Compatibility Questions

Q1: Can I use my A229 Pro/Plus cables with the A229 Ultra?
Yes. The interior, rear, and waterproof rear camera cables are identical across the A229 Pro, Plus, and Ultra. No need to replace them.

Q2: Will my old A229 Pro/Plus GPS module work with the A229 Ultra?
Yes. The A229 Series GPS module (except for the A229 Duo) is fully compatible with both the A229 Ultra and the A329S series.

Q3: Can I use the new fisheye cabin camera with my A229 Pro or Plus?
Absolutely. The fisheye cabin camera introduced in the A229 Ultra also works with the A229 Pro and Plus models.

Key Differences

Q4: What’s the main difference between the A229 Pro and the A229 Ultra front cameras?
The A229 Ultra’s mainboard has been redesigned to support a 4K rear camera, which the A229 Pro cannot handle. This is the defining upgrade.

Q5: Can I upgrade my A229 Pro to support a 4K rear camera via firmware?
Not recommended. Although it may seem technically possible, it could cause unstable performance since the Pro wasn’t built for that function.

Q6: What’s new about the A229 Ultra’s cabin camera?
It now includes a fisheye view for wider coverage—something missing from the Plus and Pro.

Q7: Is the A229 Ultra more heat-resistant?
The heat resistance is similar to the A229 Pro, but processing load is better distributed: the rear camera has its own 4K chip to manage heat more effectively.

Q8: Any Wi-Fi improvements in the A229 Ultra?
No. The Wi-Fi module is the same as the one found in the A229 Pro.

Features & Purchase Options

Q9: Can the A229 Ultra display my car’s voltage?
Yes. Paired with the HK6 hardwire kit, the A229 Ultra displays vehicle voltage directly on the video overlay—just like the A329 series.

Q10: Does the A229 Ultra support a 4K front + 4K rear + 2K telephoto combo?
No. That configuration is not available for the A229 Ultra.

Why Choose the A229 Ultra?

The VIOFO A229 Ultra is not just another dash cam upgrade—it is a targeted leap forward, introducing:

• A true 4K rear camera for unmatched coverage.

• A fisheye cabin lens for wider interior protection.

• Seamless compatibility with existing A229 Pro/Plus accessories.

• Smart power management with the HK6 kit.

This makes it an excellent option for drivers in Saudi Arabia, where heat resistance, night clarity, and 24/7 parking surveillance are essential.

Conclusion

The VIOFO A229 Ultra delivers meaningful improvements over the A229 Pro and Plus, particularly in rear video resolution and cabin coverage. If you value crystal-clear evidence, enhanced passenger monitoring, and reliable compatibility, the A229 Ultra is your best choice.
