So is the A229 Plus with this current firmware good enough to purchase?

I just bought my wife an A229 Plus, and I'm shocked!
It has no power input!
How can I turn it ON at home if the GPS module is attached to the windshield??
Am I missing something? may be it hidden somewhere?

Type-C Rear camera output is also power input.

its also mentioned in the manual: rear camera/power in/card reader mode on the PC

Yep, somehow I missed it...
It would really help if the printed label next to the USB-C port on the device itself also included this information, currently it only says "Rear".
I would never have thought to connect a power cable to the video input port.

There is not only a video input, but also a power output for the rear camera.

Type-C Rear camera output is also power input.

So, does it work if the rear camera cable is in the GPS input and the power cable is in the rear camera input?

Only power comes into the GPS input, and a video signal also comes into the rear camera input. So your combination won't work.

LOL what? I just updated my new A228 Plus yesterday and now a newer firmware is out? Where can I see the changelog in this newer firmware?

I think the changelog will appear when the new firmware is on the Viofo website.

Firmware Rear Camera
Version: V1.0_231207

Change Log for V1.0_231207
1. Fixed: Rotate and exposure settings cannot be kept after powering off.
2. IQ updated.
3. Other bugs fixed.


Neither the manufacturer nor the speed of the card affects the firmware process.
Any memory card formatted in FAT32 is suitable for flashing the firmware.

A229Pro/Plus: To update our newest firmware, you need to format your card to FAT32 first.
With the newest firmware, you need not to format it to FAT32 when you update the next firmware.
Because the exFAT file format has been added to this new firmware.

Thank you. Its always nice not having to hunt the forums to see what new firmware is out.
