Plugged in my dashcam while installing it onto my windscreen. After installation was done, roughly 30 mins after being plugged in, I noticed the USB charger was hot to the touch!!

I have been using Mi-Charger all the while and it didn't heat up so easily. Can I use the Mi-Charger instead of the USB charger which was provided? Bought the dashcam from you dFaro!! I demand an explanation since you're in this thread.. kekeke

Another thing I've noticed after installing the GPS mount, I can't readjust the position anymore! The adhesive pad is strongly stuck to the windscreen. Any ideas what to do? Wish to do minor repositioning

Any USB charger is fine as long as there is enough power to the dashcam. I'm using Aukey 4 port USB charger with Quick Charge3.0 to power my dashcams and charge my S7.

You can try heating up the 3m tape and slow pull it off and reposition again. Maybe can work. The video from Jetz212 is a good tutorial.

It just need an usb port for power , any usb port will do . I am using Roidmi 2 and it works fine . And yes the 3M adhesive tape that comes with it is very strong , check out this video on how to remove them safely .

Thanks!! Btw, do any of you remove your dash cam from your cars if you park under the sun?

Never for most of my dashcams. A119 is quite discreet so no need to take down when park. I scared the mount get loose... LOL!

Actually my question was more to the temperature in the car under the sun that might damage the electronics?? But yea. It'll be a problem if the mount becomes loose. Haha!!

One of the instructions on the booklet was also to install the cam within the wiping range of the rain wiper to maintain good visibility when raining. Since the lens is quite wide, is it really necessary??

My car is parked in the sun and rain every day at work in Cyberjaya... Anyway A119 is capacitor based... So you won't have the bloated or exploding lithium battery like those dashcams that uses lithium battery... Car Cam Central have heat tested the A119 in a modified oven and no distortions or anything...

I think there is no way to stick not in the wiping zone... LOL!

Please read the Update Instructions.txt file in the zip file on how to upgrade the loader first then upgrade the new firmware.

*If you don't upgrade the loader, the settings on the A119 won't be able to save and you need to setup the A119 every time it power on*

Just updated mine. Very straight forward.

GB still no news from Viofo about their stock... Foxoffer usually the fastest... But USD$129.99 for A119S with GPS and CPL filter? Wow! Hopefully, GB will be cheaper...

I also say in eBay selling but some forumers confirmed they don't have stock yet from Viofo also...

Shhh... I know the cost price for A119S with GPS is about USD$X0 only... innocent.gif Hahahha...
