On my own topic : I've just ordered a A229 Pro 2CH! Really excited. Will receive it Tuesday hopefully. Will have to order a separate hk4 and sd card later this week.
Congrats.
Don’t forget to order the CPL Filter for the REAR camera when you order the Hardwire Kit & SD Card.

And for goodness sake test the camera in your house BEFORE you install it in your car, and BEFORE the return policy expires in case there’s a problem.
1.) Check current firmware.
2.) Check Lens focus front & rear indoor / outdoor.
3.) Get familiar with all the modes, and settings.
4.) Download the Viofo APP to all your devices to check for compatibility issues, iPhone, Android device, iPad, tablet, etc.
5.) Take the SD Card out and insert it in your computer, play, and download files to check for any compatibility issues.
6.) Start a YouTube channel to upload your test footage for later reference.
You can set the privacy of the videos to UNLISTED so only you can see them, or whoever you send the video link to.
7.) Extra Torture Testing
Set the cameras on a window sill looking outside so it can capture cars driving by, movement, etc.
Run the camera for 12 hours non-stop, then put in refrigerator for 8 hours.
Check the SD Card for missing, corrupt files, etc while it’s in the fridge.
If it can survive 7 days this, it will most likely outlast the warranty period, and beyond.

9.) I know I’m forgetting something else.
