Frequently Asked Questions
How to install the Cobra OBD2 hardwire kit for dash cam parking mode?
Locate your vehicle's OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard). Plug the kit into the port, route the cable to your dashcam, and connect the micro-USB. The dashcam will receive constant power, enabling parking mode. No stripping wires required.
Does the Cobra easy hardwire kit drain my car battery?
Most Cobra dashcams have low-voltage cutoff or parking mode that turns off when battery voltage drops. The kit draws minimal power. However, if you park for extended periods, monitor battery voltage. Some users report it's safe for overnight parking, but for days, consider a battery pack.
Which Cobra dash cams support the OBDII hardwire kit?
Why won't my Cobra dash cam wake up from parking mode after hardwire installation?
Ensure the ignition is off and the dashcam is set to parking mode in settings. Check that the kit is securely connected. The dashcam may need motion detection to trigger. Try tapping the camera to wake it. If issues persist, consult the manual.

Great for parking mode
Easy to install and works perfectly with my dashcam. I used it to enable parking mode and it's been running for months without draining my car battery. Worth every penny.

Works as advertised
Installation was straightforward. I had to tuck the cable under the trim, but it's neat. The OBD-II connection is solid. The only downside is the cable is a bit short for my SUV, but I managed.

Perfect fit for my Cobra dashcam
Just what I needed. Plug and play, no wiring mess. My dashcam turns on when I start the car and switches to parking mode when I stop. Excellent.

Good quality, but a bit pricey
Bought this on sale, so it's fine. The cable feels sturdy and the connector is solid. It does exactly what it's supposed to. I wish it came with more cable length, but it's okay.

Works, but installation was tricky
The kit works fine, but the micro-USB plug is a bit loose on my dashcam. I had to secure it with tape to keep it connected. Also, the cable is thin and needed careful routing. A bit fiddly.

No issues at all
Installed this in my truck in about 15 minutes. It's been solid for two weeks now. The parking mode works great. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn't want to hardwire.

Good for the money
It's a simple device that does its job. I appreciate that it doesn't require any complex wiring. The only thing is the cable length is a bit short for my large SUV, but it's manageable. Overall, happy.
