Love your channel. I purchased the Viofo A119 Mini 2 about two weeks ago. I like it so far. In the video you stated that you have to use the USB C connection on the GPS module. I have mine connected to the A119 mini 2 directly and the GPS module still works fine.

I too have been running the Viofo A119 for 5+ years - works great. Only once it somehow wasn't recording. Video quality is ok and the newone looks ok - of course all of these dash cams have shite-ish video quality compared to a decent smartphone but you can't go wrong with the Viofo A119.

I’ve had this for years and works great. I originally had a battery one but it died shortly after leaving it in the car because of the Florida sun. This one has a capacitor instead of a battery so it has survived the heat for years and still going strong. Highly recommend this camera.

I have a 2023 Honda Accord hybrid. I’m still waiting for the Dongar dongle adapter for the dimming rear view mirror so I don’t have to run a wire around my car. Maybe this will happen soon, as I really like this camera. One serious problem with these Wi-Fi dash cams is that if your car has wireless Android Auto, as mine does, the dashcam will terminate your Android Auto while the dashcam is connected - not cool.

Just turn off the WIFI on the dash cam. You really don't need it until you have to retrieve the footage or change settings.

The better setup and I'll do a video on this soon..is to have for example 2 of these Viofo Mini 2's..one in the front and one in the rear.
