Size between the A229 and A119 mini should not be an overlooked detail. It may seem obvious because one is "mini" but it was a big difference. The 229 was a nice size - I never felt like it was too big or anything and I really liked it. When I went to install the 119 mini right after I actually had trouble with the set up and I struggled to read the screen. Yes, my aging eyes are a problem but I had no trouble with the 229 at all. I actually had to use my phone camera and enlarge the viewfinder to view the mini and navigate the menu. That being said, the mini is still solid and the smaller size may actually be exactly what people want.
Something else no one has endorsed yet is what you mentioned about buying a 2 channel unit (front and rear cam combined) vs buying 2 cameras. I am actually going with 2 cameras for my next set up. The two channel system has the benefit of a smaller camera in the rear (no screen), one memory card, joint video feed, and a single interface to set up options & date/time, etc.
But having two cameras is just an easier set up for me. Sure, I have to get an extra memory card and set the options up/make adjustments on a second screen but I set up the front unit very easily (tucked under the edge of the headliner, run along under the A-pillar cover and under the dash to the fuse box or the power port in the center console) and for the rear I kind of do the same and plug it into the power port in the back (SUV). I also feel a little better about having two recordings in the off chance one failed to capture. I was actually in an accident where I was T-boned and my car ended up it's side and I had this 2 camera set up already (put my older dash cam in the rear when I upgraded to a better one in the front). Both cams caught the accident, thankfully. Also, the guy who hit me claimed he had a green light but my recording (along with an eye witness) cleared that up. Get a dash cam, people.
So that's just my two cents. Currently driving a three row SUV and would absolutely opt for a two camera set up rather than trying to feed a cable attached to the front unit down the headliner and over 3 pillars to the back.

Sorry. Didn't see the description just the title of the post. I have the A229 with the front and back cam.

I am buying 2 of these cams for my family, as they are decent.
My A129 survived 5 years of 125+ days (with interior car temps reaching 150 plus) and the only Issue I ever had was the focus shifted a tiny bit on one of my cameras, and im not even sure if heat did it or something else.
But the heat never affected the memory cards, the camera working, or anything like that. Just the CHANCE that focus slipped a tiny bit leading to a slight focus on the dashboard instead of outside the car. I still haven't swapped the camera yet as it still records, just not perfect focus.
One thing I have to say is that, it's quite painful to setup for your phone. You have to click some button and step through your phone.

1. 12v cigarrett ligher. just run the wire to 12v socket. it turns on when the car is on and turn off when ignition is off
2. hard wiring - run wires to fuse box. three wires 1. ground 2. always on 3. ACC
the dash cam in on 24/7 until battery drain to a threashhold.
3. tap to mirror. same as #1, but cleaner wiring. need a car with power mirror.
