- Viofo A139 Pro 2-Ch
I installed my A139 Pro 2-channel cameras connected to the fuse box in my 2018 Mini Countryman, and I was meticulously careful to find the correct separate fuses, red wire to constant battery on, yellow wire to ACC only on. The protection was set to the highest level – 12.4v on the controller. But two times now, the kit has failed to protect the battery, causing it to discharge to the point of requiring a boost to re-start the car. (Luckily, I have a portable booster battery).
The camera actually has Parking Mode set to off in the Viofo app. But is is possible that somehow current is being supplied to the camera, even though it appears to be completely off?
@VIOFO-Support Could the Hardwire Kit be defective? Is there a way to test this. Also, is there a way to connect the hardwire kit so that if I never want to use Parking Mode, I can wire the kit without connecting to the red wire to a constant battery source?
I'd be grateful to hear other people's experience with this, too. Thanks.
