Design flaws not very suitable for suction cup camera

Cable quality is good Minus: no fuse plugs, need to buy separately. The mini-port connects to the cable with an L-loop, making it difficult to use to connect a suction cup mounted camera. A straight cable that plugs into the miniport would be helpful.

Pros
  • normal price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Does what it's supposed to do... I find

I've had it for 3 months and everything worked mostly as expected. No flat/dead batteries, parking mode works great and the camera works fine most of the time... I'm having an issue with my A129 Pro Duo where sometimes it won't record while driving like it doesn't recognize the engine start and the car is driving. This happens about 10% of the time, not sure if the problem is with the camera or with this cable, but I'm sure everything is installed correctly, because as I said, all the functions

Pros
  • a handy thing
Cons
  • tape

Killed my battery. in automotive electronics

Don't trust this thing. Killed my battery. Connect it absolutely correctly to a fuse checked with a multimeter. I haven't driven my car for a few days and it completely drained my batteries when the 12.2v was cut off. I have a stop-start jeep with two batteries. It wiped them both out. Dead like dead. Couldn't do it or something. They're in the cabin, so they must be AGM. It cost me over $250 and a big headache to get new ones without a working car and replace them. I guess I put all that money

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Little things

Three out of four of them didn't work right away. VanTop blocks did it.

The only good thing about this thing was that I can return kits for free. Now the plumber I paid to take apart parts of my dashboard to run wires under the body panels, that money is gone. While the camera gets high marks from others, I have to say that the cable set is not to be trusted. When I see reviews mentioning that it doesn't work, I attribute it to user error or an accidentally faulty device. Four units again, three failed units. I have designed electronic products that have been sold…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Almost never

Low voltage inaccuracy

I overlooked that there are no fuses because I have low voltage protection. I haven't driven in weeks so this is a must have if I want to use the parking feature. I noticed the reviews and was hoping to get a set that would work correctly at low voltage, but I was wrong. I did some dyno tests with the A129. The cable works as expected, you must have both yellow and red turned on for the device to turn on for the first time. It runs on around 200mA when only one camera is connected. When it's on

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Exchange availability

1 of 5. which ones? on car video

1 out of 5. To make a long story short, bought 2 VIOFO A129 Duo cameras for 2 of my cars. I ordered the first set of cables as I decided parking mode could be useful. Set #1 arrived DOA. Keep in mind that I have a background in electronics and have done many DC installations both as a hobby and for a living. After 3 wasted hours of searching, moving fuses and troubleshooting to find out the unit is not providing power to the GPS base the camera is connected to; The connection to the cigarette…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
