The A129 is reasonably discreet in most cars, I have mine mounted under the mirror where it is visible but it's not obvious that it isn't part of the mirror. My 0906 was probably more noticeable since it had to be mounted off centre. The A129 is probably smaller than you think if you haven't seen one.
A129 comes off the mount very easily, much better than the 0806, only issue is that you need to unplug the rear camera since that cable plugs into the main body instead of the mount, and if you are using the hardwire parking kit then the power cable as well, but it's still not difficult. The mount connection is a lot stronger/more solid than the mini series, no wobbling about or flexing.
PS: The 0906 also has the rear camera cable going into the main body, which I found more of a pain than with the A129 since it goes into the top where you can't see what you are doing!
Thanks again mate for the reply Yep I have not seen the a129 in the flesh & I was automatically thinking that it is bigger than the mini 0906 or 0806 because it has a 0.5inch bigger screen compared to the mini but with everything you have mentioned above, it makes me feel more at ease & kind of music to my ears if I'm honest. I only ever take the front camera off from my windscreen when I get home from work etc as the sun shines right in my front windscreen so I've never leave my dash-cam on my front windscreen when I get home.
I use mini 0906 and it's quite nice apart from the fact that it disrupts the radio signal in my car. Can't listen to my favorite station.
Yeah I've seen some posts about this (I think on both mini & a129) but to be honest I hardly listen to any radio (maybe the odd time) so really that don't bother me to be fair but I appreciate the heads-up
