Yes, that's what other members have concluded as well.
Viofo is currently sending (5) beta test kits to various members of this forum (me included). Unfortunately, that's all they have right now. I checked and there is no ETA on when these newly designed kits will be available at resellers. My guess is they'll likely wait until they get feedback from their beta testers, which makes sense. I also asked for details on what changed, but I haven't heard back yet. I'll update this thread when I know more.
BTW, for anyone who is considering a new dashcam, I have been very impressed with Viofo. They openly participate in this forum, are quick to address support requests, and actually use the information they've obtained from their customers to improve the company's products. This is a very well run company, in my opinion, and I have absolutely no regrets purchasing (2) A129's, even in light of the noise problems I'm currently having, which they are actively working on.
