I recently got the Viofo A129 and used the HK3 kit to hardwire it on my 2016 Honda Accord.
Everything seemed to run fine - with seamless transition to parking mode and back. Until I started using remote engine start because I wanted my car to get warm in these cool winter mornings.
Anyways, it appears that the dash cam just turns off (not the recording, the entire device boots off) when I use the remote engine start, and does not turn back on even if I get in the car and start driving. I have to manually press the leftmost button on the dashcam once to turn on the dashcam again.
Does anyone know what's causing this and if there is a particular solution? I have a theory that maybe the dashcam somehow freaks out because the ACC power is not turned on but the engine is turned on. I am not even sure if that's how remote engine start works though.
