What is everyone running in 2017?
Anyone upgrading and wanna sell me an older one?
Does anyone have one of those rearview mirror ones that also have back-up cam function?

I run a Thinkware F750 but am doing an upgrade soon so mine will be up for sale in the marketplace
Great camera with really good functions. Plus picture is crystal clear
I'd recommend most of thinkwares lineup
Take it easy and if she is easy take her twice
i have had a coupe a119's lately, i cant recommend them, one of them wont charge the caps and the other cuts out all the time, i think its a flaky connection on the USB, i have been looking at the mini 0805's i still have a couple of ojocams which are mini 0803's and they have been rock solid for me.
I'd love to find one that has wifi and automatic cloud or pc syncing. (and still reliable and good PQ)

the A119 is the most recommended on most of the dash cam review sites. I was just thinking of buying two. Sorry to hear this dudeOriginally posted by Thaco

I assume you bought it from trusted sellers??
my a119 (GPS version) has been flawless for me. only problem i'm getting is a slight buzz due to vibration somewhere with the GPS mount. i'll probably get some kind of foam pad or something to dampen it. it's been fine through the cold temps.
i also find their support seems to be solid (dashcamtalk forums)
not sure about syncing, by xiaomi yi is wifi
yeah, i know that's why i even tried them in the first place, maybe my experiences are not typical, but its enough to sour my taste.Originally posted by Asian_defender

just did some checking and i guess mine is a118c, is the 119 that much better?
I just hate that they continue to use mini usb instead of micro, i am not rewiring my car back to an old standard.

Mind if I ask what you are thinking of upgrading too? I've been researching to upgrade my 5yr old Blackvu and have been considering the 2 channel Thinkware F770 primarily for the parking mode functionality.Originally posted by delco21

My vehicle was recently hit in the parking lot, I only have a front dashcam but it was able to captured the whole incident from the reflection in the store window. The guy denied hitting my van, and even went as far as telling his insurance company that I had backed into him. After showing my insurance company the video, the guy's insurance accepted 100% at fault.
Needless to say, I'm taking what I would have spent in deductible to buy myself a two channel dash cam.
I have a couple of Mini 0805s and they have been working well for me for the past year.
Upgraded to a Blackvue DR470-2CH when I bought my 4runner. Pretty much the same as my old Blackvue, except this one doesn't overheat in the sun, lol.
Blackvue make an inline box that you can install that outputs the rear camera to RCA for a backup cam as well. I'm still trying to get clarification that it will work with my unit though.

A119 is 1440p
You can never have enough MPs for trying to read plates.
That's said, both are popular and both have a lot of knock offs or units that failed QA and flowed back into the market via AliExpress or Gearbest. I think the ones didn't boot with VIOFO logos are suspected. There is a thread on redflagdeals that blew up about this awhile back.
VIOFO has a listed of verified resellers.
This is a timely thread as I too was thinking there must be upgrades out there by now, after how many years ago we had the group buy here.
Is 1440p resolution only starting to make its way into new models? I don't see a whole lot out there...
Ultracrepidarian
Does the A119 have the ability to turn off the screen after startup? I hate how the A118C doesn't have that ability.
I'm still running a Mini 0805 and been happy with it.
It's does. After 2 weeks I'm here to report that I really am loving the a119 crisp picture and good sound.Originally posted by Speed_69

The A118C does let you turn the screen off. There's a setting called screen saver that lets you give it a time to turn screen off after, I think 1 min, 3 min or 5 min. Default setting is to stay on. When camera is on if you press the left button on the face it will turn the screen on/off manually as well.Originally posted by Speed_69

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Ditto. Very solid performer. My original G1W still works, but it's baked in the sun both here and in Socal, been dropped, had its usb connector broken off and replaced, and the battery is in a bad way.Originally posted by dj_rice

The C is doing great.
If anyone is planning to upgrade, I'd be looking to buy a front + rear for the Mercedes.
My old Blackvue went to my parents.
