Ensure your vehicle is always protected with the Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable, the essential accessory for uninterrupted surveillance. This simple, plug-and-play solution seamlessly connects to your vehicle’s OBD-II diagnostic port, providing continuous power to your Garmin dash cam, even when your engine is switched off. Enjoy true peace of mind knowing your car is monitored around the clock.
Dual Dashcam Support for Comprehensive Coverage
Maximize your vehicle’s security by connecting not one, but two Garmin dash cams to this powerful cable. Featuring dual USB ports, the Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable allows for simultaneous operation of two devices. Imagine the enhanced protection of a Garmin Dash Cam 57 capturing events at your front windshield and a Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 monitoring the rear – providing complete front and rear video coverage for unparalleled security.
Intelligent Power Management with Adjustable Time Switch
The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable is engineered with a smart, adjustable time switch, offering three distinct power modes to suit your specific needs and preferences:
- 10 Minute Mode: Ideal for short stops, this mode keeps your dash cam powered for 10 minutes after you turn off your engine. Perfect for capturing any incidents immediately after parking. The camera then automatically powers down, ready to reactivate when you next start your vehicle.
- 24 Hour Mode: For extended surveillance, select the 24-hour mode. Your Garmin dash cam will remain operational for a full 24 hours after parking. Crucially, the cable includes integrated low battery detection, which intelligently shuts down the camera if your vehicle’s battery voltage drops below 12V. This vital feature prevents battery drain, ensuring you won’t return to a dead car battery.
- Always On Mode: For continuous, uninterrupted recording, choose the Always On mode. Your dash cam will stay powered indefinitely, providing constant monitoring. However, the intelligent low battery protection remains active, safeguarding your vehicle’s battery by cutting power if the voltage falls to or below 12V. The system automatically restarts the dash cam once the engine is running again.
Furthermore, the built-in timer dynamically resets whenever motion is detected outside the vehicle, upon impact, when a car door is opened, or when the engine is running. This ensures that important events are always captured, and power is intelligently managed.
Advanced Low Battery Protection for Vehicle Safeguard
Protecting your vehicle’s battery is paramount. The Garmin OBD2 Constant Power Cable incorporates advanced low battery protection. If the cable detects that your battery voltage drops below 12.0V, it will automatically shut down power within 10 minutes. This critical safety feature prevents excessive battery drain, ensuring your vehicle is always ready to start.
Clear Status Indication with Red LED
The integrated red status LED provides clear, at-a-glance information about the OBD cable’s operational status:
- Solid Red: Indicates that the cable is actively supplying power to your connected Garmin devices.
- Flashing Red: Signals that the set timer has expired, and the cable is no longer providing power.
- Off: Indicates that the cable is receiving less than 12V of power. The low battery protection has activated, turning off the device to conserve your vehicle’s battery.

- 6 Series
