I show you how to make your own VIOFO OBD2 cable
I was trying to solidify that information. It was quite a pain in the ass to find that out which surprised me. Seeing OBD2 is supposed to be a standardRight on Ben,
Excellent work.
You lost me at 4:43 in the video.
When the car is shut off shouldn’t the camera instantly switch into parking mode since you hooked up all three wires from the Viofo Hardware Kit, (Battery Power, ACC Power, Ground)?
1.) Will this work on cars 1995, and older?
2.) Will this work on cars 1996-2007?
3.) Will this work on cars 2008, and newer?
The OBD stays active until it has finished with cleaning up the emissions to comply with regulations, takes around 4 minutes, probably depending on the vehicle. This connector isn't clever enough to tell if the engine is running or not, just if it is active or not.When the car is shut off shouldn’t the camera instantly switch into parking mode since you hooked up all three wires from the Viofo Hardware Kit, (Battery Power, ACC Power, Ground)?
It is going to depend on country and type of engine, diesel engine regulations changed at different times to petroleum.1.) Will this work on cars 1995, and older?

The info in my post about the IROAD OBD-II power adapter might be helpful. The IROAD OBD-II power adapter uses a motion (or should I say motionless) based strategy to turn off the accessory power. See the "Parking Mode Conditions" in my list.Right on Ben,
Excellent work.

Very informative video thank you for thisI show you how to make your own VIOFO OBD2 cable
In the history of DCT this is the most false & misleading thing you have ever typed.
There's another one in the making now with his AV1 Codec thread he started LoLYou've only been here for a little over a year now. Those of us who have been here for about a decade or so know that your statement doesn't quite capture the real truth of the matter. There have been some real doozies.
Hooray!We are working on the OBD cable now, it can be released before 2024.
It provides battery/alternator voltage.How much charging voltage and current can OBD provide to the battery pack?
It monitors the voltage.Hooray!
How will it trigger parking mode?
Will it monitor CAN BUS activity, or system voltage?
I have a 2004 car (non-CAN BUS).
And a 2010 car (with CAN BUS) for testing.
Whatever happen to the prototype Hardwire Kit with a selection to disable Low Voltage Cut Off for use with dash cam battery packs?
I love the convenience of OBD, very much looking forward to thisIt monitors the voltage.
We made a sample that disabled the low-voltage protection, forgot to send it to you.
Do you mean the Voltage on PIN 16?It monitors the voltage.
I've been looking forward to testing that so see how long it will extend parking mode operation.We made a sample that disabled the low-voltage protection, forgot to send it to you.
If it bases its decision on when to turn on/off the dash camera accessory power by vehicle's system voltage alone, that could be a problem for many cars that have the ECM/PCM control the alternator voltage output voltage level based on the amount of load on the system and the charge level of the battery. My dash camera test vehicle (2014 Chevrolet Caprice), can have its system voltage level all the way down to 12.4 volts while driving based on the charge level of the battery and the load on the system.It monitors the voltage.
I tested the Thinkware OBD-II cable with the U3000. It would exit parking mode and return to continuous recording mode when I would open my car's trunk lid or latch/unlatch any of the car's doors. I created a video of my testing the Thinkware OBD-II TOC-300 power cable while I monitor car's CANBUS activity. I suspect the TOC-300 is detecting some CANBUS or other activity via the connection to the OBD-II data link connector and that's why your Q1000 is exiting and re-entering parking mode while parked.rcg530.......Im just reading your testing using the Iroad OBD cable for Thinkware. Fantastic reading. I just installed a TW Q1000 to my '23 Audi S5 using the TW OBD power cable and notice an anomaly. My car will be parked in the garage overnight and the cam should be totally shut off. Then I receive a notice from TW Connected app saying my car is in "Driving Status" then in a minute it is in "Parking mode." This is happening w/o turning the car on and no one in the car. I suspect the car is activating something that turns the camera on. Sure enough, I look thru the windows w/o opening a door and some lights on the camera are ON. Since the TW OBD cable has pins that appear to connect to the Canbus, this must be the reason my cam turns on. Have you heard of this happening? Will this Iroad cable be a better alternative since there are only 2 pins in it? TIA.
