Here are the detailed instructions for each step to ensure a smooth installation process.

Step 1: Mounting the OEM Bracket to the Dash Cam

Installation Instructions:

1. Remove the protective taps on the back of the dash cam: Use an appropriate tool, such as a small flathead screwdriver, to gently pry off and remove these taps.
2. Unscrew the screws behind the taps: Use a screwdriver to completely remove the screws and set them aside temporarily.
3. Prepare the OEM bracket’s backing plate: Take out the OEM bracket’s backing plate, ensuring that the holes on the plate align with the screw holes on the back of the dash cam.
4. Secure the backing plate to the dash cam: Reinsert the screws from step 2 and use them to secure the backing plate to the back of the dash cam unit.
5. Attach the bracket handle: Connect the handle part of the OEM bracket to the backing plate, ensuring all connection points are tight.
6. Check the assembly: Ensure all parts are securely fastened and there is no looseness.

Step 2: Securing the OEM Bracket Inside the Vehicle

Installation Instructions:

1. Remove the existing mount in the vehicle: Carefully use a screwdriver to remove the bracket or mount that is currently in place within the vehicle.
2. Keep the base of the existing mount: Ensure the base of the original mount remains in the vehicle, serving as the mounting base for the new OEM bracket.
3. Align the OEM bracket with the base: Position the OEM bracket on top of the existing base, making sure the holes align.
4. Secure the bracket to the base with screws: Insert screws through the holes in the OEM bracket and screw them into the base, ensuring the bracket is firmly installed.

Center Console Mount

Innovative Placement with Center Console Mount

For those who prefer their dash cam off the windshield, the center console mount is an excellent alternative that keeps the dashboard uncluttered.

Compatibility:

• Supported Models: Supports all mirror dash cams

Materials Needed:

• Center console mount
• WOLFBOX dash cam

Installation Steps:

• Step 1: Thoroughly clean the area of the center console where the mount will be placed to ensure the adhesive sticks well.
• Step 2: Peel off the protective film from the 3M adhesive pad on the console mount.
• Step 3: Firmly press the mount onto the console, holding it for about 30 seconds to secure the bond.

• Step 4: Secure the dash cam by wrapping the silicone straps around the Center Console Mount and fastening them tightly.

• Step 5: Neatly route the power cable to the vehicle’s power supply, ensuring it does not interfere with vehicle controls or visibility.
