A229 ultra, 4k front and rear. A329 is pricier and gives you 60 frames per second but you don’t get 4k on the rear. I have tried both and personally prefer the higher resolution for the rear as it makes number plates easier to read
I did my own install about two months ago with a Viofo A329T powered off a Blackbox Powercell 7500mWh battery for parking mode. I hardwired it in using a relay controlled fuse box connected to the battery that activates off a Pac IGN 3 (connected to OBD via splitter). The trickiest part was connecting the IGN3 wires to the second OBD port since the IGN3 doesn't have a connector, but I 3D modeled and printed a part with holes where I could seat the wires, terminated with higher gauge, solid core, copper wire in the proper position for power and ground. It might be excessive, but I didn't want to tap any fuses and potentially affect the circuits controlling any of the other electronics, and wanted to limit my splicing (not a mechanic, just a DYIer who did like a month of research beforehand) If there's any interest, I can share some links and more details
I’m happy with the VIOFO A329 in my 25 CrossTrek. Also had a VIOFO A119 in my partners’ vehicle and my previous one. If you want a comparison video, Project Farm and Linus Tech Tips have a couple you can watch. I’d recommend that one if you’re looking for front and rear cams, or the A329T if you want the telephoto camera (better for license plates.) Don’t worry about the Eyesight. My front cam is mounted a couple of centimeters to the right of the black plastic that houses the Eyesight camera. No issues. Also please ensure you’re using a proper high/max endurance microSD card (or a good NVME SSD) if your eventual cam supports it.

It has a better front and also comes with a rear so that depends on what you want. They don't compete imo since the mini is more of a single small front. The 229 is like the decent middle ground before you start entering the higher end stuff like the 329t
A dashcam won't capture the moment when time stopped and you were sucked into the alien spaceship through the window.... As an aside I bought and will install a Viofo 329T [Best Dashcam of 2025](https://youtu.be/cTXR4axR5Os?si=Su9D2EEz0X8SOVoh)
VIOFO A329T. It has Starvis 2 sensors and a telephoto lens in the front which increases the chances you'll actually be able to capture a license plate. It does not have a cabin-facing camera, though Viofo does offer variations of the A329 if you prefer that over the telephoto lens capability. The downside is they are pricey. 4K in the front (wide), 2K telephoto, 2K rear. Whichever dashcam you end up getting, I highly recommend you get one with Starvis 2 camera sensors. Older cameras really are not worth your time or money.
