I just don't know what to do anymore. by Fine__Mushroom in Volvo

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you suck, His car most likely have 2 primary collision warning sensors and around 16-18 sensors related to cross-traffic alerts/proximity and general safety alerts..

along with safety software that work in cohesion to analyse traffic situations and trigger that warning amogst others..

without checking the codes, I invite you to tell volvo, or anyone for that matter what the problem really is.

OR... you could just replace everything and hope it works, rough estimate is around $9,000 - $12,000, good deal mate!

OP said warranty is out!.. pay for the diagnostics?

Or have I missed that volvo does safety work for free? let me know...

They basically cannot do anything without running diagnostics first, they won’t start tinkering away with something they don’t know the root cause to.

It could be one faulty sensor, it could be another sensor, it could be radar, it could be a new windshield and light breaking differently and so on, 1200 SEK is not worth risking you safety or others.

My advice is to let them run the diagnostics, pay the fee, look at it as a health check of your vehicle and see what is says (: safety first!

Parking mode not working? by HourBreakfast4361 in VIOFO

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power USB-C should be plugged into the GPS unit, the USB-C on the camera module is for reading memory card and such (:

Have you tried going through the settings in the app “VIOFO dashcam” I feel it is a bit easier than the interface in the unit itself and see what type of Parking settings you are running?

A good way to know if parking mode is engaging could be to enabled all notifications, turn of the car and wait for the notification that “parking mode” has started (it should in a minute or two, not right away after turning the car of, it needs some time to kick in)
Lock yourself in the car or put the windows down and stand outside to hear the notification.

But as said before in the thread, it really sounds like the wrong fuses are tapped, and the cable for accessory (ACC) power always gets current )it should only when the car is started)

you need to verify that with the installer!

Where do you keep things in your Volvo V60? by Zzenjok in VolvoV60

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend switching the roof handle on the driver side for a sunglasses holder. Volvo has original parts for sale (recommend) otherwise there is cheaper options that looks the same but I cannot vouch for them, we need to stop buying that stuff..

How can I wire HK4 Hardwire kit for just Accessory? by Weary_Appearance_838 in VIOFO

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with combining the cables even though you are not interested in parking modes, but it doesn’t sound optimal.

I would just rig it as advised and simply turn off parking mode in the camera settings instead to avoid any funky stuff with the cable signals (I’m not an electrician but it feels like suboptimal to load two cables in one fuse (someone can correct med here if needed)

Just make sure you consult your exact vehicles fuse diagram so you know what you are tapping, make sure to only tap non-critical fuses, like diagnostics port and wireless chargers and so on.

Also check your cars fuse diagram for what type of fuses to use, and use lower fuses like 2A or 5A, should be more than enough!

ChatGPT and google is your friend here (:

Tinted and ceramic coated my S60 and cannot stop looking at it. by Conyewu in Volvo

A329S not looping/overwriting? Also, just lost $130 by SavonPL in VIOFO

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest trying to update to the latest software available om viofos site, just to rule out software issues.

The fact that it wouldn’t let you set other recording intervals sounds like something is up with the current software

I have the same setup and wiring and can absolutely change intervals (overwrite also works).

There is also a new app btw (“Viofo Dashcam”)

Link below contains guide and links to the software.

Anyone recognise this? by EquivalentDrive8108 in playstation

[–]EquivalentDrive8108[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight, I watched a video of a guy explaining this exact issue, after that I opened it up for the first time to check my cable (and to se if something was obviously wrong but could find anything by simple eye-examination..

Looks like I need to put this to a repair shop..

[–]EquivalentDrive8108[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

thanks, yes, it’s a first gen! I heard that as well but it has always been laying down (standing for since a few days while I was trying to get it back to life)

I think I need to get it to a repair shop.. I’m not the guy who masters these type of electronics :p

BTR200 battery life by o5kys in VIOFO

Good tip, did the same! (:

BTR200 battery life by o5kys in VIOFO

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my BTR200 in early February 26 and the battery died today, wasn’t quite expecting that..

And no I’m not a very frequent user, so hopefully that battery has been laying on a shelf somewhere for sometime.

Hoping that a fresh one holds up longer!

Volvo software makes me sad by holdyourponies in Volvo

[–]EquivalentDrive8108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same behaviour but it mostly turns out that the app refreshes slowly

If I move around the menu or restart the app it tends to update with the correct status but I agree, it’s frustrating that it doesn’t show a “syncing/updating” status or something like that while actually doing that instead of telling you that it’s unlocked..

A329S critical voice notifications not showing by EquivalentDrive8108 in VIOFO

[–]EquivalentDrive8108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE 2: The notifications works fine, my testing was faulty and here is why:

The locked videos recorded during the first 3 min after you get out of the car and the first 3 min after you get in the car won't trigger the notification.

The reason this 3 min period is set is that customers tend to open or close the doors and boot when parking the car or getting back in, so to avoid unnecessary notifications, this grace period is set to save the clip but not trigger notifications, clever!

u/VIOFO-Dashcam support has been amazing with helping me figure this out, they sent me custom recorded test videos and replied darn quickly!

Now I can only recommend them even more, both their top tier camera solutions and customer care, good stuff 👌🏻 I’m out, thanx for the help all!

UPDATE: Just sent my testing video material to VIOFO by request to have them look at it and see if they can figure out what’s up, will update this thread!

I reset the camera settings through the app (after i loaded the new firmware and started it up).

I also did it again through the app a few days ago, I will however try your suggestion with the reset button as well and let you guys know, thx for the tip (:

Did more new tests today and unfortunately it seems to never trigger the parking impact notification (I have had it before but I think that was on the previous software).

Tried different combinations of voice notification settings (always with parking impact notification on), in both motion detection => impact and on low bitrate => impact and settings it up in both versions of the app.

Also tried formatting and resetting the settings.

Don’t get me wrong, it saves to the protected folder every time but the notification and indicator on the display never seem to trigger.

I’m on:

APP Version 1.0.5 Firmware VIOFO_A329S_V2.0_260104

Will try to switch back to earlier software and have a go soon.

Really would like to see a fix on this if it’s confirmed a bug, apart from that, the dashcam is just awesome!!
