Retrofitting
Information

Figure 1
Model Year:

As of 2017

Note:

The Porsche front camera (dashcam ) is affixed to the LEFT of the interior mirror (viewed in direction of
travel) on the windshield and is connected to the vehicle electrical system.
It is ideal for making video recordings of driving situations and while parking. It can be configured and
operated using a related app on your smartphone.
Recorded videos are stored on the supplied SD card and previous recordings are overwritten.
If the dashcam detects a shake/vibration or if the radar sensor is triggered, the recorded video is stored
separately and not overwritten. Recordings can be downloaded directly from the SD card or via the app.
