you.
Make sure to secure the wedge with your hand during this very first installation
because the double-sided tape will not have had time to polymerize yet. This
precaution is only necessary during the first installation.
Launch a navigation
To launch a navigation, program it on your phone and launch it in the navigation application of
your choice before turning on your EyeRide. Then simply turn on your product and the navigation
will appear in the prism.
Another option is to activate voice control via your EyeRide (by pressing the external module
button or the bluetooth remote one) and start navigation through it, for example by saying "New
destination, street XXX". The navigation will then start with the application configured by default
in Android Auto or Apple Carplay.
You can change the default navigation application via the panel icon with an arrow in the main
menu of Android Auto.
If you are using Apple Carplay you will just have to specify the name of the application you want
using your voice command. For example "Take me to Narbonne with Waze".
Bluetooth remote - (optional)
If you have a Bluetooth remote control for your EyeRide, read these few lines to know its
features !
To connect it to the Captain Rider application, it's very simple. Open the application and log in.
Then click on the settings icon at the top left of the menu and select the Bluetooth option.
Click on 'Connect my remote' and then press and hold the button on the remote control until the
indicator light turns green.
This step is necessary only for the first connection. The Bluetooth remote will automatically
connect to the application next time you use it.
Here is the complete list of features of your Bluetooth remote control :
Press and hold will trigger the voice command.
A simple click allows you to pause or resume your music.
Double clicks allows you to validate an action
When you receive a call, one click is all it takes to pick up or hang up, and two clicks to decline
the call.
Battery life and charge of the EyeRide
The EyeRide has an autonomy of 2 to 4 hours depending on its usage.
It is important to note that the 2 hours value implies full use of the device (maximum brightness of
the prism, light ring on, navigation in progress and music at maximum volume).
To charge your EyeRide's battery, connect the external module to the USB-C cable provided and
charge it from a wall outlet or via USB on a computer. LED indicators show the progress of the
charge.
Thus, for every 25% of battery available, a quarter of the ring on the EyeRide's external module is
lit. When the product is charging and this ring is fully illuminated, it means that your product is
fully charged.
On the other hand, if your product is out of charge and the light ring starts blinking faster and
faster, it means that the battery level is getting low and reaching a critical state. You will then
need to charge it quickly, otherwise it will turn off.
Tip: To increase the autonomy of your EyeRide, you can:
- Connect your device to an external battery using the provided USB-C cable
- Disable the LEDs of the light ring of your EyeRide with the Captain rider application.
- Adjust the brightness of the screen in your prism, also via the application
- Reduce the volume of music and/or voice guidance or disable them
