Now only I realized this U1000 did warn about oncoming AES on PLUS highway.

Human voice alert when around 700 meters and 300 meters away from the AES location. Not bad.

If using parking mode via the hardwire kit, will the 12v car battery be drained quicker than usual?

I mean, average 12v battery life would be 1yr to 1.5yrs.
But having this parking mode will definitely drain more right?

And can we use the parking mode on Certain times?
Or it can only be used all the time whenever we switched off car engine?

I've been using U1000 since the release in Malaysia. Before that was the F800 Pro.

My car been using the same Amaron Hi-Life NS60 for about 3 years now after changing the battery that came from Honda factory.

Thinkware dashcam has a voltage cutoff which I've set to 12v and also a timer in which the parking mode will turn itself off after the set time. Mine is set for 48 hours.

Here is the settings for the parking mode.

There is an option to turn off the parking mode during the winter.

The parking mode will always turn on after the engine is off. Unless you manually off the Thinkware before you off the engine then the parking mode won't turn on.

Technically won't void the warranty as there are any wires cut.

But car manufacturers will say anything not factory-installed will be voided.

Actually, fuse taps just plug into the fuse to piggyback only.

But in the end, it will depend on the service center manager. I heard some very bad will report any minor mods done to the car even when nothing is wrong.
