OBD II Constant power cable

Has anyone tried one of these to power a dash cam? Plugs into the OBD II Port and selectable to allow constant power or power for 10 mins after the ignition is switched off. It seems a much simpler method than piggy backing a fuse etc to hardwire a dash cam?

Is the OBD permanent live when the car is off??

Or can it be made to be?

Tyrefitter, thanks for your reply..so are you using the Thinkware OBD II permanently connected to your car? and does it have some kind of electrical circuit protection?

Autobiography1969, thanks for your reply. I believe the switch on the adapter can be selected for permanent power (24hrs) or 10 mins after ignition has been off.

Autobiography1969 heres a good link:https:

//www.thedashcamstore.com/garmin-obd-ii-constant-power-parking-mode-cable/

Just found out from Garmin it can be selected to supply power for 10 mins after igntion off, 24 hrs after ignition off or be permanent power supply.

Going to ask my indy L/R chap what he thinks about using the OBD port..think i'll know he's answer!

I Got one of these with my Garmin dashcam 57 and it seems to work exactly as described: shuts off power after 10 mins (with a 24 hour option) It also completely powers down if the battery voltage gets too low.
To me, this is definitely better than messing with piggyback fuses etc.

I havent had any ptoblems hitting it with my legs - it dowsnt seem to stick out much. 2020 SVR Santorini Black
