ssontong Upgraded OBD2 OBD Power Cable for Dash Camera, OBD to Type-C USB OBDII Adapter Hardwire Charger Cable 24 Hours Surveillance and Acc Two Mode with Switch Button (Type-C USB Port)

Works as intended and fits nicely on my obd port, seller responded quickly and honored warranty on this product, and arrived within 2 days! Would definitely buy from them again :)

This is a hardwire charger cable designed to power dash-cams, radar detectors, and other USB-C devices directly from your vehicle's OBD or OBD2 port. This eliminates the need for connections to the car battery, fuse box, or cigarette lighter. It features two work modes: "ACC" for when you only want the device powered when your car is on, and "Surveillance" for always-on (for things like 24-hour parking monitoring). There is a switch to select which mode you want. It was really easy to just plug it into my car's OBD port to power my dash cam. Having to deal with the fuse box would have been a nightmare, since the fuse box isn't in the passenger cabin on my car (Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid).NOTE: the first one I received did not work in ACC mode, I had it replaced and the second one did work in ACC mode (where it provides power only when the car is ON).Pros:– Easy and convenient power source directly from the OBD port– Eliminates wiring to the fuse box (or cigarette lighter which is ugly)– Switchable between two modes: ACC and 24-hour Surveillance– Built-in low voltage protection shut off power draw to prevent car battery total drain– USB-C compatible (can also convert to other USB types using a USB adapter cable)– Simple to install - just plug it into the OBD portCons:– Reliability may not be great - my first one didn't work in ACC modeOverall, despite the issue with the first charger cable, I would still recommend this as a great solution to power a dash cam. The cable can be routed along the edge of the windshield keeping it out of sight like a factory install, which is much harder to do if you're plugging it into a cigarette lighter which is usually in the center console of your car. Get the look of a factory install without the hassle of dealing w. the fuse box.

Installed this adaptor for dash cam. Below is my feedbackPros1. Price2. Length of wire is more than enough3. Clean installCons1. None at this time

I really did not want to tap into my fuses or hard wire in my dash cam, so this was a great solution and I loved the switch to change modes. There are only three connections. Two ground and a full time power so no risk of damaging the computer.Pay attention to the location/orientation of your OBD port and your situation. In one of my cars, it is directly above the emergency brake. The device will extend about 3/4" so you want to be careful you don't kick it. In my Ram truck the OBD points down, directly below steering column so work boots could definitely kick it. I suppose there is risk of damaging the port if kicked hard enough. Just something to consider.The two "modes" are a bit of a mystery. With only those 3 ports, how does it know if the car is on or not? It's not connected to the key/acc switch in any way. Best I can tell, it uses voltage. If the input voltage is above 12.8 volts, it assumes the car is running. If it drops below 12.8 volts it starts the 20 minute timer for "Acc mode" and shuts off. So it doesn't matter where the key is, only if the engine is running and putting out more than 12.8 volts.Still, very nice. The switch lets me turn on surveillance mode if I want it for a situation, but it is NOT a true "parking mode" on the camera. Since both both modes output the 5 volts the camera wants, it just keeps running as if you were driving, so you have video of your garage. Parking monitoring wasn't a big factor for me, but if it is, this may not be your best answer. Shutting off at 11.6 volts is nice though. That'll get your car started in most situations so you're not stranded. I've had other cameras drain the battery completely.

I ordered this item to install in a new vehicle I was about to purchase. I finally got my Car, A 2021 GMC Arcadia Denali. I finally installed it, but after the expiration of the return date had passed. The 1st time I let the car sit for about 3 days I found the battery dead. Called road service and they came to give me a jump start and the guy told me to turn off all elecrtical items prior to him connecting the jump battery. I unplugged the device from the OBD and made sure all items were off and the car started OK. I drove for about 1/2 hour @ 45+mph to make sure the battery was fully charged. I restored all the switches etc to normal and plugged the Device back into the OBD connector. The very next morning "DEAD BATTERY" ????? Got another jump start from the newly purchased NOCO GB40 Boost Plus I ordered from Amazon for $99.95, and left the OBD unit unplugged and the car has no more depleted battery issues. I plugged the OBD device back into the port and used an old dash camera for a test. This was done to eliminate the car and the new cameras I installed. The camera never lost power even after the ACC had timed out. I then cut the wire off the OBD unit and wired the installed cameras to the power port in my console and have had no further problems with battery or the camera operation. Routing the power to my cameras was very difficult so I cut the old OBD units cable and used it to connect to my power point. Summation: The switch on the OBD unit I purchased does not turn off the 5V output when placed in etiher position, (it puts out 5V when ever it's plugged in regardless) Plus the fact that the advertised battery drain circuit either does not function properly (does not shut down when battery is below 11.6) or is non existant in this unit. Did they mix up and send the wrong style???? Doubt that but possible. Anyway don't waste your coin of the realm on this item, it's junk!

Works perfect for kia sorento 2020

Bought it to power my dash cam on my truck. It was easy to install. So easy that I got it for all my cars to power their dash cams too! Great product. No issues at all.
