Are you looking to maximize the protection offered by your Garmin dash cam? The Garmin Constant Power OBD2 Cable is the key to unlocking always-on surveillance for your vehicle. This simple, plug-and-play accessory ensures your compatible Garmin dash cam remains powered even after you turn off the ignition, providing crucial continuous recording and peace of mind.
Unleash Parking Mode and Continuous Monitoring
The primary advantage of the Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable lies in its ability to enable parking mode and extended recording times for your dash cam. Unlike standard power cables that only function when your car is running, this OBD2 cable taps directly into your vehicle’s diagnostic port to provide a constant power supply. This means your Garmin dash cam can continue to record even when your car is parked and unattended, acting as a vigilant sentry against incidents like parking lot collisions or vandalism.
Dual Dash Cam Support for Comprehensive Coverage
For enhanced security, the Garmin Constant Power Cable features dual USB ports. This smart design allows you to power two Garmin dash cams simultaneously from a single OBD2 port. Imagine having a Garmin Dash Cam 57 monitoring the road ahead and a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 capturing events from the rear – all powered by one convenient cable. This dual-camera setup provides comprehensive, all-around protection for your vehicle.
Customizable Power Modes for Your Needs
Garmin understands that different drivers have different needs. That’s why the OBD2 Power Cable offers three distinct power modes, easily selectable via a built-in switch:
- 10-Minute Mode: Ideal for short stops, this mode keeps your dash cam powered for 10 minutes after you switch off the engine. It then automatically powers down and reactivates when you restart your car, balancing surveillance with battery conservation.
- 24-Hour Mode: For extended parking monitoring, the 24-hour mode keeps your dash cam running for a full day after parking. Intelligently designed with low-voltage detection, it automatically shuts off if your car battery dips below 12V, preventing battery drain and ensuring you can always start your vehicle.
- Always-On Mode: For maximum vigilance, the “Always On” mode provides continuous power to your dash cam. Similar to the 24-hour mode, it includes low battery voltage protection to safeguard your vehicle’s battery. The built-in timer smartly resets upon motion detection, impact, door opening, or engine start, optimizing power usage and recording efficiency.
Smart Battery Protection and Status Indication
Worried about draining your car battery? The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable incorporates intelligent low battery protection. If the cable detects your car battery voltage dropping below 12.0V, it will automatically shut down within 10 minutes, preserving enough power to start your engine.
A clear Red Status LED indicator provides immediate feedback on the cable’s operation:
- Solid Red: Indicates power is being supplied to your dash cam(s).
- Flashing Red: Signals that the timer has expired, and power is no longer being supplied.
- Off: Indicates the cable is receiving less than 12V, and low battery protection is active.

The Garmin Constant Power OBD2 Cable is designed for wide compatibility with a range of popular Garmin dash cam series, including:
- 6 Series
- 7 Series
- Mini Series
