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.

Dashcams are always worth having 100 percent
You can also hard wire it to your fuse box so that you can use parking mode
I'd recommend this dashcam, but i've been out of touch with the latest and greatest

This is strange. I actually bought the A329 from Amazon several months ago and now need another one but it's not on there anymore.

So, I have some noob questions:
The hardwire kit has a switch on it, to turn off the cam when the battery gets down to a selected voltage. 4 setting options.
Yes, again, as long as you hardwire it.
I hope. Or 119v3 is better quality, unlike their "cheaper" mini2. Maybe i'll skip a few generations and try something non-mini when/if they improve quality. I don't think they'll keep sending replacement cameras indefinitely and i don't want to play their replacement game either. I just want a camera that works, like the old pos original garmin mini that just worked. I may need to go back to a simple 1080 if i don't want to spend $500+ on other overpriced brands. Who needs starvis2 if 2k/4k cams fail after a few months.
Some notes:
With the battery kit, it stays on for about 2-4 hours after a 30-minute drive and sometimes not at all. Not ideal, but it may be due to my car battery being old (has not been changed for AT LEAST 6 years) or poor installation (my car has no toggleable fuses in the cabin, so I had to route it through the engine bay fuses).
I recommend buying the polarizing lens for the front and maybe the back too, since it really improves the overall quality.
If you do plan on buying the Bluetooth remote control, expect it to be buggy. I honestly do not like how it has to pair every time you want to save a video, and 2/3 of the time, it does not work for some reason. It seems that holding the button down does help, so it might be user error on my part.
Regardless, if you are looking for a reliable dash cam that can consistently record while driving with great quality, I would get it for the price! I can tell that VIOFO has taken the time to make a great dash cam!
Video quality was quite good. If it didn't die, I was very happy with it.
I live in TX shipped it to FL on 4/27/24. On the same day, they shipped it from China. I received the dashcam on 5/3/24.
Btw, did your mini have the white screen of death?

Similar to you, I shipped to FL and they immediately initiated the replacement. So strange that it comes from China though. Surely it would be cheaper for them to send from a US warehouse, but I guess not. This was just last week so I haven't gotten the replacement yet.
