U3000 Pro voltage settings for hybrid help

[FattiesGoneWild]

I've reached out to Thinkware via my "tester" support person and asked Thinkware support to review your configuration and to provide info to help clarify this situation. He stated that I would get some info on the voltage level strategies used by the TOCK-100 OBD-II power adapter when you select "EV" and when you select "F".

Unfortunately, the question of what OBD-II voltage strategy is the correct one for the vehicle's low voltage system is not as simple as asking whether it's a hybrid/EV or fuel [gas/diesel] powered drive system. The high voltage system will, in some manner, be responsible for maintaining the charge state of the low voltage battery [if present - most of the time there is low voltage battery]. The low voltage battery type is what needs to be identified since that will directly govern the voltage levels present in the low voltage system. If the low voltage battery is a lead-acid battery or AGM battery, the voltage levels will be just like an older gas/diesel powered vehicle. If there's a lithium low voltage battery, the voltage levels may operate a level above the typical lead-acid/AGM battery type.

When I get more info from Thinkware, I'll let you know.

Thank you! I even reached out to SafeDriveSoutions on Reddit via chat. This is what they had to say.

Hello.

The settings in the app has nothing to do with the cmaera going into parking mode while driving/engine turning on and off.

The voltage setting inside the app is strictly to tell the unit when to turn off.

If the EV setting does not work for you? switch it to gas while its unplugged.

The switch just tells the circuits inside that obd2 plug to look for different voltages.

In your crown I doubt the gas setting will work either. We have not had it work consistently on lexus/Toyota, which is why we hardwire all of them

Getting a direct answer from Thinkware as well has me eagerly awaiting what they have to say! 👍

Any update? Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t forgotten. 👍 Thanks!

I'm still waiting for Thinkware to respond with the additional info on the voltage levels/thresholds for the OBD-II power adapter.

Sounds good, hopefully soon. 👍
