Hardwiring my VIOFO A129 dashcam

[ATP36]

Hello, I recently bought an A129 viofo dash cam. I bought hard wiring kit but having trouble deciding if to hardwire it to an accessory fuse or 12 volt fuse. I’m a bit confused when it comes to the parking mode like do I need to have it fully on or if I can have it on ignition switch, I hope this makes sense.

Did you buy the Viofo 3-wire kit?

If you have the 3 wire kit, it's my understanding that to enable parking mode, the yellow wire needs to go to a fuse that powers a component powered when the ACC position is enabled (key or pushbutton). So not something that's hot all the time.

I just bought a hardwiring kit off Amazon it’s got two wires but it still says that it can do park mode on the packaging

send it back and buy the correct one from Viofo, the HK3 is what you need
