Places wanted $175-250 to install my F200PRO. Since I am not comfortable messing with my car's electrical I opted for the OBD power cord. Install was a breeze. Only issue is slight delay, 5 minutes, for parking mode to kick in. Other than that, no issues at all.

It works very well. I bought it separately, and I also got the OBD II cable to make the installation easier. The only issue is that, for some reason, it didn’t work for me on Android, only on iOS. I’m not sure why. On the cable, there are settings for whether the car is hybrid/electric (EV) or gasoline (F), and there’s also an option to enable parking mode by setting it to P. However, you also need to configure the camera app and enable parking mode if you want it to record while the car is parked. ... show more

    • Simple Installation
This is an easier way to connect power to your dashcam. Yes, a hardwire installation (fuse box) is best but this is second best. With this connection the parking mode is delayed a little (45 seconds). Been installed on my vehicle for 4-5 months now with no issues.

    • Easy install
The Thinkware OBD-II connector is the easiest way to provide constant power to your camera. I was going back and forth on buying this cable or tapping into a constant in my fuse box. The problem with going into your fuse box is finding a constant power source that you can tap off of. You'll most likely end up using a fuse tap that piggybacks off of an existing circuit. I believe they're also called "add-a-circuit" taps. My concern on doing something like that is adding excessive load to whatever circuit you're tapping into. Similar to when your home circuit breaker trips because your circuit is overloaded. The fuse could potentially pop at any time while on the road. I'm not saying the Thinkware cameras use a lot of power, but I did have a generic dashcam blow the fuse on my cigarette lighter/aux power. Basically the reason why I now have a Thinkware camera system. This OBD-II power connector eliminated all my concerns. Installation was really easy. You just need an idea on how you're going to route the cable and a little understanding on how car panels are installed and you're good to go. Now I'm able to utilize the parking record and event detection feature on my camera. ... show more

    • Works as expected
I am using a thinkware set for my 2021 bmw X3. I use u1000 front and rear camera, obd cable to power those, 128gb memory card and the radar accessory. Trying to add some points which may not be obvious from other reviews. 1. I was able to power the camera using obd cable, both for continuous recording and parking mode. 2. The cables for obd power and the one for rear camera connection, both are lengthy enough to wire them for SUV of this size. 3. Radar accessory helps in saving power, but cloud functions won't work in energy saving mode. Which means you won't get notification of an impact or the camera won't upload the impact videos to cloud. 4. The mobile app is pathetic with lot of bugs. I have used it on both Android and iOS. The app is totally useless on Android 12. I could get all configurations working on Android 11. 5. There are lot of announcements by the dashcam related to events and other notifications. There is no option to selectively control the alerts. This is very annoying. 6. The dashcam does not come with adjustable mounts. 7. The buttons on the camera are very tiny and it is very difficult to locate those in dark. 8. There are two ways to connect dashcam to your phone. A) dashcam servers as a wifi source and connect your phone to it B) Connect dashcam to your phone's hotspot. 9. The antiglare filter that comes with camera really helps in eliminating dashboard reflections First option is error free and fast. But you need the second option to register the camera to cloud and to add other wifi networks for camera to connect to. Second option is very buggy to setup. Update - 1. If you find that camera is not getting powered from the obd port, but the red light on connector blinks, try removing and connecting the obd connector to the port 3 times. 2. I was also able to use a 256GB card with the dashcam, even though it is not officially supported. 3. The lane assistance other other warnings are not of much use as there is significant delay in those signals. ... show more

    • Best way to hook up dash cam
Plugs right into your OBDII outlet (located within three feet of your steering wheel.) Much easier than searching out a fuse box AND THEN finding the proper fuse like you have to do with the power line that comes with the dash cam.
