Same here. As an economics and statistics major with a masters in business analytics, I agree keeping the price down keyI'm very new to dashcams but I like that I can buy just a simple dashcam 119v3 with very minimum accessory. I can buy the SD card separately. I don't need the hard-wire kit. Keep the price down and I get exactly what I want.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I guess this is for viofo to figure out.
In my opinion, the reluctance to read and collect information is the problem of the buyer, not the manufacturer.Correct.
However Viofo's current advertising is misleading in terms of parking mode functionality.
The hardwire kit is required to fully, and reliably enable parking mode.
This causes frustration for first time buyers.
It makes them upset to learn they need to spend another $18 to use the features they thought were included and should work right out of the box.
What if the Hardwire Kit is an upgraded version?But on the other side I'd be upset to have included and pay for a HWK that I already have.
What can you do about fixing this;Your suggestion is highly appreciated and will be taken into consideration.

You probably haven't seen how HDR works at speed.With firmware updates, Viofo has replaced WDR with HDR. HDR is only good for stationary objects. HDR creates blur images of moving objects, especially during high speed.
Please stay on topic Kamkar.Everything was better before.
Phones, cars, women...
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. We will confirm with the engineers if this feature can be added to the app. Actually, the data of free space on the card is more accurate than the recording time shown on the screen. If you have set loop recording, the old files will be overwritten if the card is becoming full. The recording time will never change to 0. Additionally, it also will be influenced by the bitrate or resolutions you set. Confirming the left space will be more helpful to decide when to format the card.Available Recording Time in APP @viofo @VIOFO-Support
One of my favorite “features” of Viofo dash cams is the ability to display the Available Recording Time in the top right corner of the LCD Screen.
This simplifies figuring how much recording time an SD Card will provide.
This is helpful to consumers deciding what capacity SD Card to purchase.
This simplifies figuring how different settings change available recording time like;
Resolution
Bitrate
fps
HDR on/off
Parking Mode
Etc.
Screen-less models like the A139 Pro & WM1 have omitted Available Recording Time in the smartphone APP.
It’s nice we have “Free Space on Card” but it’s not as helpful as Available Recording Time.
I would like to request Available Recording Time be added to the APP for all Viofo dash cams.
I've come to accept all my requests range from "difficult to impossible" and will most likely result in no change.Thanks a lot for your suggestion.

We will give you an exact reply once we get a confirmation. Your suggestions are highly appreciated!I've come to accept all my requests range from "difficult to impossible" and will most likely result in no change.
I thought I would document them anyway so I at least have a record for later reference. lol
Yo Ogz,Can you do this?
I am aware. you are right.Yo Ogz,
This thread “section” is to request improvements & fixes that apply to ALL Viofo dash cams.
Since your requests ONLY apply to the A119 Mini 2, please make your request in the A119 Mini 2 “section”.
