It has already been covered in his forum but the Viofo A139 has the most unreliable, fidgety cable connectors on any Viofo dashcam. They are annoying as heck. The A139 design is likely to never be repeated by Viofo. Most likely a one-off design. All dashcams that followed it are back to the old A119, A129 design where it is small format and reliable USB cable connectors to the camera. Look at the A229 models for proof. I think Viofo designed the big chunky A139 to compete with other brands which looked like hat.
I had no such issue with the A129 Duo cable to camera connectors as it has USB connectors. I bet the same with the A229 Plus. I hate the constant issues with the A139 cable to camera connectors. When the ball-end of the cable plops into the camera connector hole, it is loose enough that any jitter / bump can affect the connection with the slightest movemnet of the cable itself. It is an unreliable design for use in a moving vehicle.
