Continuous protection for your vehicle is now simpler than ever with the Garmin Obd2 Adapter. This ingenious device ensures your Garmin dash cam remains powered even after you switch off the ignition, providing round-the-clock surveillance and peace of mind. Installation is a breeze – just plug it into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, and you’re set to enjoy uninterrupted recording.
Unleash Full Surveillance Potential with Constant Power
The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable unlocks the true potential of your dash cam’s parking mode. By supplying continuous power, it allows your device to monitor your vehicle even when you’re not around. This is crucial for capturing crucial footage in case of parking incidents, vandalism, or any unexpected events that may occur while your car is unattended. No more worrying about missing vital evidence – your Garmin dash cam is always on guard.
Key Features of the Garmin OBD2 Adapter
This adapter is packed with features designed to maximize your dash cam’s functionality and protect your vehicle’s battery.
Dual USB Ports for Multi-Camera Setups
Maximize your coverage by connecting not just one, but two Garmin dash cams. The dual USB ports on the OBD2 adapter allow you to power a front-facing camera like the Garmin Dash Cam 57 and a rear-facing camera such as the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 simultaneously. This dual-camera setup provides comprehensive front and rear video recording, ensuring no angle is missed.

Customizable Power Modes to Suit Your Needs
The Garmin OBD2 Adapter offers three distinct power modes, allowing you to tailor its operation to your specific requirements:
- 10-Minute Mode: Ideal for short stops, this mode keeps your dash cam powered for 10 minutes after the engine is turned off. It then automatically powers down to conserve battery, and reactivates upon your next engine start.
- 24-Hour Mode: For extended parking surveillance, the 24-hour mode keeps your dash cam running for a full day after parking. Intelligently designed with low voltage detection, it will automatically shut off if your car battery drops below 12V, preventing battery drain.
- Always-On Mode: For continuous recording without interruption, the Always-On mode keeps your dash cam powered at all times. Similar to the 24-hour mode, it includes low battery protection, ensuring your vehicle battery remains healthy by cutting power if voltage falls below 12V.
The integrated timer in the adapter intelligently resets whenever motion is detected around your vehicle, an impact is sensed, a door is opened, or when the engine is running, ensuring continuous and relevant recording.
Intelligent Low Battery Protection
Worried about draining your car battery? The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable incorporates a smart low battery protection feature. If the adapter detects your vehicle’s battery voltage dropping below 12.0V, it will automatically shut down within 10 minutes. This crucial feature safeguards your battery from excessive discharge, ensuring you’re never stranded with a dead battery.

- Solid Red: Indicates the adapter is actively supplying power to your connected dash cam(s).
- Flashing Red: Signals that the set timer has expired and power is no longer being supplied.
