Dongar PRO (Parking Mode Dash Cam Adapter) Development Updates

[goin2drt]

@bluecrush.taco yes I would agree hence my question to Dongar. I don’t need the entire next four hours of parking recorded and then shut off. I park longer than that and really want the parking sensors to kick in and only start recording when it senses something. That is why I bought this camera. I also sent an email to Viola support with their first reply basically being a copy paste water sand which that didn’t answer anything. I will keep this thread posted if they get back.

Well here is the reply from Viofo. It appears if you are planning to use a Viofo dashcam that the Dongar Pro is a waste of money if you want to use parking mode which is a main reason for the purchase. If anyone would like to buy a literally lightly used Dongar Pro please send me a DM.

Here is their reply.

Dear customer,

Thanks for the info.
In this case, we suppose the parking mode might not be available if you use the Dongar adapter
to power the camera.

To use the parking mode, we suggest you use our HK4 hardwire kit to power the camera:
https://www.viofo.com/products/viof...et-fuse-for-a329-a229-a119mini2-a139-t130-wm1

The hardwire kit will draw power directly from your car battery by connecting to the fuse box.
The hardwire kit yellow wire wil need to connect to the ACC fuse that could detect the car's ACC status and only has power when your car engine is on.
So it is able to sense the changes in ACC signal and then enable and disable the parking mode.

You can refer to the below article to get more info about the parking mode and hardwire kit:

Please let us know if any other concerns, thank you.
