Default SIM card for recording front camera

is there a mb size limit when installing a new sim card to record with the front camera?
I have a 16mb and it works just fine. My friend bought a 128mb and the car will not recognize it. So he tried 32mb, no luck, 16 no luck. Is there something in settings
he needs to turn on? It seems like I just installed the card and my camera works just fine.

Any help

If he's using a SIM card, then that's the problem right there.

It uses an SD Card, short for Secure Digital (developed by SanDisk Panasonic and Toshiba)

The card needs to be formatted Fat32, that may be your friends problem. I have a 128gb card in my car with no issues.

The other thing to check is that the write protect on the side is not in the read only mode. It's a small slider on the side of the card. If this is in read only mode it will appear as if there is no card because the options to record in the car are grayed out.

You are correct on both issues. Sorry about that.
