VANTRUE10ft Type C USB LED Screen OBD Hardwire Power Cable, 3 Gear Shifting, Low Voltage Protection for Parking Mode, for E1 Pro,N4 Pro,N5,N5S,N4,N4S,S1 Pro,N2 Pro,N2X,E360/ACE,E1 Lite,E2,E3 Dash Cam

I hardwired the dashcam into the fusebox. In a 2012 Tundra, there are two. I used the one under the hood. It took 2 hours and I didn't know if I got it right. I think it worked, but Meee.I bought this one and it was installed in 20 minutes or less. Plug it in and it works. The voltage indicator is really great. No worries about the battery dying. DO NOT GET THE HARD WIRE KIT! GET THIS. Save yoursellffffff!

Works perfect. It is compatible with my Viofo A229Pro. The power is adjustable on the box itself and has a small LED to show voltage output. 10 foot is just the right length and has enough slack for adjustment. The value for the quality of the product is spot on and recommend this for anyone to purchase.

Works exactly as intended and is perfect for its purpose. Be sure to adjust your camera’s settings to match your recording preferences—otherwise, like me, you may end up capturing every single passing car. I’ve been using it for several months now without a single issue. Even after leaving my car untouched for five days, the battery protection feature kicked in flawlessly, so I can confirm it works as advertised.

Let me start by saying this: I saw someone else's review where they said that their single problem with the product is that they have to manually shut off the camera and that they thought that it would collectively shut down when they shut off the vehicle...Ummmmm! Then you just wasted $30 bucks when all you needed was the cigarette lighter plug which was already provided in the original packaging...The WHOLE POINT of this accessory is to plug in your camera and for it to stay on. It's the hardwire ALTERNATIVE to having to remove fuses, hoping you removed the right one and all the other rigamarole...With this, you just thread it through to make it inconspicuous, plug it into your ODB, connect it to your camera and YOU'RE ALL READY TO "DASH CAM" (is that a thing? WELP! I guess it is now).This product was a game changer, for me!!! Before I knew this was available, I was very hesitant to attempt to use the fuse hardwire method to install the N4 Pro. I'm pretty technologically inclined and know my way around electrical stuff, for the most part, but it's still my new SUV. I wasn't trying to mess any of the electrical settings up, fiddling with stuff...Yes, the fuse hardwire would have kept my ODB free and clear and the plug IS rather difficult to pull out if I DO need to use it, but that's MINOR compared to being able to have the 24/7 monitoring that's promised as one of the benefits of hardwiring.In short? I'm fully satisfied!Now, if I can just find out if that rear camera for the N5 is compatible with my N4 Pro and if it is, if it's compatible WITHOUT reducing the resolution and quality (2160) of my main camera!

Only complaint I have to manually shut off the camera it won't cut power to the camera when turning off the car. I suppose that may be good for some.

This is one of the best features of Vantrue Dash Cams. It plugs right in to your OBD reader for power. No messing splicing, no fuse boxes, and it has a limiter that prevents it from draining your battery if in too much use. Highly recommend this with ANY type USB C type connection.

Update: Auto shutoff doesn’t work My hybrid’s battery started dying after a few months of use and it led to a little more research after having to jumpstart my car a few times. It’s like what a few others said. It doesn’t shut off power when voltage dropped to below 12.4V. The dash cam is still on!Firstly, the OBD port is typically at the lower left below the wheel where you rest your foot, which makes cable routing just as nice as hardwiring. This took me less than 5 minutes to setup, including tucking the cable into trims.Other adapters on Amazon typically has a switch toggle between accessory (on while driving) and always on (cut off at 11.6V). Those can be problematic for hybrid/modern cars. ( See P.S)Instead, this Vantrue OBD adapter is always on, allowing you to select the voltage, it then cuts off power 5 minutes after it drops below the set cutoff.12.4V: Close to ACC, since it’s easy for the voltage to fluctuate below it, triggering the shutdown.12V: Around 50% drain, on my car and dashcam it’s 2 hours of low resolution recording or 1.5 days of collision detection (with quick boot)11.6V: The battery is almost dead. You might only have one start left. I don’t use this.Sat in the car, parking mode triggered as expected. The12.4V and 12.0V to work exactly as advertised. It’s really nice that it shows the set voltage for a moment when the cutoff voltage is changed, giving you confidence that it’s set correctly. I typically leave it at 12.4V, turn it into 12V mode when I’m parked in a higher risk area. It’s also really nice to have a live reading of battery voltage because of this adapter.I think the $10+ premium is totally worth it, this is a much better product than the two mode OBD adapters.Small wishes for future versions:- Having the USB-C cable on top and OBD at the bottom probably makes more sense for most cars?- Bigger toggle switch so it’s easier to flip.- Only having metal pins for 4,5 and 16 so it’s dead sure that it doesn’t have ability read/write to the OBD port.P.S. In typical adapters, ACC detection relies on guessing the car’s on/off state through voltage fluctuations. That’s prone to errors and didn’t work on my hybrid. Tried a few other adapters before this, all had weird issues like the controller cutting off power in the middle of a drive or that it just kept drawing power after the car turned off.

Ease of installation:It was very easy to install, you just have to take your time on hiding the wires into the panel.
