No sign of it. The Viofo UK website is slightly broken too. The accessories menu has an entry for the A329, but you can't click on it. If you guess the URL it works, but doesn't list that camera.
As I mentioned, the flow of info between the company (marketing, website people) and the
@viofo rep here is or at least seems to be limited. This means the viofo rep here isn't gettig the proper info or incomplete info from the company but the rep is stil sharing it here with viofo customers. We then think, he's a rep for viofo so must be telling us the facts. Well, we have seen that is NOT the case.
Ex. Viofo rep says it will take longer to get the Ultra fisheye to work with the A229 Plus. Incorrect info. A tester here shows the Ultra fisheye does work with the A229 Plus. Viofo HQ and its engineers, software developers (the peope who write the firmware) already know this when they were designing it. When they design a new product, these engineers and the design and planning team have already discussed about what other products this new fisheye cam can be used with. Cost-effective across multiple devices (in this case, A229 Ultra, Pro and Plus).
They might not choose to share this info with a viofo rep on a public forum. Or the info shared is incomplete. The viofo rep here only found out the Ultra fisheye can be used in the A229 Plus because someone here tested it.
It "should work". Viofo rep said the Ultra interior cam "should" work with the A229 Plus only to corect themselves that it may take a bit longer to get it to work with the A229 Plus. Only to then find out from someone who tested it here, that it does work. So, again not accurate info is being shared with the viofo rep here from HQ. Obviously. Or HQ said, don't say anything until we tell you to. But the tester here blew the lid off.
The Friday availabliity date on the Viofo website? Things can change. I see that the A229 Ultra is sold out on their site. I'm only speculating, maybe they want to keep some parts for replacement? Total speculation on my part. Maybe there was a delay in shipment? No idea. But the
@viofo rep should pay a bit more attention to providing accurate info and check the facts before posting here. It reflects poorly on the company. Can we trust a company spokesperson? We should if info is accurate.
Reply to poster below. so I don't have to start another post. Amazon and other retailers will post discounts, coupons from time to time to entice people to spend. It's a business. There will be other similar opportunities down the road. I bought items on Prime Day. Anything I missed, wait until Black Friday. You might not have Black Friday where you live, I'm not sure but I think there will be other such sales events on Amazon.
For me, the A229 Plus Interior cam will do just fine until this Ultra fisheye becomes available. In the meantime, I can move the interior cam more forward so the 140* FOV can cover more space left to right. Viofo knows my money is coming their way sooner or later assuming I'm still using Viofo and not another brand
🙂 Viofo won't miss me as they already have a large customer base. I will continue with Viofo as long as their products continue to meet my dashcam needs.
