For the A119V3, in firmware V1.03, there does seem to be an issue with when the camera will entering parking mode when not using the 3-wire hardwire kit. I had forgot about that. V1.02 seems to work fine, though Viofo says there is a bug in that firmware related to parking mode. It should re-enter parking mode with V1.03, it just might be longer than 5 minutes. As long as your not unplugging the camera a lot while using the 3-wire kit, then this really won't be an issue.Based on that thread I linked, it seems to have widely varying elapsed times before it re-enters parking mode.
The manual that comes with the A119v3 is woefully inadequate in regards to explaining how the parking mode works and how it is enunciated on the display. Where have you guys found information regarding the parking mode?
The above linked thread told me about symbols on the screen to look for. I didn't know that before. I had no frame of reference as to what to expect. So I thought my hardwire was faulty. In fact, the hardwire was done properly, I just didn't understand what the dashcam was telling me. And that trick about having to cycle the ignition switch to enable parking mode immediately (vs waiting for it to time out) was tricky too when first connecting power without using the ignition switch.. and not explained anywhere that I found except in that thread.
