How to fit your black box

Getting your black box set up is simple. Your device will be posted to you by recorded delivery within 24 hours of purchase, so you can expect to receive it very quickly. Follow the steps below to get everything installed and ready for your first journey.

Follow these steps to get your black box set up:

  1. Park safely
    Make sure your car is parked safely before you start.
  2. Make sure your windscreen is clean and dry
    In colder months, turn your heaters on and warm the inside of the windscreen before you stick the cradle on.
    In summer, you do not need to heat the windscreen – it will already be warm enough.
  3. Fit the black box
    Peel off the backing and stick the cradle to the inside of your windscreen, in the position shown in your fitting email. Push the device on so it is secure.
  4. Pull out the white tab
    This switches the black box on and gets it ready to start sending us your data.
  5. Take a fitment photo
    Stand in front of your car and take a clear photo showing your number plate and black box on the windscreen.
  6. Upload your photo
    Upload the picture to the Better Driver by Carrot app.
    You must do this within 48 hours of your policy starting or 48 hours from the device being delivered, whichever is later.
