I have owned my Viofo A129 since August 2021. I bought the Wireless Bluetooth Remote to pair with it. Everything worked fine until in May 2022. I noticed the Bluetooth remote lost connection with the camera.
I pressed and held the button on the remote and got a blue light and it connected with the camera. Everything worked OK.
Now 2 weeks later I find out the wireless Bluetooth remote lost connection again. This time holding the button to "pair" it will only blink red and never turn blue. I tried holding the button for 20 seconds and nothing. Only blinking red.
This is what I tried so far. My camera is on V1.5 Build 20210515
The remote will pair to my phone, but not to the camera unit.
There is another user that is also having similar problems Bluetooth Remote Not Working
