Hello Team,
Long time no see.
Just had an idea, and wanted to see if it’s possible.
All previous OBD2 Power Cables, (Thinkware, IROAD, VIOFO, Vantrue, 70mai, etc) all work off a combination of monitoring “system voltage” on PIN 16, and a timer, and maybe even a motion sensor.
Example:
Above 13.6V = Engine Running = Driving / Normal Mode
Below 12.6V = Engine Off = Parking Mode
This is because there is no PIN in the DLC (diagnostic link connector) that provides a traditional ACC / IGNITION signal to command Parking Mode & Driving Mode.
Here is my question / idea.
PIN 6 CAN BUS HIGH
PIN 14 CAN BUS LOW
Should have minimal to no activity engine off.
And should be very active engine running.
Would it be possible to use PIN 6 & PIN 14 as the “ACC / IGNITION” signal to enable / disable parking mode.
Of course this would require some type of programmed logic into the OBD2 Power Cable unit to interpret LOW & HIGH activity.
And of course this would only work on vehicles 2008, and newer.
1996 - 2007 vehicles do not have CAN BUS.
But 2008, and newer vehicles are the majority on the road.
