Upgrading from the VIOFO A139 to the A139 Pro 4K Dash Cam - What to keep and what to replace?

The VIOFO A139 is the dash cam brand's first triple-channel model, and it has been sought after by ride-sharing drivers and fleet managers looking for a smart solution to keep their vehicles and passengers secured.

And recently, VIOFO released a newer version of the A139, the A139 Pro. The groundbreaking 8MP Sony STARVIS 2 image technology is the most significant feature upgrade of the new A139 Pro over the A139, along with enhanced video resolution, a free CPL filter, and increased maximum microSD card capacity up to 512GB!

We think these features are worth upgrading for, and if you do too, here’s what you need to know about the accessories of your A139 that can be reused with the A139 Pro.

Installing the VIOFO A139 to A139 Pro Dash Cam - What to keep and what to replace?

Power Cables

The VIOFO A139 power cables can be kept and reused when upgrading to the A139 Pro. Unlike previous VIOFO models, which used mini USB connectors, the cables on the VIOFO A139 and A139 Pro are Type-C. Compatible? Yes!

Mount

The A139 and A139 Pro share the same design, and major upgrades like image sensors are done internally. As a result, when it comes to mounting, you can still use the A139's on the A139 Pro. Fortunately, every VIOFO dash cam package now includes a static windshield sticker that can be used on both the A139 and the A139 Pro.

Rear and Interior Cameras

Similar to the A139, the A139 Pro is also available in one, two, and three-channel configurations. The A139 Pro secondary cameras - like the rear and the IR in-cabin camera - could be kept with the A139 Pro. Yes, it's possible that you just buy the A139 Pro’s front unit, and swap it out for the A139!

CPL Filter

If you have a CPL filter for your VIOFO A139 dash cam, you can also keep and reuse it for the A139 Pro. It’s compatible, although every purchase of the A139 Pro now includes a free CPL to keep your footage reflection and glare free, on top of the 4K video resolution!

What’s even better is that the new CPL filter for the A139 Pro fits directly to the front camera lens, with a much less bulky and noticeable design as the old CPL model. It is also compatible with the VIOFO WM1, A229, and T130 series.

Battery Pack

If you’re using a battery pack for the VIOFO A139, you can also use it for the A139 Pro as both support parking modes. The BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 works best for both dash cams.

Both cameras will need a spliced VIOFO USB-C power cable to connect the dash camera to a battery pack. Check out this guide on the compatible cables to use for other dash cam models and brands.
