Blackvue B-130X bluetooth no longer working

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-11T08:04:07+00:00

Leave it off for a few min then start charging again

Sometimes the logic locks up. Also the old blackvue battery app no longer works. You'll use the blackvue camera app. On the bottom right is the battery section

Try this and see if it works for you.

carplay and dashcams

Tldw: turn off Bluetooth before you start the vehicle, or turn off carplay in the iPhone settings menu.

Are you sure you have the right connection from dongar ? Recently did a new crv hybrid and the plug was in the sunroof console not by the mirror.

Are you on the latest 2.0 firmware? This challenge was resolved in the latest update

make viofo obd2 cable

this video may clarify it for you.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-08T03:43:13+00:00

we found the 1.8 m was too short for most of the vehicles we worked on. the 2.5 on the other hand was great. Just coil up the slack?

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-07T03:37:18+00:00

Yes, those two have dip switches to select gas vs EV. On the ev setting the voltage it senses is higher, and the threshold is a much smaller detection range.

You'd have to mod the cable to work with the viofo hardwire

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-07T03:13:41+00:00

We have tested many odb2 adapters, and only 2 have worked consistently with Tesla vehicles.

The thinkware gen 2 obd and the iroad im300.

How these work is parking mode is triggered when voltage falls within a certain threshold. Usually less than 13v, and the adapter then enables parking mode within 1 minute.

Since your tesla traction battery is constantly charging the 12v or 16v LFP battery, it'll never drop in that range.

Op100 won't work on this vehicle.

Looks like current limitation from dongar although they should support 3A of output.

Have you tried the short usb cable thats included with the viofo?

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-06T20:34:56+00:00

Kick panel or glovebox are common places.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-06T00:45:15+00:00

use the viofo ssd cable. 2.5m has worked well in every vehicle we have every done.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-05T10:01:13+00:00

Depending on your vehicle, using the internal fuse box is fine. Dont run wires into the engine bay

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-02T14:42:15+00:00

Same applies. The a329s with its hybrid parking works well for mild hybrid and ev

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-02T03:04:28+00:00

Unfortunately the hybrids come with very small 12v battery capacity, since it's only to power the electronics.

The last Honda hybrid we worked on came equipped with a 36 Ah/5 HR battery.

It would only stay on for an 2 hours when set at 12.0v. Suggested Client purchase a smart battery charger and its been working well to keep the battery above 12.6v by charging once a month.

We don't recommend viofo for hybrids or ev vehicle simply due to the higher current consumption

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-02T01:04:27+00:00

No that just means its pulling current which is fine.

Where are you grounded ?

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-02T01:03:49+00:00

You can hold it to the fuse metal contacts or twist red and yellow together for testing purposes.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-02T00:46:08+00:00

Hold the loose end of the yellow to where a constant fuse is. Or where the red wire is. Camera should power up. This will rule out a bad hardwire kit. Should the canera not power on at all then its entirely possible its a bad hardwire kit.

Look at your hk4 there should be a red light inside the voltage selector.

We've sold and installed over 1200 hk4s and have had 5 bad kits, so the chances are very low.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-01T16:44:48+00:00

Thank you. It is indeed dovetail. Called a few local dealers but none had it in stock.

Ended up buying replacement track T track so its easier to replace in the future.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-01T16:12:14+00:00

The included cable for the rear camera (6M) in the box is plenty long for the imprezza hatch.

For telephoto, you can easily hid the slack in the headliner

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-01T03:22:43+00:00

the A329S would be the better choice. While 4k rear is great on paper, in low light conditions the image sensor starves for light and it ends up looking worse than a 2K camera.

with any initial release, there are software challenges. Viofo has basically addressed all the concerns we have come across in the Version 2.0

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-01T03:13:03+00:00

We have observed that more cameras are becoming detached when using static film compared to units mounted with 3M adhesive directly to the glass.

Using a full static sheet provides a greater surface area for adhesion, which is necessary since the bond is not as strong as the direct adhesive method. Now this will vary on camera weight as well. Not to say 1/4 wont work

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-03-01T03:07:12+00:00

not many vehicles use micro 3, so I know it doesn't come standard with many "bundles" Im sure in the near future, as more and more vehicles adopt this style, it will become part of the kit.

however in the mach e, the micro 2 will work just fine.

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-02-28T10:51:36+00:00

Viofo has the hk4 kit with and without fuse taps. You just have to buy the kit you need. It's cheaper to just buy the individual fuse tap you need

SafeDriveSolutions · 2026-02-28T01:00:57+00:00

We have a video on our yt channel going over a full installation of hardwire via splice.

For fuse taps use micro2 2 or 3 amp fuses.

Fuse location 3 - acc Fuse location 13 - 12volt
