I have a VIOFO A229 Pro and I also got an iVolt Xtra (BAB-95) battery pack. Is it possible to use them together? I thought it would be no problem to splice the BAB-95's "output" cable to the VIOFO hardwiring cable as shown in the installation graphic (from Amazon), but then I saw that the BAB-95's "output" cable also has a Thinkware "communication" cable which obviously doesn't fit my VIOFO A229. Am I supposed to just leave that cable unused? Something else that really confuses me is that the installation manual for the BAB-95 (bottom half of second picture) is inconsistent with their installation graphic on Amazon. The manual shows vehicle GND, B+, and ACC going into the battery pack and then GND, B+, and ACC leading out to a dashcam, whereas the Amazon graphic and the physical wires themselves suggest only vehicle GND and B+ going into the battery pack, and then vehicle ACC going to the "output" cable which splices to a hardwiring cable. Has anyone used the iVolt Xtra with VIOFO and can help confirm what I'm supposed to do?
