Dash Cam Setup for Auto Start

Has anyone been able to have the dash cam start automatically each time you start the car? It is a real pain to remember to activate it each time you get in the car. I remember in the past a few individuals were able to get their dash cam to auto start each time.

Do you know if that particular MBUX feature is also carried over to the prior generation NTG6 vehicles?

Just turn on AUTO LOOP recording. That enables it to start each time the vehicle turns on. Easy Peasy. I posted some pics for other people if you look for my post,.

It is supposed to be a feature of the camera, I have two cameras in two cars connected to the cigarette lighter, the Auto Loop is on and they're starting every time I'm starting the cars.

The discussion is about the MBUX dash cam, you cannot assume it behaving like any average after market camera.

Goto Apps
Dashcam
Settings
AutoLoop recording, tick the box to on

Thats it. Now it will record each time the car starts. Once the usb stick is full, it will start re-recording over the initial recordings and continue in a loop

Did you forget: "go to the workshop for a SW update if the AutoLoop recording option is not available?

Hi,
Has anyone been able to verify if 'Auto Loop' is available for the W223? I agree trying to turn on Loop recording every time I start the car is a pain, and sometimes forget to turn it on.
My car will be going in for service soon, and would like to get this update if it's truly available. Thanks.

I specify above how to turn it on, Im in the US and car was delivered with it few months ago. I do have zero layer update, I think a few folks had mentioned if you dont have zero layer update then it might not be enabled. It's definitely available and working if you have the proper software i assume. Check my post a few back for how to

Certainly possible on the W223. I also used to manually turn on the built-in dashcam after every restart. But after updating my MBUX to the latest version, the dashcam started operating as soon as I turned on the car.

For those still struggling, I recommend first updating your MBUX through your dealer. If that still fails, try one of this forum's resident coders (BenzNinja or EleBest PTE). Surely they will be able to get it working.

could you please help?
thanks.

MBUX in your W213 is HU6, different from HU7 in 223 and 206, which can do "auto start" when ignition is on.
