A better version of the A119 is now probably the A119 V3, which does support a hardwire parking mode ~

The A119S is really a driving-only camera (no proper parking mode) so it’s installed here to run only with ignition. To see a driving/parking install plus a rear camera, watch: https://youtu.be/bAE4gbzCXJE

which features the Viofo A129 Duo, which is a front + rear set-up. Review: https://youtu.be/l07rtvNkHBs
Or, newer version A129 Plus Duo: https://youtu.be/0VgWKLdtAcA
For these parking mode cameras from Viofo you would ideally use their 3-wire hardwire kit which makes life easy ~

or buy from BlackBoxMyCar and select the kit as an option.

The cabling shown uses a fuse tap and a hardwired USB power supply. You will need:
* USB dash cam, see above
* USB cable, length to suit
* USB power adapter, featured is a dual socket unit with cable terminating in an SAE plug. Amazon links ~

* Fuse tap, make sure you get the right size. Amazon links ~

* Additional fuse to suit, 5 A is about right
* Other wiring and crimps or solder as required
* Voltmeter
* Tools to get behind trim. Various torx screwdriver bits.

what kind of cool bat cave driveway do you have lol and where do you live looks lovely . Thanks for this video going to wire in a dash cam into my Golf this weekend . Never had one before so this vid super helpful. Cheers from Vancouver Canada !
Hi there great video, I’ve got mine in the cigarette fuse slot is the fuse slot you are using better and also what is the second slot in from your left used for, mine is empty cheers Kev
Thank you for this video. Very informative and easy to follow! Is your golf an import from Japan?
Hi, thanks for the great informed videos, my Camera has a rear cam too (Parking Mode) so when attaching to the fuse box I'll need a constant live feed will I? I believe u said
Can i use any empty fuse Spot?
Any problems with the golf yet?
Whoa. Quality or what.
So on the driver's side there is no front-side curtain airbag there but in the passenger's side A-pillar the airbag is present inside?
Good video.
Excellent tutorial, great detail, and very high quality video angles/resolution! Thanks for making this, it will come in very handy when I do this on my Mk6 GTI.
Brilliant video and nice and neatly installed the way I would do mine out of sight and the camera is nicely out of the way it’s similar to the Audi set up
Excellent video.
