DASH CAM FIRMWARE UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS
For optimal performance, check www.cobra.com periodically for firmware updates.
• Connect the Dash Cam to your computer using the included USB to Micro-USB cable.
• Power on the Dash Cam and select Connect to Computer using the record/select
button.
• The camera will be listed as DRIVEHD in Windows Explorer.
• Download the update file from www.cobra.com and save it somewhere you will
remember it. It will be called SD_CarDV.bin. Note: You do not need to double click or
open this file on the computer.
• Copy/paste or drag the update file you downloaded (SD_CarDV.bin) into the root
directory of the DRIVEHD folder. Note: the file name must be SD_CarDV.bin in order to
update the firmware.
• Wait for the file to transfer and then safely disconnect the Dash Cam from the
computer. The Dash Cam will turn off.
• Reconnect the Dash Cam to your computer. The Dash Cam will turn on and
automatically boot into the Firmware Update Menu.
• Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight YES and then select it with the Select Button. The
unit will update for 10-15 seconds and then turn off.
• Power the unit on. The Dash Cam will again be automatically booted into the Firmware
Update Menu. You can now select DELETE to delete the update file off of your
unit. Alternatively, you can connect to your computer and manually delete the
SD_CarDV.bin file from the Micro SD card. This will prevent the unit from booting into
the Firmware Update Menu in future power cycles. Your Dash Cam is now updated.
