In order for you to use the Dashcam, the vehicle must be equipped with MBUX Augmented Reality for Navigation (U19). You will need your own USB (USB-A or USB-C dependent on vehicle) memory device to save your footage. This feature is only available on specific next generation MBUX equipped vehicles.
The presented functions are dependent on the particular vehicle model, the individual configuration and the particular market.

Captures defining moments
If you love spectacular roads, why not use the existing camera technology in your vehicle to film the highlights of your next road trip? To make your unique experiences truly memorable ones. Use the windscreen's built-in camera to capture breathtaking videos (in some models the inclusion of taking photos), from your front-row seat and fill your car-travel diary with unique footage.
You can use the Dashcam software to film the trips in your car and save them as videos or photos on an external USB* memory device. The videos have a resolution of 1920 x 1280 pixels and a frame rate of up to 25 fps. Your road speed and the time of day, recorded automatically, are embedded visibly in the videos. You can control the recording intuitively using the menu on the media display, the Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel or the touchpad in the center console. Existing camera technology is used for the recording, so there's no need for any additional external equipment or cables other than a USB* memory device. You can play back your footage directly on the media display only when the vehicle is stationary or watch it on a tablet after transferring from your USB* memory device.
*USB-A or USB-C dependent on vehicle. Minimum 256gb recommended.
Note on use
When using the Dashcam and saving videos or photos, please observe the legal requirements of the country you're in, particularly privacy requirements. Use of the Dashcam may not be permitted in certain countries or in certain areas where picture taking and image recording are prohibited.
