YANBORONSN OBD Power Cable 3.5m

The essentials

This robust OBD power cable from YANBORONSN is designed to supply reliable power for dash cameras via the vehicle’s OBD2 port. With a 3.5 metre length, it strips away the need to plug into ignition sockets, simplifying installation while keeping wiring neat. The cable supports two operating modes for continuous recording and parking surveillance, providing a stable power source that helps ensure 24 hour monitoring without draining the car battery. Built to handle voltages from 12.8 to 36 volts, it delivers a steady 5V at up to 3A, with intelligent protections that respond to changing battery levels. For everyday use, this means you can rely on your dash cam to capture footage around the clock, even when the engine is off, while maintaining key electrical safeguards. 🚗🔋

Technical details

The YANBORONSN OBD power cable is an active, plug-and-play solution that connects directly to the OBD2 port. It does not interfere with other OBD data communications and keeps original car circuitry intact. The built-in MCU smart controller detects car battery voltage and engages low voltage protection if the battery drops to 11.6V, automatically cutting power to protect the battery and ensure the car starts on the next trip. The device accepts an input range of 12.8–36V and provides a 5V/3A output, suitable for standard dash cameras and similar peripherals. The switch button allows quick toggling between on-board power for continuous operation and a dedicated parking/24-hour mode, giving flexibility in how footage is captured. This versatility makes it a practical choice for drivers who value constant surveillance without constant manual adjustments. 🛠️

Usage tips

Fitment is straightforward for most vehicles with an OBD2 port, and installation remains non intrusive. When using the ACC mode, the cable powers the device while the car is running, whereas the parking mode ensures power during stationary periods for extended monitoring. Keep in mind that the low voltage protection may shut off power if the battery is deeply discharged, helping to preserve vehicle start capability. The cable’s 3.5 metre length provides flexibility to position the dash cam or other devices for optimal camera angles and cable routing. For best results, route away from high heat areas and sharp edges, and verify that the OBD2 port is not otherwise occupied by essential vehicle systems. As with any electrical accessory, consult the dash cam manufacturer’s installation guidance and ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s electrical system. 😊
