That's a clean look. Do you have a plug-in in the back?

Running the wire under the ceiling cover is super easy and takes about 10 minutes to take it all the way back to the rear glass. Besides, even if you put another camera for the back window you will try to hide the wire somehow. Also, in case of an accident how are you going to reach back to save the video. I also bought the A229 during the last sale and it took me half hr to remove the existing cam and wire and put the new one in. TBH I spend 5 mins making sure the static film was put in the right spot and didn't have any air bubbles behind it.

I purchased the A229+ when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago. I'm considering returning it and buying two of the A119 Min 2's to keep from having to run the wire from the front to the back.

Any thoughts?

That's a good point! I now see the advantage of having one unit with two cameras as opposed to having two separate cameras.

those side/ceiling covers are plastic, pry them just enough to slide those wires in, no need to take anything off.

Probably not still made by the same company/supplier, but I've had a Viofo A119 (capacitor version) since 2016 and it's still going strong. Pretty surprised, actually.

If you're on the fence, just get one. ~$100 today could save you hundreds (potentially thousands) if it proves even once that you're not at fault in an accident.

its really not that hard. took me 20 mins in the cold to get it done. just use the trim tool and run it thru the headliner.. start from the windshield and work your way back to leave the slack in the rear of the headliner

Planning to buy the hardwire kit. Looking to hear from anyone who's hardwired their Viofo or dashcams in general if it's worth the effort (of learning how and actually doing it)

As long as the size of the camera doesn't bother you when looking in the rear view i don't see why not, would particularly be helpful in a hatchback car, in sedan not as hard to run the wire back

What did you do to make sure you aren't interfering with the side airbag? That's my only concern.

Check out youtube on your specific vehicle of how to open those pillars. It's pretty important to put the wire underneath the curtain airbags, so the wire won't block it in case of deployment.
