Please take a note, this step below is not meant for Xiaoyi Black Edition. I'm not recommending purchasing Black edition.
The step should work only like picture below:
1. Create 3 empty files with notepad with filenames with your computer:
engmode (without any extension, check your hidden system windows setting).
AAA222CCC.txt (text file)
SN.txt (text file)
2. Open & edit SN.txt & AAA222CCC.txt take the serial number from the unit only 14 digits start from the left and change word CN to US and save it.
e.g. CABAAACNC01650 > CABAAAUSC01650
e.g. CA31ABBCNB02780 > CA31ABBUSB02780
3. Copy all three files into the SD card.
4. Power up the Yi dash cam using usb power adapter (don't connect USB to computer).
5. Don't surprised with this step, look like you brick the dashcam. The serial number will appear and change to US instead of CN and the camera will not function with any menu at all, and with written 'support@xiaoyi.com' (or similar)
6. Turn off Yi dash cam.
7. Put back the SD card to your computer, format it.
8. Download English Emergency AID firmware from
https://www.yitechnology.com/support/firmware_dash/id/3
Filename should be 'FWCARC10.bin'
9. Copy 'FWCARC10.bin' to SD card and Power on the camera using USB power adapter.
10. The Yi Dash Camera will start processing update, be patient to wait while the light still flashing from slow to fast.
11. Once flashing is done will see the English language menu.
12. Finish.
