After connecting the power, press the power button once, and the dash cam will automatically enter the recording mode and start recording; 2. To set the main menu, press the menu button to enter the main menu; 3. When the power is turned off, the recorder will delay shutdown for 5 seconds.

When using the dashcam in my new Sylphy, it automatically starts recording as soon as the car is ignited. There's a dedicated icon on the central control screen—tapping it allows me to adjust the recording quality, such as selecting 1080P HD to ensure clear footage. Loop recording is enabled by default, which automatically overwrites old files to prevent memory from filling up. To review recordings, I can either connect the memory card to a computer via USB to export files or pair it with a smartphone app to view live footage directly. I usually enable the parking surveillance feature, which automatically triggers recording if someone approaches, helping prevent scratches, though it's worth noting this may drain the battery faster. Regularly formatting the memory card helps reduce errors and lag. The recordings serve as solid evidence in accidents, helping minimize disputes. Keeping the lens clean and unobstructed is essential to maintain a clear field of view. Overall, the operation is straightforward and requires minimal hassle.

The built-in dash cam in the Sylphy is super easy to use. It starts recording as soon as you start the car, no need to toggle any switches. Just tap the central control screen to find the dash cam settings menu, where you can select the recording resolution—I usually go for the HD option. The memory automatically loops and deletes old files, so no worries about storage. To review footage, simply connect a data cable to your laptop to export files, or use the mobile app to view live feeds from the car. I often use it to document minor road incidents as protection against scams. It also has a parking monitor feature that starts recording if someone approaches the car while it's parked, adding an extra layer of security. Just remember to avoid exposing the memory card to prolonged high temperatures, as it may overheat and shut down. Overall, it's hassle-free, practical, and a joy to use.

The new Sylphy's dashcam automatically activates after starting the vehicle. Enter the system settings interface to adjust the recording quality, such as selecting 720P to save space. The loop recording feature is enabled by default to avoid manual cleanup. Export data via USB port or view it using the APP to ensure important clips can serve as accident evidence. It is recommended to regularly check the card's health to prevent malfunctions and keep the lens clean for improved safety and reliability. Avoid prolonged parking surveillance during use to prevent excessive power consumption, ensuring worry-free daily driving.

Why does the sound become louder after installing an aftermarket catalytic converter?

It may be due to a leak in the replaced catalytic converter, and it is recommended to replace it with a new one. The following details the differences between OEM and aftermarket catalytic converters: Suggestion: In fact, there is no problem with replacing it with a qualified aftermarket catalytic converter. However, the auto parts market is mixed with good and bad products. Without professional knowledge, it is best to choose to replace it with an OEM catalytic converter at a 4S shop. Difference: Generally speaking, OEM catalytic converters have better compatibility than aftermarket ones. Therefore, using an OEM catalytic converter can effectively catalyze harmful substances in the exhaust. If a low-quality catalytic converter is used, it will not only cause excessive emissions but also increase the exhaust pressure of the vehicle, which will have a negative impact on the engine's power output.
