Click the menu option on the screen, scroll up or down to find the video you want to replay; press OK to view playback. First remove the TF memory card; insert the TF memory card into a card reader, connect it to the computer's USB port, then select playback after connecting to the computer.
Checking the video recordings from the BMW X1's dashcam is actually quite straightforward, and from my experience, most cars are similar. Generally, whether it's a factory-installed or aftermarket dashcam, you can operate it through the vehicle's infotainment system. First, start the vehicle and navigate to the main menu on the central display. Look for options like 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Additional Features,' then select the dashcam application to directly browse the most recent video clips. If you want to export and save the footage, you can use the SD card from the dashcam—remove it and insert it into a computer to copy the files, making it easier to review details on a larger screen. I often do this, especially after trips to review road conditions. The dashcam can also detect collisions and automatically lock critical videos to prevent them from being overwritten. Make it a habit to regularly check the battery level to avoid data loss due to power failure—this little device can really be a lifesaver.
