VIOFO - A329 2CH

I installed the Viofo A329 dual front/rear in my 2024 XSE PP. Used the Dongar Pro adapter to tap into the rearview mirror console power so no need to run down to fuse box plus it gives me access to reserve power to run parking mode. The cable for the rear cam was carefully fished along the outer border of the headliner and tucked out of the way of the side curtain airbags. The hardest part was getting it through the B-pillar and then through the hatch grommet b/c I didn't want to drop the headliner.

Now that the A329 is out, I'd recommend it over the A229 Plus or Pro. It's more expensive, but is an overall better camera. For me the killer feature is it can record to an external SSD. No more fumbling with those tiny cards; no more microSD file corruption.

If you believe the Wirecutter, go for a Viofo or a Miofive (budget pick; I tried one; it was junk). https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-dash-cam/ This recommendation was published before the A329 came out, or I believe they would recommend it. I’ve had both the A229 Pro and the A329; I find the latter to be a better dashcam, mostly for its SSD support.

These days the A329 2ch is a better choice than the A229 Pro, mostly for its external SSD support.

Dashcams tend to be sensitive to the type of micro SD card you put in them. Viofo recommends only a couple of different types of card for their dashcams. So there's many reasons why that reviewer's dashcam didn't capture his daughter's curb hit. I have used the Viofo A229 as well as the newer A329; both are excellent cameras. Good build quality, nice features, and highly configurable. I've had mine installed throughout two brutal Houston summers (my G70 lives outdoors) and it has survived without problem. I prefer the A329 because it can record to an SSD, which I prefer for several reasons. Good camera -- I recommend it.

Get something like the Viofo A329, which has a mount that sticks to your windshield then the cam snaps to the mount. Good camera too.

Probably the best VIOFO dual cam on the market is the [VIOFO A329](https://www.amazon.com/VIOFO-A329-4K-60FPS-Control/dp/B0DKDXY5HP) with two 4K cameras at 60 fps. Depending on what it costs to install this may exceed $500. I installed mine myself so.. Anyway, I'd recommend any VIOFO that has two cameras and parking mode (hard wire kits are sold separately). I wouldn't go any lower than 2K resolution per camera. Higher the better. This budget option might be more along what your looking for at 4K front and 2K rear with a lower 30fps the [VIOFO A229 Pro](https://www.amazon.com/VIOFO-A229-Pro-STARVIS-Channel/dp/B0CKYFSKNN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=N22FYBMA0G4W&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.esSZc28_XGFcRrYFLJbMiAZbhCiZ4Ry71EKiYRW9uAlBPfmccoC5fwo-4nc2FhpJe08Nn3ABwtsL6Gc3-TZ9HRGst52G6ZXmxNjzp2QLjUW3r23debpgVpSQNLJs4u_uUlkhIPjYMlzHmX1no2Qk_ehkeV14coCg7X5IH10S2ELoR_gTExaChisjPVoRrcDrHzAoFrG8FkHogKRRmPQvd5C7LypOsePLHluG6f0afo8.aM8Q8JHDrHGmf-DUMOX4cMfp6Dgdh0M3XU8W3jXVFTw&dib_tag=se&keywords=a229%2Bpro&qid=1742662764&sprefix=a229%2Caps%2C838&sr=8-1&th=1)

Here is a link to it. I got the 2 channel version and even though I frequently do all kinds of work on my vintage cars, I elected to take my new R4P to a body shop I've used (who are accustomed to removing and replacing interior panels) to install the wiring kit I bought along with it for the power and rear camera wiring. This is one of those things that I just wanted to work without a bunch of fiddling so I also ordered their high endurance memory even though it costs a bit more because some people that have had their cameras for a while reported problems with more generic memory cards. As others have said, you have to have both switched power and continuous power applied to it via two fuse taps or, as is the case in one installation video I found, by splicing into the OBD2 port wiring, to use the parked monitoring capability which is configurable. Since the camera has no internal battery, there really is no way around this requirement.

If you want a single, reliable front+rear cam that balances price, image quality and night performance, I’d go with the [VIOFO A329S](https://amzn.to/3IKpkJS) (dual-channel). It has Sony STARVIS sensors, great low-light footage, and solid community rep for reliability. If you want more coverage (front + interior + rear) look at the [Vantrue N4](https://amzn.to/4mTCxOD) series.

I'm using the VIOFO A329S 2CH myself. Works really well. Get the hardwire kit for monitoring your parked vehicle, it will record when gforce or motion is detected. Have a Honda Accord Hybrid Touring 25, and never had any battery drain issues!

All the good dashcams use capacitors. Otherwise heat destroys the battery. I've had a VIOFO for about 10 years running fine. Now I run a new VIOFO A329S 2CH since my other one was broken in a car accident. SD card still kept the footage though.

I use a VIOFO A329S 4K 60FPS Dash Cam Front and Rear, 4K+2K in back.

The A229S / A329T is way better than the original A329 from last year. Different chip set, upgraded thermal cooling, better sensors, more bells and whistles. I think I you’ll like it. Get the new HK6 hardwire Check out the vortex radar YouTube channel A329S reviews

Rather than supporting Amazon's evil ways and potentially getting a counterfeit product, I recommend supporting a smaller retailer that's going to offer you a decent price, actual support, and knowledgeable reviews. I usually order from [https://www.blackboxmycar.com/](https://www.blackboxmycar.com/) and have been very happy with their service. Now, since you asked for "best" and not "best at a reasonable price" I think you'll be looking at a Thinkware U3000 Pro (4K front and 2K rear), BlackVue DR970X-2CH (4k front and HD rear cameras) or VIOFO A329T (4K front and 2K rear cameras). I personally like the Viofo ones better because of the screen, but they don't have cloud capabilities. So, if you want to protect yourself from auto theft, where the camera leave along with the car, then you'll want something that's cloud-enabled like the BlackVue. In reality, each of the options above are way more cameras than anyone needs and are likely more expensive than what you're willing to pay. Each manufacturer also offers decent cameras with similar specs for much less. But without knowing your price point and you looking for "the best", those are it. For me, I'm more concerned about recording while driving and watching out for parking lot dings, so I'm fine with the Viofo. I have the A229 Pro in two of my cars and they have been flawless (https://www.blackboxmycar.com/products/viofo-a229-pro-4k-uhd-3-ch-dash-cam). It's available as a front (1ch), front+rear (2ch), or front+rear+inside (3ch) option.

I just bought a Viofo A329 2ch for my 2025 Onyx XT after a couple of months research. I take long trips in the New England mountains and I liked the cameras resolution and the fact that it will hook up to an SSD (up to 4TB) for extensive long duration capturing without having to overwrite files. It will also accept up to a 512 GB micro sd so you use one or the other. The phone app is great and all settings can be done from the phone. It connects by wi-fi to the phone so the response is very fast when you want to look at files. According to my research Subaru is sensitive (denying electrical warranty claims) to running hardwires to the fuse panel so I am using the 12 volt plug in the glove compartment. I read people having issues with higher end cameras and the Donger splice so even though I purchased one I didn't go that route. If I eventually use parking mode I am going to purchase a dash cam battery to use for that purpose to protect the car battery.

I have had the Viofo A329 for about 10 months as my first dash cam. Very reliable product so far. I don't think you will go wrong with either of those.

I felt the same and just last week I opted for the viofo a329 2channel. I had it hard wired and parking mode can record up to 6 hrs before shutting off to avoid battery issues. Also, the a329 allows you to turn off parking mode any time. I don’t need it majority of the time so I disable it until I need to use it.

I have the Viofo A329 2 channel. Love it.
