Ensure your vehicle is continuously monitored with the Garmin Dash Cam Obd2 Constant Power Cable. This simple plug-and-play solution easily connects to your vehicle’s OBD-II port, providing constant power to your Garmin dash cam, even when the engine is off. Rest easy knowing your car is under surveillance around the clock.
Power Two Dash Cams with Dual USB Ports
Maximize your coverage by connecting not just one, but two Garmin dash cams to this constant power cable. Featuring dual USB ports, you can simultaneously power front and rear dash cams for comprehensive protection. Imagine pairing a Garmin Dash Cam 57 on your windshield with a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 at the rear. This setup provides all-around video recording, capturing events from multiple perspectives.
Selectable Power Modes for Your Needs
The OBD-II Power Cable offers versatile power management with three distinct modes, allowing you to customize how your Garmin dash cam operates when your vehicle is parked:
10 Minute Mode
Ideal for short stops, the 10 Minute Mode keeps your dash cam powered for ten minutes after you switch off the ignition. This setting is perfect for capturing incidents that might occur immediately after parking. After ten minutes, the camera intelligently powers down to conserve battery, and automatically reactivates when you restart your car.
24 Hour Mode
For extended parking surveillance, choose the 24 Hour Mode. Your Garmin dash cam will remain active for a full 24 hours after your car is turned off, providing continuous monitoring. Intelligently designed with built-in low voltage detection, this mode safeguards your vehicle’s battery. If the voltage drops below 12V, the power cable will automatically shut off the dash cam, preventing battery drain and ensuring you can start your vehicle when you return.
Always On Mode
For maximum protection, the Always On Mode provides continuous power to your dash cam. In this mode, the camera operates without interruption unless the low battery protection is triggered. Similar to the 24 Hour Mode, if your vehicle’s battery voltage falls to 12V or below, the power cable will cut power to the dash cam to prevent battery depletion. Once the engine restarts, normal operation resumes automatically.
The intelligent timer embedded within the OBD-II cable automatically resets in any mode upon detecting motion, impact, door opening, or when the engine is running. This ensures that critical events are always captured, regardless of the chosen power mode.
Smart Low Battery Protection
Protecting your vehicle’s battery is paramount. The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable includes a crucial low battery protection feature. If the cable detects a battery voltage below 12.0V, it will intelligently shut down power delivery within 10 minutes. This safeguard prevents excessive battery drain, ensuring your vehicle is ready to start when you need it.
Intuitive Red Status LED Indicator
The integrated red status LED provides instant visual feedback on the OBD Cable’s operational status:
- Solid Red: Indicates that the cable is actively supplying power to your connected Garmin dash cam(s).
- Flashing Red: Signals that the selected timer (10 Minute or 24 Hour) has expired, and power is no longer being supplied to the dash cam(s).
- Off: Indicates that the cable is receiving less than 12V of power from the vehicle’s battery. In this state, the low battery protection is active and has turned off power output to protect the vehicle’s battery.
