Review: Review of the Thinkware Universal OBD2 Power Cable for Dashcams - The Thinkware Universal OBD2 Power Cable is designed to make installing a dash cam simple by drawing power directly from your car's OBD2 port. This method eliminates the need for complicated wiring or hard wiring kits, making it a convenient option for most users, especially for those who don’t want to mess around with their vehicle’s fuse box. Key Features: Ease of Installation: The standout feature of this cable is its plug-and-play design. Connecting to the OBD2 port, usually located under the dashboard, makes it easy to install without professional help. It's especially helpful for those who want a hassle-free setup. Continuous Power: The cable supports continuous power, meaning it enables parking mode for the dashcam, allowing your camera to stay on while the car is parked to record any incidents or suspicious activity. Universal Compatibility: As it’s designed for all Thinkware dash cams and works with most vehicles that have an OBD2 port, it adds flexibility if you have different car models. Compatibility with a range of dash cam models is a big plus. Compact and Discreet: The cable itself is quite discreet, so it doesn’t clutter the car’s interior. It can be routed easily to hide the wires along the trim, keeping everything looking neat. No Need for Fuse Tapping: If you are uncomfortable with traditional dash cam hard wiring that involves tapping into the car's fuse box, this cable eliminates that hassle, making it a safer option for non-technical users. Pros: Easy Setup: Installation takes minutes, without requiring technical skills. Non-Intrusive: No need to modify your car's wiring or access the fuse box. Parking Mode: Allows dash cam to monitor your vehicle while parked, giving you peace of mind. Compatibility: Works with all Thinkware dash cams and most vehicles with an OBD2 port. Cons: OBD2 Port Usage: Since it uses the OBD2 port, you might not be able to use that port for diagnostics or other devices without unplugging the cable. However, most users rarely need frequent access to the OBD2 port. Power Drain: Depending on your car, leaving the dashcam connected through the OBD2 port for extended periods might drain the battery, especially if parking mode is frequently used in older vehicles with weaker batteries. Ideal For: Users who want an easy, tool-free installation for their dashcam. People who frequently use parking mode on their dashcams. Those who don’t want to deal with fuse taps or modifying their car’s electrical system. Final Verdict: The Thinkware Universal OBD2 Power Cable is a practical solution for anyone looking to simplify their dash cam installation. With its ease of use, compatibility, and parking mode functionality, it’s a great option, especially for users who aren’t comfortable hard wiring or altering their car’s setup. While it does occupy the OBD2 port, the convenience of installation and reliable power source it offers makes it a worthy addition to your dash cam setup.
Review: Save you time and money - I purchased this with the dash cam, and it saved me both the cost of professional installation and a lot of time — it took just a few seconds to set up by plugging it into the OBD reader. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to install and works a treat
*by S***E on 28 September 2022*

This item was one of a few deciding factors to install a Thinkware dash cam, and having purchased it, it was easy to install and works well on a Lexus ES 300h. Not sure why other dash cam manufacturers don’t use this method for connecting power to their equipment. One minor downside is that it doesn’t use a pass through connector, so would have to be disconnected should the vehicle’s OBD2 port need to be used for its main purpose. That said, I’d rather use this method of connection than the alternatives.
