I feel like there is some helpful information buried in your negativity. Maybe take a deep breath and frame your feedback from a position of support rather than contempt.
This is the dashcam brand u want. Not those shitty $30 apeman,aukey dashcams
I have one of these. It's great. Was fairly straightforward to install in a 2010 Lexus.

Word of warning - I discovered this after not driving for a few weeks during the pandemic early days - if you have parking mode set up (you have to tap into an "always on" and an "only on when car is on" fuse) - you can drain your battery, even if you have the voltage block thing set up.

Great dashcam. I have this for 3 of my cars. I have it wired for parking mode. Just had to tap into 2 fuses with a fuse tap kit from Amazon. This brand doesn't go on sale much.
Free shipping and no tax with 20% off.
i want a front and back on my new santa fe car but i fear my factory warranty being void for hard wiring the dashcam.

Is this a good dash cam for cold, below freezing climates? Live in Chicago area so want to make sure it doesnt effect performance
I am in Chicago. I used to have Anker battery dashcam on my previous older car and it did fine in extreme cold temp. Battery dashcams are bad at extreme hot temp but seems to be fine in cold temp.

These ones being capacitor shouldn't be any problem for any weather!

It shouldn't. Two of the vehicles I have dash cams hardwired on are newer vehicles with warranty still. If you use the proper hardwire add-a fuse-kit with Viofo's hardwire kit and tapping into non-important fuses to be safe, you should be fine. The fuses I use for parking mode are power outlet #1 or #2 and OBD for battery wire. So long as you do it correctly and don't hook it up to a sensitive circuit, ie: airbag module, BCM, etc, you won't cause any harm and warranty stays intact.

I am not DYI, don't even know how to properly hide the wires myself. I will have to do it at bestbuy. The car dealer can make any excuses to not honor warranty saying your dashcam killed the battery or this or that!

Ok so uninstall it before you go to service the vehicle at the dealer if something were to happen, which I think is a very low chance if u do the hard wire properly.

I have this dashcam and it's horrible at night. Any one else have nighttime recording issues?
I'm interested in this as well - is night recording that bad?

I see an Amex offer of spend $250 get $25 back for Adorama on my Everyday card. Might be useful if you plan to buy more units of this dashcam.

Your power bank internal is 3.7v,15,000mah is 55wh. There's a 20% lost converting to 5v to power USB devices, plus it will shutdown before drawing down to empty. So realistically, it can power 5v/1A device for about 8 hours. At 3A, you are looking at under 3 hours.
i'll test it tonight.

The A119 V3 uses a Sony STARVIS sensor which is the best on the market for night time recording. The A129 Pro uses a different 4K sensor which does not have as good performance. Remember that unless the sensor gets larger the amount of light for each pixel is reduced when you go to the higher quality so you will get worse low light performance.

Has this happened to anyone else? I have an Aukey which shuts off when it detects the battery is getting low.

I feel something fishy going on here. The website looks sus and all these comments gloating this product as if its garmin is weird.
Your instinct is correct. I own this exact same model, and it only works intermittently. The first viofo I owned I had to return because it also had issues. stay away from this Chinese junk

I have been using same A119 V1 since 2016, I was also having the same problem with GPS mount but works fine if I connect it to camera directly. I never had any problems with their cameras. So decided to buy new A119 Pro single cam because I wanted a 4k dashcam with WiFi.
I also have been using the A119 V1, and have the problem with the GPS mount. I think I might super glue the mount to the camera. The zip tie trick worked for a year, but still powers on and off now. Thinking of buying a replacement.
