Advice Needed: Dashcam Setup for Maruti Brezza ZXI+ (Smart Hybrid) – OBD2 Compatibility Issues

[prajwald]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to pick up a new Maruti Brezza ZXI+ (Smart Hybrid) and initially planned to get the REDTIGER F17 2026 Edition 4K 3-Channel Dash Cam with their OBD2 connector for hardwiring and parking mode.

However, I've run into compatibility issues:

1. REDTIGER's OBD2 connector isn't supported by the Brezza
2. I learned I need an OBD kit with ACC detection and manually adjustable voltage settings
3. vioFO OP100 OBD Kit was suggested by Got, but the product page says it doesn't support my setup either
   

What I'm looking for:

• ✅ 3-channel dashcam (front + dual + cabin)
• ✅ Sony Starvis 2 sensor for better night vision
• ✅ Parking mode enabled
• ✅ OBD2 hardwiring (preferably over fuse box approach)
• ❌ Want to avoid fuse box wiring for safety & warranty reasons
• ❌ Don't want to spend ₹10-15k on an extra battery pack

My use case:

• Primary: Bangalore city driving
• Occasional: Long road trips
  

My questions:

1. Does Maruti's Smart Hybrid (mild hybrid) allow OBD2 port usage for dashcams? I believe strong hybrids (like Grand Vitara/Hycross) block OBD2 for aftermarket accessories – is this the same for Maruti's SHVS mild hybrid?
2. What are Brezza owners (or any smart hybrid owners) doing for dashcam hardwiring with parking mode?
3. Any recommendations for OBD kits that work with Brezza ZXI+ and support ACC detection + voltage adjustment?
4. Alternative suggestions if OBD2 route isn't viable while still avoiding fuse box wiring and external battery packs?

Would really appreciate any insights from users who've dealt with similar setups. Thanks in advance!
