VIOFO - A329T 2CH

I love this brand. I have yet to see anyone else with such good quality. I have the 129, 229 and the recent 329 version in my truck. No issues at all. Money well spent.

My thought as well. The SD card must be the higher-quality Extreme or Industrial use. You may experience irratic behaviors that are unexplainable in some cases. The lower quality SD cards can be more exposed to vibration while writing to the card. The speed on the higher quality are much faster, ~190 Mbs per second enabling writing your video clips to the SD less read/write errors or video loss. The lower quality SD card writes about ~100Mbs per second also half the speed of the higher end. I have owned Viofo for at least ten years and have not been disappointed. The continue to add features or benefits to their product mix. I have undated the firmware to the latest version. Like any technology updating your firmware that is recommended by the OEM is key to any satisfaction. The A229 and 329 dash cams have very fast video and snapshot photos or parking mode. THIS would probably explain your to slow message when it reads the card or formats the card it sees a low speed transfer or read/write. Anyways, Best dash cam I have used.

Viafo front and rear powered off the donggar adapter. Saved my ass in a crash and ended up in my next Mazda. posted a guide on how to wire it up a few years ago. No issues.

I did my own install about two months ago with a Viofo A329T powered off a Blackbox Powercell 7500mWh battery for parking mode. I hardwired it in using a relay controlled fuse box connected to the battery that activates off a Pac IGN 3 (connected to OBD via splitter). The trickiest part was connecting the IGN3 wires to the second OBD port since the IGN3 doesn't have a connector, but I 3D modeled and printed a part with holes where I could seat the wires, terminated with higher gauge, solid core, copper wire in the proper position for power and ground. It might be excessive, but I didn't want to tap any fuses and potentially affect the circuits controlling any of the other electronics, and wanted to limit my splicing (not a mechanic, just a DYIer who did like a month of research beforehand) If there's any interest, I can share some links and more details

There are two advantages to using two single channel dash cams rather than a two channel dash cam. Redundancy, and longer record time. Any dash cam is better than no dash cam. The best dash cam I am aware of is the Viofo A329, It does better than most at night, but all dash cams are bad at night (motion blur and over exposed license plates).

If you just want a good front dashcam, the Viofo A119 v3 will fit the bill. I put the A329 in because I wanted the better image quality and rear camera. Was worth the extra shekels. Buy once, cry once, if you can budget a bit more. Whatever you get, make sure you get a high or max endurance microSD card.

I just bought a Viofo A329 2ch for my 2025 Onyx XT after a couple of months research. I take long trips in the New England mountains and I liked the cameras resolution and the fact that it will hook up to an SSD (up to 4TB) for extensive long duration capturing without having to overwrite files. It will also accept up to a 512 GB micro sd so you use one or the other. The phone app is great and all settings can be done from the phone. It connects by wi-fi to the phone so the response is very fast when you want to look at files. According to my research Subaru is sensitive (denying electrical warranty claims) to running hardwires to the fuse panel so I am using the 12 volt plug in the glove compartment. I read people having issues with higher end cameras and the Donger splice so even though I purchased one I didn't go that route. If I eventually use parking mode I am going to purchase a dash cam battery to use for that purpose to protect the car battery.

I have had the Viofo A329 for about 10 months as my first dash cam. Very reliable product so far. I don't think you will go wrong with either of those.

I've Viofo A329. I liked that one as that's the only one that supports SSD storage which is better than memory cards.

Viofo A329 or A229 Pro, those are the only decent dashcams I know where you can get a half decent footage and legible license plates.
