Hardwire and possible check engine light issue

[Rvxnn]

Had Viofo A129 hardwired with parking mode on my 2019 Subaru WRX by a shop. They used the brake switch as the power and the cig. outlet as accessory.

It's a brand new car with less than 2000 km. I had a check engine light (P013F - O2 Sensor Delayed Response) pop up after 100km post installation. The Subaru mechanics were quick to blame the hardwire and cleared the code. The code has not come back, however I had the dashcam re-hardwired.

Is there any correlation between the two? Should I be worried and investigate the code further?

I can not imagine any relationship between the O2 sensor and that method of hard wiring.

I had a similar code pop up once because I spun the tires over 70mph while barely getting away from some ice. In time the computer code erased itself.

You may have a slightly bad O2 sensor. You may have run the engine differently than the factory anticipated. Unless the code returns I would not be concerned. Sometimes computer codes set for no apparent reason. If it stays off there is nothing I would be concerned about.

Or my 'generic' response: "It's a stupid computer, did you really expect it to act properly?" And to that I occasionally add: "Because if you did, then you're as stupid as the computer or worse!" I love adding the last part when I'm around IT guys who never say anything because they know that I'm right Worse is that they know that they're the ones who are supposed to be making it work properly but can't

This has been seriously answered in another thread so I'll be taking my demented sense of humor with me as I leave here See Ya!
