I have a SpyTec A119 I bought from Amazon and it has been working great for a long time. I moved stuff around in my car and I wanted to install a hard-wire kit so that I no longer had to have it plugged in to a USB port. First one I tried was this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/B00MH4ZVHO
I did not hook it up directly to the battery (always hot) instead I hooked it up to a switched line so that it would go off when the car was off and on when I started the car up. At first it appeared to be working fine but then I realized that it was not. It was not always starting up reliably. Sometimes it would turn on when I started up the car, sometimes not. But if I turned the car off and then back on it would work fine. Not acceptable.
So now I got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/B01LXC2329
Not made for it but other reviews said that they used it for the Viofo A119 so I thought it might work better. So far so good.
Anyone else have issues hard-wiring this thing in? Anything I should look out for? Anyone else try this new wire?
