Step-by-step installation:
Prepare the Dash Cam
- Attach the Piqo Dash Cam to your windscreen using the pre-fitted adhesive pad.
- Position it behind the rearview mirror for the best road view.
- Keep the spare adhesive pad for future use.
Connect the USB-C cable
- Plug the angled end of the USB-C cable into the Dash Cam, creating a neat, low-profile connection.
Plug in the 12V Power Cable
- Insert the dual USB-C 12V power supply into your car’s 12V socket (cigarette lighter).
- Connect the straight end of the USB-C cable to one of the USB-C ports.
Hide the cable
- Run the cable neatly along the windscreen edge.
- Tuck it into the gaps between trim and glass using the trim tool included in the box.
Apply the Warning Sticker
- Stick the provided warning sticker to your car window.
- This may be required by law in some regions.
Test the Dash Cam
- Start your car’s ignition—the Piqo should power up automatically.
- Check the live view in the app to ensure correct road alignment.
⚠️ Important: Smart Parking
To use Smart Parking, your Piqo needs a permanently live power source.
This requires either the:
- Piqo Pro Install Cable
- Piqo Quick Connect Cable
The 12V cable included in the box only powers the Dash Cam while driving, so Smart Parking cannot be used.
