How to Use Audi's Hidden Dash Cam?
2 Answers
Long press the power button to turn on or off. When connected to the charger, the DVR will automatically turn on, and when disconnected from the charger, it will automatically turn off after a 5-second delay. After the DVR is turned on, it will automatically enter the recording mode, with the recording indicator symbol flashing. Press the OK button to stop recording during operation.
I just bought a new Audi, and I think its hidden dash cam design is fantastic. It automatically starts recording when the car is turned on without any manual operation. I simply downloaded the Audi app on my phone, paired it with the car's system via Bluetooth or WiFi—super easy and beginner-friendly. Once connected, I can view the footage in real-time on my phone and adjust video quality, like switching to 1080P HD or enabling night vision mode. When parked, I activate the monitoring feature; if the car gets bumped, it records a short clip to preserve evidence. I regularly check the storage card to ensure there's space and set it to loop recording, automatically overwriting old files to avoid missing crucial moments. The device is integrated into the car, taking up no extra space—it feels like having a safety assistant always on guard. I've made it a habit to quickly check the app's status weekly to ensure reliable operation. Though I hardly notice it while driving, it gives me great peace of mind.
