To enable or disable audio recording on the Garmin DriveAssist 51, follow these steps:
1. From the main menu, select the Settings icon[1].
2. Scroll down to the "Dash Cam Settings" option and select it[1][2].
3. In the Dash Cam Settings menu, locate the "Record Audio" option[2][4].
4. If audio recording is currently enabled, select "Record Audio" to disable it. If it is disabled, select "Record Audio" to enable it[2][4].
5. The setting will toggle on or off accordingly. Audio recording is enabled by default[1][2].
By disabling audio recording, you can reduce file sizes and focus solely on video footage without capturing audio[1][2]. However, enabling audio can provide useful context in the event of an incident.
Remember to save any important video recordings before disabling audio, as the setting change will apply to future recordings only[5].
