Garmin Acc, Quick Power Adapter | Plugs into Obd-Ii for Constant Power, 2 USB Outputs, 10m/24h and Always Timer, 12V Low-Battery Cutoff

So easy to instal...if you can't do it then its the user not the item that is at fault - its the same as plugging in...well a plug! Quality item with a snug and secure fit. It doesn't have to be used with a Garmin camera too but I have.

Bit expensive but works well. With 2 USB outlets it powers my dash cam and powers my phone while acting as my Navigator. Limited power so don't expect to fast charge a big smart phone but it will keep it topped up while its displaying your route. I was initially a bit concerned that equipment was staying on, but after careful checking once I remove keys from ignition and lock the car, it goes 10 mins before powering off. I managed to neatly hide the wires so overall I saved money vs a garage installing this.

This is an absolute game changer when it comes to installing a dash cam! I've used it on my own car and my mums car and it makes the installation so much easier and tidier. There's no wires hanging around and the OBD power adapter is sleek and low profile. I've used it on my Abarth 595 and the parking mode works for a good amount of time before powering down and I haven't had any issues with the dashcam draining the battery. I got another one of these for my mums car as the dashcam was hardwired in and after not being used for a day, the car battery would be dead. I'm optimistic that this will solve that issue. The selector switch on the adapter itself gives you 3 options. 10 minute, 24 hour or indefinitely providing power to the connected accessories and it also shuts down depending on the car battery voltage meaning theres no worries of the car not starting after a prolonged period. Overall, this is expensive, however makes powering a dashcam with parking mode so much easier!

Bought as a spare, works fine.

Investing in a dash cam is a wise decision for any vehicle owner. However, the installation process can sometimes be a hassle, especially when it comes to hardwiring the device. I actually delayed purchasing a dash cam, as I was unsure how to properly wire it - I din't want to use the cigarettes lighter socket, as I didn't want any cables obstructing the interior of my car. It is an incredibly useful piece of kit designed to allow for easy hardwiring of up to two USB devices- for example, you can connect 2 dash cams, front and rear. One of the main advantages is its convenience. There's no need to worry about fuse taps or finding suitable fuses to tap, making the installation process faster and hassle-free. While the price is higher compared to a traditional fuse tap solution, the convenience it offers makes it well worth the investment.

I purchased this unit as it was a Garmin product and I did not fancy purchasing one of those cheap £8 to £15 Chinese units. This unit has a switch that cuts the power to the dash camera after 10 minutes or another position after 24 hours of constant use to stop any chance the dash cam might leave you with a flat battery. The OBD unit has a censor that cuts the power when a pre set voltage has been reached so your car will start and not leave you stranded. Another feature with this unit if your car is rocked when it is switched off or hit the unit sends power again and records for another 10 minutes ( not tried when set on 24hour setting ). Just to be clear this unit will not work like a hard wiring kit and will not put the Dash cam into true parking mode (well it did not on mine anyway. Road Angel Ultra 4K). When the OBD unit is on it has a red constant light on it and flashes slowly when the set time is over and goes out if the battery voltage drops below the set level. Please look and see where your OBD port is and if you are able to plug this unit into it and still be able to replace covers etc, mine was underneath the passenger parcel shelf and fitted perfectly and can hardly be seen. The unit is working well and I am pleased with it so far, hope the extra cost rewards me with a long working life fingers crossed.

This way of powering front and rear Garmin cams is a bit of a secret, as I only stumbled across it by chance, rather than research. However it is a fantastic option - simple and discreet, while keeping messy cables from ruining the look of my tidy centre console (by avoiding using the cigar lighter at all). Fitting was very easy. I originally had resigned myself to using a Halfords fitting service to hardwire the cams to the fuse box, but that also meant when changing cars would need paying to remove or leave wires behind. But this little box plugs into a port under the steering wheel designed for interfacing with a diagnostic computer. The device gives the choice to keep powering the cams for 10mins, 24 hours or always, once the car is switched off. I leave it on 10 mins so never worry about it draining the battery, which apparently will never happen anyway as there is a sensor that stops the cams using power if the battery voltage falls below a set safe level. Thoroughly recommend for a tidy install.

I dislike the excessive price!! Not justifiable for what it is but it’s the only one recommended for my Garmin Mini 2 dash cam. Easy to plug into the OBD Port to provide the power you need when you switch on the ignition. Has 2 USB ports so you can charge or plug another device into it. Comes with a decent amount of power cable and a small double sided sticky pad that allows you to fix the body of the unit to a suitable place out of the way for a tidy out of the way install. You can also set it so it turns off with the ignition or remain on for 10 minutes in parking mode or 24 hours ( assume this is constant ) in parking mode, the instructions state that if set to 24 hours it will monitor your cars battery voltage and switch itself off of if the voltage discharges to a level that would mean the car wouldn’t start As I said it could be a lot cheaper and is, in my opinion very over priced for what it is but it does the job it’s designed to do.

Plugged it into the OBD-II port, and it worked immediately. My Garmin dash cam now supports parking mode without hardwiring. Clean installation and reliable performance.

Do jedneg USB mam podłączona kamerę, do drugieg GPS tracker. Ustawione na 10 min opóźnienie po wyłączeniu auta, pozwala to zapomnieć o ładowaniu baterii w urządzeniach. W razie wstrząsów w aucie, przywraca zasilanie na kolejne 10 minut :) / edit. Niestety po kilku miesiącach urządzenie przestaje trzymać ustawienia i kamerka działa cały czas po wyłączeniu auta, dopiero wypięcie i ponowne włożenie do OBD pomaga na chwilę. Już 2 urządzenie i oba mają to samo :(

Duur maar het werkt uitstekend met mijn twee Garmin dashcams in de auto.

Works great and you can power 2 dashcams at once without draining the battery (because it shuts down when battery is low 🪫
