Posted below is my early thoughts and unboxing photos of the all-new Viofo A329T (have posted it here as there are already a multitude of threads covering the excellent Viofo A329S/T/WW variants). Contained thereafter is my original post detailing the initial announcement and ongoing discussion regarding the A329S and it's other variants.
Halfway through 2025 and @viofo @VIOFO-Support are back with their halo release, the A329S/T/WW. This release builds on the success that last year's Viofo A329 experienced, adding back the option of a telephoto camera (missing since the A229 Pro), waterproof camera, or an all-new cabin interior camera with fisheye lens. These have been denoted 'S' for packages containing the interior cabin camera, 'T' for those with the telephoto, and 'WW' for those with the IP67 waterproof rear cameras.
The telephoto variant I have on hand here is marked the 'T' variant, and abolishes 2024's A329 release's microHDMI port for a coaxial cable to facilitate the connection of the telephoto camera. The other coaxial port is used for connection of the rear camera; the USB-C port on the other side of the A329T is reserved for the connection of an external SSD should a user wish for one. New this year is the labelling of the rear and telephoto cameras with their respective part numbers: RC420 for the rear, RTC420 for the telephoto. The main sensor sees the Starvis 2 IMX678 return with 4K recording, and the rear and telephoto cameras carry over the excellent Starvis 2 IMX675 2.5K sensors. With these new cameras, Viofo has also added ventilation holes to each (and by extension the interior cabin camera and waterproof rear cameras), to add with heat dissipation. A nice touch and added insurance policy to the operation of these dash cameras.
When it comes to the box itself, we have the usual assortment of accessories and goodies that Viofo are known for packing. We have the usual literature of quick start guide, user manual and after-sales support information that greets the user upon opening the box. The main camera unit, and telephoto and rear cameras are all packed snugly in the protective foam inserts. Under that we have the D6000 car charger (with additional USB-C port), short Viofo-branded USB-C to USB-C data cable, right-angled USB-C power cable for the main unit, and both rear and Telephoto units coaxial cables. Rounding out the retail contents are Viofo warning stickers, electrostatic stickers for mounting, spare 3M adhesive stickers for all three cameras, black plastic pry tool and CPL filter for the front camera.
First impressions of the Viofo A329T are positive, with the solid and no-creaking build quality that Viofo are known and respected for. Nothing new really to add here over their previous solid releases in the A329 and A229 Pro, apart from the physical additions and port-swapping that I have detailed above. Of note is that there will be a new HK6 parking kit available in the near future, to enable the new hybrid parking modes on the Viofo A329S/T/WW variants. These new parking modes will put Viofo firmly in the lead in the dashcam market, when it comes to the wide scope of parking mode options paired with very low power consumption - a definite win for users everywhere.
Installation of the Viofo A329T was once again a cinch, with there being additional options for the user to order shorter or longer cables for the telephoto, namely 30cm or 15cm. This is mirrored also with the A329WW variants, who are also able to order 8, 10 and 15 metre cables for installation in scenarios such as longer pick-up trucks or a semi-trailer truck for example. Viofo has really hit it out of the park this year, by adding every combination and flexibility in ordering options that a user could want.
Would like to extend my gratitude to Viofo once again for letting me road-test their best of the best, in the Viofo A329T. Stay tuned for my additional thoughts and findings, along with my review, coming soon here on DashCamTalk.

The Viofo A329S was released May 19, 2025. @viofo @VIOFO-Support
With the new 3-channel version of the A329 called the A329S, has support for a new fisheye interior camera. But there is also configurations available with a telephoto camera or waterproof rear camera.
The new interior cabin camera is posited to have a fish-eye lens to expand the field of view, to 210 degrees field of view. The telephoto remains 2K resolution; it is still the Starvis 2 IMX675 just like the previous RTC300.
Looks like it could be a slam dunk for Viofo with the A329S in terms of the powerhouse configurations available on tap. We now have information on what configurations will be available which are as follows:
Standard Edition: A329S 1CH (front cam), A329S 2CH (front+rear cam), A329S 3CH (front+rear cam+fisheye interior cam)
Telephoto Edition: A329T 2CH (front+telephoto cam), A329T 3CH (front+telephoto+rear cam), A329TW 3CH (front+telephoto+waterproof rear cam)
Waterproof Edition: A329SW 2CH (front+waterproof rear cam), A329SW (front+waterproof rear cam+fisheye interior cam), A329WW (front+waterproof rear cam+waterproof rear cam)
Model numbers of Viofo add-on cameras: Rear: RC420 Telephoto: RTC420 Fisheye interior: RCC360 Waterproof: RWC400
