Turn your Garmin dash cam into a 24/7 security camera with the new Garmin OBD-II Constant Power Cable! Simply plug the cable into the vehicle's ODB-II diagnostic port and your dash cam will receive constant power at all times, even when off, so you can rest easy.

Dual Output

Up to two Garmin dash cams can be connected to the dual USB power ports on the constant power cable, for multiple recording angles. Place a Garmin Dash Cam 57 in the front windshield and a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 in the rear window, for front and rear video coverage for example.

Adjustable Time Switch

The OBD-II Power Cable has three options for supplying power to your Garmin dash cam:

10 Minute Mode: Your Garmin dash cam will power off after you exit your vehicle. The dash camera will continue to run for 10 minutes after your engine is off and then will power down. Your camera will then power back on automatically the next time you start your engine.
24 Hour Mode: Your Garmin dash cam will remain on for 24 hours after you turn your vehicle off. The Power Cable has a built-in low battery detection that will shut off the camera if your vehicle battery reaches below 12V, which prevents you from returning to a dead battery!
Always On Mode: Your Garmin dash cam will remain powered on continuously unless the built-in low battery detection sees that your vehicle battery has reached the safety cutoff threshold of 12V or below. The dash cam will then power back on once the engine is restarted.

The internal timer will automatically reset whenever outside motion is detected, an impact occurs, a vehicle door opens, or the engine is running.

Low Battery Protection

The ODB-II cable has built-in vehicle battery protection by shutting down within 10 minutes if it detects the battery voltage is less than 12.0.

LED Status Indicator

The status indicator LED shows the OBD Cable status:

Red: The device is supplying power to the connected devices.
Flashing Red: The timer has expired and the device is no longer supplying power to the connected devices.
Off: The device is receiving less than 12 V of power. The low battery protection feature turns off the device to protect the vehicle battery.
