QuestionCan you disable Alexa and just use the camera?
Asked 6 years ago by Stvak.
- Answer Yes, you can simply use the device as a dashcam. By default, the device immediately starts recording video when it turns on. It continues recording, overwriting the oldest, non-saved video until it turns off. You can view and transfer photos and videos by connecting the device to your computer using a micro-USB cable.

QuestionDoes this work in older cars?
Asked 6 years ago by Loulou.
- Answer Yes as long as you have a windshield to attach the device to :) While an older car may not have bluetooth connectivity, you do not need to connect the device to your car's sound system through bluetooth. The device has a speaker which is loud enough. I do not connect it to my car via bluetooth. Instead, I connect it to a small portable bluetooth speaker which provides better and louder sound than the built-in speaker. I prefer to leave my car's speakers for my other media. I attach the portable bluetooth speaker to a convenient place in the car with Velcro. You can also connect the device to your car's speakers via an auxiliary cable (not included). When I was setting up the device, I was asked if I wanted to connect by bluetooth to my car's speakers. I just responded yes and then continued to connect it to my portable bluetooth speaker.

QuestionHow long does it take to install. Does it require sensors for lane change warnings?
Asked 7 years ago by Salmon2day.
- Answer It's a piece of cake to install. I bought the suction cup option from Garmin so I can quickly change between multiple vehicles. The main unit is the camera and lane sensor... it's actually very accurate, which means that every time you even get close to the other lane it beeps...you may actually feel a strong desire to turn it off if you drive a larger vehicle like an SUV.

QuestionSince the Garmin itself does not connect to the Wifi but uses my phones cell signal, I am wondering, since my car has Wifi, and my phone is connected to that Wifi, will the Garmin therefore "use" that signal, or will it still swallow my 4g signal?
Asked 7 years ago by Muzzikmann.
- Answer It will use whatever connection your phone is using.

QuestionCan the lane departure tones be turned off? It's really really annoying! Goes off every time you come up on a car at a stop light. It's not realistic to stay 5 car lengths away from the car in front of you at a light...lots birds would be flipped at You!
Asked 7 years ago by Techgeek.
- Answer Aside from muting the device itself, you can turn off selective features: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/speakplus/EN-US/GUID-EFD3414D-5D4A-4BB7-9496-ECAD2C4D994E.html I don't see anything about just turning off the tone for that specific feature.

QuestionI ordered the speak plus. I have a 2013 infiniti FX 37. I scheduled Geek squad installation and need to know if there is any additional hardware that I need to buy to have it installed. I want the power source to be from the veh no visible cords.
Asked 7 years ago by BBfan.
- Answer If you don't want to plug into the DC outlet of the car, then yeah, you will need an adapter from AutoZone (or similar) that will allow you to tap into the fuse area either with the DC power adapter provided or by cutting that off and using the 2 wires inside the power cord sheath.

QuestionHow can dash cam footage be accessed? Is there cloud storage for the dashcam footage? If there's cloud storage, how much data/hour would the dashcam footage use? Alternatively, can video quality be adjusted to lower bandwidth usage?
Asked 7 years ago by Ken.
- Answer Footage of incidents is recorded, and you can access it using the VIRB mobile app to view and share footage. The device uses your existing smartphone’s data plan with cellular signal, and data usage depends on the skills enabled. The dash cam uses a data card and the resolution is Up to 1080p/30fps. There are 2 resolution settings and you can select higher or lower.

QuestionFrom what I understand, Oregon does not permit dash cams mounted on windshield? Can this be mounted upright on the dashboard?
Asked 6 years ago by ORegonNana.
- Answer It could be mounted on the dash. There is no screen like a dash cam. If asked about it on the windshield, I'd just say it's an Alexa device...
