and show the contents of your SD Card. Go to the ‘Support & Downloads’ page
on nextbase.com and download the newest firmware version (i.e R05.4); this will download as a .bin file.
Drag and drop the .bin file to the SD Card.
Eject the SD Card and insert it back into your Dash Cam. When power is supplied to your Dash Cam it
will turn on, and will automatically begin updating. While updating, the red LED to the left of the screen
will start flashing. Once the update has been completed your Dash Cam will automatically restart.
- If you have a PC, You can also update your Dash Cam using the ‘Update Dash Cam’ function on
MyNextbase Player™. This function will NOT work on a Mac. Connect your Dash Cam to PC via USB,
select ‘Firmware Update’ and open up MyNextbase Player™ (available to download for free from
nextbase.com). Select ‘Update Dash Cam’. A pop-up will appear on your PC describing your current
firmware, and the latest version available. When you select ‘Update’, your Dash Cam will automatically
begin updating. While the Dash Cam is updating, the red LED will flash. Once the update has been

required for the Dash Cam to be updated.

straight into video live view mode, ready to use. If ‘Keep User Settings’ is turned OFF, after the update
is complete, the Dash Cam will boot up into the First Time Use menu, which must be completed before
the Dash Cam can be used. Files saved on the SD card will not be affected by the firmware update.
