If your car qualifies, this is by far your best option. You can find adapters for this at Dongar Technologies. Rearview 12-volt power (better): Another option that features a super-short cable run is powering your dash cam using your auto-dimming rearview mirror.The only downside is a long cable run, as the OBD-II port is usually next to the driver’s left knee, under the dash. Most of those with captive cables I’ve seen are mini-USB. OBD-II-to-USB power cables are now available separately (as an alternative to hardwiring kits that draw constant 12-volt power from the wiring harness). I recommend one with a USB Type-A port, which will accommodate any dash cam. OBD-II 12-volt power (better): Outliers like the Owl and PureCam use the OBD-II connector for constant 12-volt power.This provides always-on power, but it isn’t particularly easy to install. Hard-wired 12-volt power (better): Most vendors offer kits that connect the dash cam directly to a constant 12-volt source in your wiring harness behind the dash.It can lead to an unsightly cable run, and the power disappears when you turn off the car, but it’s universal and easy.
