​
Are you wondering if the cables, mounts, and accessories from the new DR970X PLUS Series models (DR970X BOX PLUS and DR970X-2CH LTE PLUS) are compatible with previous versions? Look no further! We've got you covered with this comprehensive article addressing the most common queries.
In this informative piece, we'll delve into the frequently asked questions surrounding the compatibility of the cables and accessories. 

Cable Compatibility: 
Power cables
When it comes to power cables, compatibility is key. Here's what you need to know:
All models in the X and X Plus Series are compatible with each other's power cables. However, they are not compatible with power cables from earlier models such as the DR650S, DR750S, DR900S, etc., or with the DR750-2CH LTE and DR750X-2CH LTE Plus.
DR970X PLUS Series comes equipped with the hardwiring cable which enables you to connect the cameras directly to your vehicle's fuse box, providing continuous 24/7 protection with Parking Mode. Optional cigar jack cable is available for purchase.

Since the X Series (DR590X, DR750X, DR900X), the power adapters have changed to “3-wire type”, to support direct hardwiring and take advantage of the camera’s built-in voltage monitor. The same 3-wire type power adapters are also used in the newest dash cam models, which means they can be reused. This also means the power cables from older BlackVue dash cams (such as the S Series as well as past built-in LTE models) cannot be used.

Video cables
​Compatible with any past BlackVue coaxial cable.
The coaxial video cables are identical to the older S (ie. DR900S), X (ie. DR750X) and X Plus (ie. DR900X Plus) Series. 
Note that DR590X, DR590W and DR590 models use different types of video cables (analog / phone TRRS jack type).

Mount compatibility
The front and rear cameras for DR970X Box Plus come with different design for mount holders from other earlier models except for DR770X Box. The mount holders for Box series come with hex-screw to lock the rotation. 

Parking Mode accessories compatibility
Same as past models.
The DR970X Box Plus supports both G-sensor-based (when connected via 12V auxiliary–cigarette lighter type–power adapter) and ignition-based Parking Mode (when hardwired). It also support the Cellink batteries. 

​Rear and interior camera compatibility
Compatible with DR970X, DR770X, DR900X Plus, DR750X Plus rear cameras.
That includes: Rear cams (RC110F, RC1), Interior IR cams (RC110F-IR, RC1-IR), Truck rear cams (ERC110F, ERC1).
Rear cameras prior to these models won’t be supported.

Tamper-proof Case compatibility
The DR970X Box Plus models include built-in tamper-proofing by default, with a lock-protected main unit as well as screw-locked camera mounts.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your dashcam, the information above can help determine whether you may need rewiring of the cable or others. Fret not—rewiring and installation can be performed safely within an hour or so by one of our authorized-dealers to ensure compatibility with your new BlackVue dashcam.
