Yes, you can rename it. They also have different wifi names.
Yes, also in TX and use a sunshade. No problems with the TX heat. I had a problem with the white screen of death but that was in the Winter. This was rare for the A119 mini 2.
I actually have the opposite recommendation, leave the sounds and voice on. Once, the USB cable was loose and I didn't hear it come on. Another time, my memory card was bad so I didn't hear it say, "recording started". If I didn't have the sound and voice on, I would have not known my camera was still off or not recording to the memory card.
Strange how there's no viofo A329 models on amazon, yet they have them on viofo's website.
Also bought the polarized lenses for the front camera which helps reduce glare quite a bit.

Is 2ch necessary or front only is good enough for regular driving?
I would recommend 2 minis but i'm waiting for my 3rd replacement and not optimistic it will last. They die after a few months regardless of the climate.
I have a usb port in the rear. Is the 12v cigarette lighter port required or I can just plug into the usb?
Any differernce quality-wise since A229 is old and newer mini has 60fps i think. Also is the form factor of A229 noticably big compared to the discreet size of mini?
I don't expect these do do anything amazing. I wasn't able to read the plates of someone passing me in a residential area going 70mph in broad daylight with it.
You want ones powered by capacitors and not batteries. Batteries will go kaput, while capacitors will last a little longer.

I actually have one car that has the A229 Plus 2 ch and one car that has 2 A119 mini 2. I did 2 minis because I already had one so I just added one to the rear. It's easier on my van because I don't have to connect the rear cam to the front cam and I have 120v power port in the 3rd row. The cargo 12v is always on so I didn't want to drain the battery.
It depends what you want, do you have a place for power in the rear? Do you want to use 2 microsd cards?
Yes, I would recommend a front and rear camera so you have more coverage.
RE: I did 2 minis
good idea. never thought about doing 2 independent units. can you rename the 2nd one so the phone can identify which is which?

I only use the standard connection, not wired to the fusebox so I cant speak to that security feature but the image and video quality is fantastic. 1440p @ 30fps or 1080 @ 60fps.
I also recommend digging into the settings (nav buttons on the device are a bit clunky to learn) to turn off the sound (power on sound when you start the car makes like a flip phone circa 2005) and the voice narration unless you need it, very annoying for me.
PROTIP: The viofo app works but its slow. If you have carplay the wifi from your phone <> carplay will interfere with viofo's wifi signal making it impossible to connect to the app; disconnect your carplay wifi to your phone if this happens. Once you do connect, downloading recordings off the app to your phone is slow as s***, just take the sd card out and manually move them to your devices.
