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)

Stay away from this, stopped working within 3 months of purchase, now stuck with this useless product wastage of money

I was cautiously optimistic about this device..... but it works like a charm! Just plug it into the USB-C dash cam power port and route it down through the dash to the OBD-2 port and finish the installation. MUCH easier than one of the hardwire kits where you have to search the right fuse (or fuses) and mess with hooking all that up. I would recommend!

Works great

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 port Cons: – Reliability may not be great - my first one didn't work in ACC mode Overall, 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.

Super easy install. Works great.

I bought this for the toggle so that my system would turn off when the vehicle is off and turn on when the vehicle is off. However, I will have to switch it twice when the vehicle is off to turn it off and sometimes it will randomly turn on which is not what I was wanting out of this product
