FAQ
Q1. Which vehicles can use the OBD power cable?
The OBD power cable can be used with most vehicles equipped with an OBD-II port. However, depending on the vehicle manufacturer, model, year, and OBD port power design, some vehicles may not operate normally or may have limited compatibility. In some vehicles, the OBD port may continue supplying power even after the ignition is turned off, or ACC status may not be detected properly. We recommend checking your vehicle’s OBD port characteristics and compatibility before purchase.
Q2. Does parking mode switch normally when using the OBD power cable?
In most vehicles, yes. The OBD power cable is designed to detect ACC ON/OFF status, allowing normal switching between driving mode and parking mode in general. However, depending on the vehicle’s power supply behavior, some vehicles may show different parking mode behavior or limited ACC detection. After installation, please make sure that switching between driving mode and parking mode is working properly.
Q3. Does using the OBD port affect the vehicle?
Under normal use, it does not directly affect the vehicle. The OBD power cable receives power through the vehicle’s OBD port, allowing easier installation without direct fuse box wiring. However, depending on the vehicle manufacturer and specific model, OBD port power retention behavior may differ, and some vehicles may behave differently than expected. After installation, please check that parking mode switching and battery protection functions are operating normally.
Q4. Is the OBD power cable better than the hardwire cable?
Both methods support parking mode recording, but they differ in installation method and convenience. The OBD power cable is easier to install because it does not require fuse box wiring and can be removed more easily. The hardwire cable connects directly to the fuse box and is the more common installation method. Depending on the vehicle, it may provide more stable power supply. We recommend choosing the method that best fits your vehicle and installation preference.
