Is this the original A329 or the A329S?
This is the original A329 1CH package, sold as new clearance stock. The A329S is a different model with different firmware and parking options. Use the exact A329 download and manual linked below.
Can front HDR and 4K 60FPS run together?
No. Front HDR uses 4K 30FPS. Use 4K 60FPS with HDR off. This package includes only the front camera.
What do I need for automatic parking mode?
Use HK4 or HK6 through the GPS-mount power port, with fuse taps matched to the vehicle. Both are separate purchases. The camera’s side USB-C data port is not the hardwire parking input. HK6 is required for the current vehicle-voltage display and battery-protection menu settings.
Does parking mode save footage before an event?
Yes. Buffered Auto Event Detection saves footage before and after detected activity. Continuous power is required. Time-lapse and low-bitrate recording are separate choices. Power, temperature and settings limit recording time.
Will I get a parking-impact alert on my phone?
No. Current firmware reports a detected parking impact at the next startup. It does not send remote phone alerts. The manual excludes impacts within three minutes of entering or leaving parking mode from protected event recording to reduce door-closing false alarms.
What does parking geofencing do?
You can designate up to three areas where parking recording is unnecessary. The camera shuts down instead of entering parking mode in those areas. It enters parking mode outside them or if GPS is weak or unavailable. Verify the feature and the selected zones after updating firmware.
Can the camera record to microSD and SSD simultaneously?
No. Select one recording destination. A separate parking-file destination can be chosen, and the settings menu can back up existing microSD files to an SSD. The card limit is 512GB; the SSD limit is 4TB with a compatible drive and dedicated VIOFO SSD cable.
Is the supplied USB-C data cable a power or SSD cable?
No. The supplied data cable is for file transfer. Use the vehicle charger or a compatible hardwire kit for camera power. External recording requires the dedicated VIOFO SSD cable. A matching connector alone does not establish compatibility.
Does GPS or Wi-Fi provide remote live viewing?
No. GPS saves position and speed with footage, and Wi-Fi connects a nearby phone. Neither supplies cellular connectivity. The A329 does not provide cloud monitoring or live vehicle tracking.
Which filter is included?
A CPL-200 front polarizing filter is included. Choose the exact model on our VIOFO CPL filters page and check your saved view after adjustment.
What is privacy mode?
With privacy mode enabled, the camera retains only the latest two ordinary video files. Leave it off if you want normal loop-recording history. Save important footage separately before changing storage settings.
How do I update the original A329?
Download the exact model’s firmware from the BlackboxMyCar manuals and firmware guide, selecting A329. Back up recordings and settings first. Follow the microSD update procedure with stable power; firmware cannot be installed through an external SSD. The current release resets settings, and VIOFO advises against downgrading. Recheck recording, time, HDR, storage and parking settings afterwards.
What warranty comes with this new A329?
This new VIOFO A329 includes an 18-month warranty, including when sold as new clearance stock. Refurbished listings have separate warranty terms.
What else should I check before ordering?
Memory card, portable SSD, dedicated SSD cable, hardwire kit and Bluetooth remote are sold separately.
