    I went with the Viofo a119 mini2 with the Dongar adapter. Took just a few minutes to install, very clean with the dongar - no hanging wires. The gps option is good to have as it pinpoints the exact location with timestamp of an event, can't argue with the satellite.

    I just installed a week or two ago so I’ll double check the settings, you’re probably right, thanks! I only said that after checking the SD on pc so maybe there is a configuration issue there also. I’ll update my original post after confirming so I don’t mislead others reading the post

    Garmin Mini 2 for me, just got a Mini 3 that I need to replace it with. I used a USB buck converter off Amazon, and connected it to the wiring for the headunit to power it. You have the option of always on or ignition on back there.

    Gotcha! I've never pulled the SD. I just connect to it via WiFi and download the clip (3 min intervals) to my phone. I believe it's just a setting in that app that will allow you to turn the sound on :)

    Yea I'm very excited about this. I'll be replacing the Gamin Mini 2 that I've been running for a while. The features on this one are pretty amazing.

    Both are scheduled to be delivered next week. I'm looking forward to installing this.

    I hooked up my Dongar adapter with the Garmin mini2 a few days ago , all I get is blinking green lights on the Garmin . I looked around and it says its downloading or formatting , but its been going on for over an hour . I finally unplugged the cam , giving the Garmin people a call tomorrow

    I just dealt with this issue a few days ago. Are you using the short cable that came with the mini2? That may be the reason you are getting the the green light.
