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.

will announce “in park mode”. It will start recording 10 second
video footage when motion triggered. When ignition is turned on

recording. (Requires installation with optional XVIEW Hard Wire
Kit (XVHWC).
