THINKWARE TWA-SH Hardwiring Kit: Uninterrupted Parking Mode, Impact Detection, and Car Voltage Protection! Review

Low rating due to absurdly high price. Should be $10 max. It's a slap in the face that this wasn't included with the purchase of the camera or available at a reasonable price, especially considering it's a necessary part to enable the "parking mode" features. Thinkware even uses a fully proprietary camera connection, forcing you to buy one instead of hacking your own line. In fact, I'm so confident in it that I'm avoiding Thinkware at all for future dashcam purchases. I was able to install it…

I recently bought a Thinkware F800Pro and wanted to connect it to enable recording in parking mode. This accessory has a 3-pin connector: ground, battery and ACC (Senses Ignition).
