These Dash Cams support MicroSD Cards 16GB - 128GB class10 speed U1 or fast U3 write speed. The overwrite looping feature stresses memory cards reducing write cycle lifespan. Reasonably priced memory cards use TLC - triple 3bit cell NAND chips which have shorter lifespan than more expensive MLC - multi 2bit cell NAND chips which last longer. Don't make the mistake of spending more money purchasing superior MLC cards before confirming they are supported by the firmware. MLC cards handle more heat than TLC cards. Budget friendly option is to purchase 64 or 128 GB cheaper TLC chip based cards with U3 write speeds for a third of the price of MLC versions.
I no longer recommend LEXAR memory cards due to quality and reliability issues after Micron Technology sold Lexar memory card brand + trademark in August 31, 2017 to Longsys, a Shenzen, China-based flash memory company.
Always use Dashcam Menu to Format. Simple procedure = disconnect power cable to dashcam, insert memory card, connect power cable, if message appears to Format press Menu button (repeatedly for 64-256 GB) scroll down to select Format command. Format all new cards twice, disconnecting power between formats for best results. I keep 16-32 GB cards for firmware updates since they are already FAT32. Watch my Format 64/128GB Card video.
