- Viofo A119v1 > A129D > A119v3
I was using VIOFO A119 v1 before and I liked it a lot so I upgraded to A129 Duo as I trust the company.
My biggest gripe with the new dashcam is that there is no BLUETOOTH ON/OFF option in the settings. It is in the user manual, page 21 but it is removed from the dashcam settings.
I asked a question about it on the UK Amazon listing and received a reply:
Is it true that the BT is constantly ON and that menu setting was removed after releasing a manual? Why?
Some may not be aware that Bluetooth and WI-FI radiation (or any EMF) is not safe and more and more people are hypersensitive to wifi, Bluetooth and other (microwave) radiation and actually badly reacting to it.
I can't see the point to have a BLUETOOTH blasting all the time, and even if the current draw is small when you are not using BT, that energy is wasted.
The biggest concern is still a health risk of constant (unnecessary) exposure.
I would like to have the option to switch BT ON/OFF (same as WI-FI) in the options menu and I think it won't be a difficult task as it appears that it was in the settings before.
I only hope that VIOFO gets interested and implement this (back) in the future Firmware.
Thanks.

Bluetooth remote control is always on, but it has very low power consumption.
And the Bluetooth setting in the camera is also always on.
