Needs to be turned off when car is off

It stays on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not the best and then I have to turn the camera off when I'm done with it or the car battery runs out . 2 options are required: permanently on or off when the car is off. .

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • No

Simple plug and play.

Much easier to install than a hardwired kit. The only downside is that if you need the OBD port for something, it has to be disabled. The cable is long enough for a mid-size SUV (Subaru Ascent) and there is an adhesive pad on the block to keep it out of the way. If you have a small car, you may need to "fish" the cable under the dashboard, the device must not get past the pillar.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Great

Dead battery even when a new battery is installed

If you have read some of the previous comments you will realize that this will drain your car battery but presumably if you have a newer one it should be good . I just bought a new car battery for my Mazda and I still wake up in the morning with a dead battery. I even tried turning the camera off at night to see if that helps, but no, the battery still dies in the morning. I'm very disappointed because I got this Vantrue so I can shoot when my car is parked and turned off.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Safety

Best Way: Car Video

Telling consumers that the dashcam isn't fully functional IF you don't plug it into your car's fuse box is ridiculous for two reasons: the dashcam should work right away; Wiring to the fuse box isn't like installing a couple of AA batteries with a small screwdriver. The fact that DVR manufacturers know there is a connector that is just as easy to plug in and not use as a cigarette lighter is obscene. This OBD cable was just as easy to plug into the cigarette lighter. Get it if it works with…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of Style

Fragile, poor warranty support

My OBD cable only lasted about four months before it failed and stopped powering the camera (I was able to isolate the cable as a problem through testing). I contacted Vantrue for warranty support and they said they would ship a new cable (from China). It's been five and a half weeks and the replacement cable hasn't arrived. Vantrue continues to respond to my email inquiries with "it's coming" and "it's coming as expected" even though there has been no activity regarding the tracking number for

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable

Drains the battery if you don't start the car every day.

First I wrote to the support that the original fork is not working properly. I even wrote down everything I did to fix it. Then they told me to do what I just wrote them. Like they didn't even bother to read my email it was annoying. Then I ordered this OBD cable to solve the problem and use parking mode. It worked fine for the first few months, then the battery died. He would die from me, like every other month. If you use parking mode and don't start the car for 2 days, the battery will…

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Neat Cable Set for Vantrue DVR

We have 3 of these wired charging cables because we have 3 Vantrue N4 DVRs. I love these cable sets and they are useful as they allow our cameras to capture the events that happened after we got out of the car. I will say that this may drain your battery a bit. It is therefore important that you have a good battery in your car. It will turn off when the battery voltage in your car is low, so you don't have to worry about your battery running out. dead if your car sits for two weeks. One of our…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
