Are you tired of your dashcam cluttering up your cigarette lighter socket? The Vantrue Mini Usb To Obd2 direct-wire kit offers a seamless solution. Designed for straightforward installation, this adapter plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, freeing up your 12V outlet and providing a stable power source for your dashcam and enabling parking mode.
Why Choose a Mini USB to OBD2 Adapter for Your Dashcam?
Utilizing your car’s OBD2 port to power your dashcam offers several advantages. Primarily, it eliminates the need to use the cigarette lighter socket, allowing you to power other devices simultaneously. Beyond convenience, this hardwire kit enables your dashcam’s parking mode feature. Parking mode is crucial for 24/7 vehicle surveillance, recording incidents even when your car is parked and unattended.
This Vantrue OBD2 adapter is engineered with smart technology to protect your vehicle’s battery. It features a built-in voltage monitor that automatically cuts off power to the dashcam when your car battery voltage drops to a safe level (11.6V or 23.2V). This prevents excessive battery drain, ensuring your car will start even after extended parking mode recording.
Installation is designed to be user-friendly. Simply locate your vehicle’s OBD-II port, typically found under the dashboard on the driver’s side, and plug in the adapter. The Mini-USB connector is widely compatible with a range of dashcams, including popular Vantrue models like the N2 Pro, N2, X3, T2, N1 Pro, X1, and X4, as well as GPS navigators and radar detectors that use a Mini-USB power input. The integrated fuse within the adapter removes the need for external fuse taps, further simplifying the setup process.
