Jus download and update it.
The start up sound different
When you turn off your car.
Normally is will record for few sec thn turn off. But for new firmware, it will show u summary like how often u acceleration, sudden stop and one more I forgot.
Thn total time u drive till you turn off your engine
*
New startup sound sounds nicer...

Haven't seen the drive status yet as the yi dashcam is hidden behind the rear view mirror...

How to upgrade firmware?

Use the app to update to the Yi dashcam or manually download the firmware from xioayi website and copy to the microSD card to update...

Maybe because it's F1.8, too prone to bokeh. I also find it not that clear during sunny day compared to another dashcam that I had. It's really winning at night, it looks like sunny day at night. My other dashcam was F2.0 and day video is really much better. Night is so so while really dark is poor.
*
The Yi dashcam's 1296p is actually interpolated from 1080p that's why it's grainy... Anyway, no dashcam in the market now can see license plate clearly while the vehicles are moving...

I think the interface is quite straight forward. I bought the Chinese language device as well and I can't read Chinese but I felt the settings is pretty straight forward.

Yes quite easy to understand by looking at the icons only. Also the app is in english and you can setup the Yi dashcam from there...

Hi guys may I know where do sell the bracket itself only? My bracket do not suck on the windscreen, keep on falling down.

Can try cleaning the windscreen with glass cleaner and also use hot water on the suction cup. Fling dry. Stick again and see?

If still cannot, apply a very thin layer of petroleum jelly on the suction cup and stick on the windscreen.

Will it ruin the tint?
Mine, once a week will fall down.
Ha ha ha

Thanks.

Think it falls downs cause of the heat or the suction cup and windscreen is dirty.

I read that the petroleum jelly can make it stick longer than without.

Used the Yi Dashcam since the 11.11 sale from Lazada. Anybody got anyway to minimize the glare from the number plates?

I think a CPL filter might fix this and also the reflections on the windscreen

My was english firmware, Is it chinese firmware better?
How can I change back to chinese firmware?
1080P30 only can use the ADAS? When I set to others resolution ADAS auto close.
Dont have parking record? Can I attach power bank put in car for it to record?
Thank you

If yours is the international version, then your is English version.

Chinese firmware is a few version newer than the international version.

There is a way to flash international version firmware to the chinese version but not sure will work the other way or not... There is a video in the 1st post on this...

ADAS only works with 1080p ma... Other resolution not supported...

Yi dashcam don't have parking mode feature. Yes you can try to use a powerbank to power the Yi dashcam to continue recording when parked. But do know that powerbank and heat don't play well especially when you parked outside in the sun. The battery in the powerbank might get bloated or worst case scenario explode. The risk is yours.

Another way is to hardwire to your car battery but you'll be draining your car battery.

am abit curious, in your case, (car behind hit your car with enough force to push your car into the car infront) doesn't the person infront claim from your insurance anyway?
*
If not mistaken, usually is the last car behind that bangs is at fault and all cars involved can claim that person's car insurance.

Hi Guys,
      I updated my Xiaoyi Dash Cam with the above firmware via my Phone Mi Max. After updated, now my Xiaoyi Dash Cam only stuck at Xiaoyi logo in pink colour and even though reset many times and do the same firmware update still the same. Anyone encounter the same issue also? Anyone can advise me on this? Thanks.

Read here:

B. If YI Smart Dash Camera cannot boot normally, try push the reset button on the top of the camera with a pin. If the camera still cannot boot:

Download FWCARC10.bin to the micro SD card and put it in the root directory (make sure the file name remains FWCARC10.bin)
Insert the micro SD card in the camera
Connect the camera to a power source, then switch on the camera
The yellow light at the right-bottom corner of the camera will flash, but the screen remains dark (if the light is not flashing, push the reset button on the top of the camera with a pin)
Wait for 1-5 minutes before the update is successful and the camera is restarted
Format the micro SD card after the camera is successfully restarted, otherwise the update process will be started every time the camera is restarted

Not really. It depends on how you report.

If you bang the front first then the back bang you, then you will lost your NCD. If the person behind bang you then result in you banging the front car, then you wont lose your NCD. Now you know how to report la...

I'm a banana and I'm using the chinese version of the Yi dashcam. The Yi dashcam app is in english, you can use it to configure the dashcam from the app...

There is an international version of the Yi dashcam which is in english.
