Greetings, all!
First post here and shopping for my first dash cam. I like the feature set and price/value of the Viofo cameras, specifically looking at the A129 Duo. I think if you are going to have a dash cam you really should get a rear-facing one as well.
But our primary vehicle is a 2013 Dodge Journey SUV and running a cable to the back window looks like it will be a challenge. Many alternate dash cams have a rear camera unit combined with the main unit near the rearview mirror, which made me think - why not mount the A129 rear camera on the windshield and avoid the long cable run issue?? The biggest problem is how to connect it to the main camera unit since it comes with such a long cable.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a workaround? Is it possible to cut and splice the cable to shorten it?
TIA for your thoughts and comments.
