Hi everyone,

I have a 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum and recently installed a VIOFO A329S. I am trying to figure out the best way to power it if I want to use parking mode.

I came across the Dongar Pro 1 mirror power adapter and like the idea of a cleaner install, but I am not sure whether it will fully support the A329S parking mode features, or if I really need to use the VIOFO HK6 hardwire kit instead.

What I am trying to understand is:

Will the Dongar Pro 1 properly support parking mode on the A329S, or will it only provide power without giving the camera the correct parking mode behavior?
If I want reliable parking recording, is the HK6 hardwire kit the better or required option?
f you are using the HK6, what cutoff voltage setting has worked well for you?

I am leaning toward the HK6 if that is the only way to get proper parking mode. I'd like to hear from people who have actually done this install on a Highlander Hybrid or with the A329S.

Any advice, photos, or lessons learned would be appreciated.

Thanks.
