Parking-mode power requirement

Parking mode requires a VIOFO hardwire kit sold separately: HK4, or HK6 for cut-off voltage. VIOFO states the HK4 does not include fuse taps.

Hardwire kits, OBD cables and battery packs are different routes. Follow the manufacturer and a qualified installer; this catalogue gives no wiring advice.

One specification table names HK4 only; the series comparison lists HK4 or HK6 as compatible and sold separately.

Questions to check before buying

Lens angles are published without a measurement direction, so they are not directly comparable with figures stated as diagonal.

VIOFO's own tables differ on the hardwire kit (HK4 only, or HK4 or HK6), and only HK6 enables cut-off voltage; confirm the kit for the parking mode you want.
