I am lost (Cellink and Thinkware)

[tm2016]

I don't want to touch my vehicle's electricals. BMWs are stupid when it comes to electrical systems.

Given that, all I want is to charge my Cellink through ONLY my cigarette lighter (or inside the house if I don't get enough drive time; I am asusming ti takes 1.5 hours to reach a full charge?).

I want this Cellink to be connected to my Thinkware Q800Pro (Or SG X2Pro+), powering it when the car is parked for parking mode.

Is this possible? Kindly help me.

P.s. In all the videos I watched, and the posts I read, I have not found a straightforward answer for this.

Thank Jokiin, so how does the battery switch to powering the camera in Parking Mode? Like how does it work?

Say I stop driving the car, does the camera continue recording normally or does the camera switch to parking mode? I am trying to understand how does Cellink regulate the camera's switch from normal recording to parking mode recording.

the Cellink has 3 wire output which switches ACC off when the car is off

I am sorry Jokiin, I don't understand this. This 3 wire output is connected to the camera... how does this 3 wire output "switches ACC off"? My apologies for my ignorance here

when you're driving the Cellink is being charged so it sends power to the B+ and ACC outputs, when you turn the car off it stops being charged so it switches off the ACC output and just the B+ output is active so the camera changes modes accordingly

make sure to get the Cellink Neo, from memory the Cellink B doesn't support the 3 wire output
