Viofo A229 Pro GPS mount LEDs

[Julian23]

A few days ago I noticed something I haven't seen before with any Viofo dashcam.
While mounting the A229 Pro to the GPS mount, a red LED at the GPS mount lights up when the dashcam is close to the mount but not touching it.
When you touch the contacts of the GPS mount, the red, and one or two green LEDs light up as well.


I checked with the "normal" A229 but it doesn't have these LEDs.
Does anybody have an idea which functions they serve? The manual mentions nothing about it.

The red light is the power indicator. The green light indicates that the GPS can transfer data normally now. The third green light will be on when the module locks a GPS signal successfully.

Thanks for the information.
