There could be several reasons why your Xiaomi Yi Smart Dash Camera is not connecting to your phone. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check compatibility: Ensure that your phone is compatible with the dash camera. Check the device specifications and compatibility list provided by Xiaomi to confirm compatibility.
2. Restart both devices: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart both your dash camera and your phone and then try connecting again.
3. Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Make sure that both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on your phone are turned on. The dash camera uses these wireless technologies to connect to your phone.
4. Check Wi-Fi network: Ensure that your phone is not connected to any other Wi-Fi network. The dash camera creates its own Wi-Fi network, so your phone should be connected to the dash camera's network.
5. Update firmware: Check for any available firmware updates for your dash camera. Updating the firmware can often address compatibility or connectivity issues.
6. Reset settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the dash camera's settings to factory defaults. Refer to the user manual or Xiaomi's support website for instructions on how to do this.
7. Contact customer support: If you have tried all the steps above and the issue persists, it might be a hardware or software problem with either the dash camera or your phone. Contact Xiaomi's customer support for further assistance and troubleshooting.

To use the Xiaomi Yi Smart Dash Camera, follow these steps:
1. Mount the camera: Attach the dash camera securely to your vehicle's windshield using the suction cup mount provided. Ensure it has a clear view of the road ahead.
2. Power on: Connect the dash camera to your vehicle's power source using the provided USB power cable. The camera will power on automatically once the ignition is turned on.
3. Adjust settings: After powering on, use the camera's buttons or mobile app to navigate through the settings. You can adjust video quality, select loop recording, enable/disable various features, etc.
4. Start recording: The camera starts recording automatically when connected to power. It captures videos in a loop and replaces the oldest recordings when the storage is full. You can also press the camera's shutter button to manually start/stop recording.
5. Monitor and access footage: You can view and manage the recorded videos by either accessing the camera's built-in display or connecting it to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. Download the Yi Dash Cam app on your device and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the camera.
6. Save important footage: If you come across an incident or important footage, you can protect it from being overwritten by pressing the emergency button (usually marked with an exclamation mark) on the camera. This will prevent the file from being deleted during the loop recording.
7. Playback and share videos: On the Yi Dash Cam app or on the camera's display, you can browse through the recorded videos and play them back. You can also download the recordings to your phone or share them via social media platforms directly from the app.
Remember to check local regulations before using the dash camera to ensure compliance with laws regarding windshield obstruction and use of recording devices in vehicles.
