What is the best hardwire kit for the A119 V3? Also, if I want to run two, would I get two hardwire kits?
Thanks. I decided to get a dual cam system instead, so I'll look for one for the A129 Plus Duo or A129 Pro Duo.Viofo cams do best with Viofo HWK's. The cams require more power than usual so their HWK's deliver that while other ones may not. 2-wire HWK's don't support parking modes, that requires a 3-wire HWK. You need one HWK for each cam.

Thanks! I thought about two A119 V3s due to the sale, but I'll just go for simplicity with the Plus or Pro Duo.Just saw your post about Adorama's sale, not likely to get the V3 for any cheaper than that. The Plus Duo will be better at night and the Pro Duo better daytime but either does well enough. The V3 isn't a bad choice either but not quite in the same league anymore. Same advice for HWK's- use Viofo's.

I own the Viofo A129 duo in my Honda Odyssey (two cams) and Viofo A129 IR duo + a standalone dashcam in the rear in my Toyota Highlander (3 cams). I actually find it simpler to install two standalone dashcams for front and rear installations, otherwise you must run a long cable from the front to the rear as I did in my Odyssey. Today I purchased two Viofo A119 v3 for a Honda CRV that I will take possession of later this week. The CRV will set up as front + rear standalone cameras. For those that have teen drivers, I suggest adding a 3rd cabin/taxicam with IR lights as I did in my daughter's Toyota.Thanks!

I tapped into a rear cigarette power port in the rear for the rear camera in the Toyota.
Interesting. I was going to ask how you powered the rear standalone. I have a rear cigarette port for the back seats of my sedan, but not sure I want to use that up since we plug a USB charger in that for my kids.
I was going to do exactly what you did, two A119 V3s. However, I decided on the A129 Plus for Wi-Fi access and ease of installation.
