QUOTE(Like a Bause @ Oct 29 2018, 02:48 PM) i see.. wondering why do they test it for such a long duration.. isn't this hard wire is a common stuff ? Because there are customer requested to remain the old parking mode style for those customer who using universal non viofo hardwire kit and some addon changing feature. Lab testing passed but again in real car environment testing have some issue popped up based on some end tester feedback. Viofo need to validate the issue.

QUOTE(KIntos @ Oct 29 2018, 11:35 AM) Latest news. Might be postponed again. Connector angle changing point and no fuse tap included. Thanks for the updates KIntos. Few questions: 1) Btw if we use the current hardwire kit & use the low bit rate parking mode. Will it drain the battery? (NA: I saw youtube videos people comparing the low bit rate parking mode on viofo a129 with the other brands) 2) As what I've been told, the cigarette power on my car will still be ON eventho i off the car engine. Can we use that for the parking mode? Will it drain the battery? p/s: I ordered the Viofo a129 and still waiting for it to arrive. This post has been edited by zafferZ: Oct 29 2018, 03:27 PM

Can we use that for the parking mode? Will it drain the battery? Some car mostly conti still have power even engine is off. Some can last 1 hour some 2 hours and some permanently on ciggy port. You need to find out on the car maker. p/s: I ordered the Viofo a129 and still waiting for it to arrive.

Some are using the 2 wires hardwire kit and the new 3 wires are coming soon. Some requested Viofo to consider letting them use the 2 wires hardwire kit instead of the 3 wires hardwire kit. So Viofo is implementing a function in the coming firmware that allows you to choose which hardwire kit is used. This is part of why there was some delay in the final 3 wires hardwire kit.

If you're considering using a powerbank to power the parking mode, please get a powerbank that is using lithium iron phosphate and not that powerbank you can buy in computer shops that use lithium ion.
Lithium ion not safe to use in hot weather.

U can try and check. Some only lasts 1-2 hours or 15mins only. Not all car maker do setting up as permanent supply to ciggy port.

I can mark the video first, without taking out sd card and using pc one by one finding the timing. And i also plan wire x9 to cig power if i change to subaru forester, to prevent warranty void?

I'm not sure about the iRoad X9. Why don't you read the manual? Should be all in there. Also if you have hit someone and the impact triggers the sensor, that video will be put into the emergency folder. All car manufacturers will void the warranty for anything not installed in the factory.

Korean dashcams are more sensitive than China dashcam. Which is a good thing. You can change to a lower sensitivity if you don't want it to be that sensitive.

My viofo a129 just arrived yesterday & able to install front & rear cam. For now only using the cigarette lighter for the power source.
So far works well & the video quality is great. Just one issue I noticed & if someone can help me here:
I changed the settings to my preference & After each time I start the engine, my cam automatically change the setting back to default.
Anyone encounter this issue with the a129? Any solution?
Thanks!
