You've motivated me to get a new DVR to replace my 15 year old 118C. Still going but night vision is poor and the stick tape went away. Does the a229 have a dock? It looks like you put tape on the gps module to hold it on. I thought you might go with a 119 mini or touch screen mirror for this since I see no rear view cam. The 229 really puts the scale of the car into perspective.

 

Yep A229 has a dock. Has great 4k. I had the A229 left over from the GT3 so figured I'd try to repurpose it for this car. I've been plugging it into the cigarette lighter each time I turn on the car which also has a USB going off of it to power my phone. Not the easiest solution, but this car is never easy

 

I don't have a rear camera as I'm only concerned with people trying to insurance fraud me saying I hit them. So if they hit me from the back, I can show video that I wasn't backing up. If I was backing up, well I shouldn't have been haha

 

Recently got a usb-c card reader so I can pop the card out of the camera and read from the phone much much more rapidly than waiting for a wifi transfer and the terrible viofo app.

I went with Vantrue k1 dash cam. Keeps things hidden away and gives your front and rear camera and isn’t effected by windshield vs aero

Wow! That is a clean install. Since I have mine on the roll bar I can still aero screen..

I like the full mirror dash cams (where it can be seen well enough in the moment without using a phone) too except for those cars in limbo years with auto dimming mirrors but no touch screens. Very few mirror DVRs have auto dimming when it should be standard since a flipper mirror would throw off the front camera angle.
