The Garmin OBD2 constant power cable provides continuous power to your Garmin dash cam, even when your car is off. This ensures 24/7 surveillance and peace of mind, recording incidents that may occur while your vehicle is parked. Simply plug the cable into your vehicle’s OBD-II port – it’s a true “plug and play” installation.
Powering Multiple Dash Cams with Dual USB Ports
The Garmin Constant Power Cable Obd2 features dual USB ports, allowing you to connect and power two Garmin dash cams simultaneously. This enables comprehensive coverage, capturing events from multiple angles. For instance, power a Garmin Dash Cam 57 in your front windshield and a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 in the rear window for complete front and rear recording.
Customizable Power Options with Adjustable Time Switch
The Garmin OBD-II power cable offers three power modes to suit your needs:
10-Minute Mode
In this mode, your dash cam operates for 10 minutes after your vehicle’s engine is turned off, then automatically powers down. It reactivates when you restart the engine.
24-Hour Mode
This mode keeps your dash cam running for 24 hours after you turn off your vehicle. A built-in low battery protection feature prevents a dead battery by shutting off the camera if your vehicle’s battery voltage drops below 12V.
Always-On Mode
Your dash cam receives continuous power in this mode. The integrated low battery protection automatically shuts off the camera if the voltage falls below 12V, safeguarding your vehicle’s battery. The camera restarts when the engine is turned on.
The timer automatically resets upon detecting external motion, impact, door opening, or engine activity.
Low Voltage Protection for Your Vehicle’s Battery
The Garmin constant power cable OBD2 incorporates a safety feature that shuts down the power supply within 10 minutes if the battery voltage dips below 12V, preventing battery drain.
Understanding the Status LED Indicator
The red LED light on the OBD cable indicates its status:
- Solid Red: Power is being supplied to connected devices.
- Flashing Red: The timer has expired, and power is no longer supplied.
- Off: The cable is receiving less than 12V, indicating low battery protection activation.
Garmin Dash Cam Compatibility
The Garmin OBD2 constant power cable is compatible with various Garmin dash cam models, including:
- 6 Series
- 7 Series
- Mini Series
- Tandem Series
- Live LTE Series
- X Series
Note: This cable is compatible with most passenger vehicles but not with commercial vehicles using a J1939 connector.
