Hi how come my Adas features is not working everything is enabled?
What about the IGN-3F to the 10-Pin Molex connector located on the HWK-TW01-HAR, you just showed it and tuck it away without connecting?
You will plug the IGN-3 module into the harness.
Hi. On the ign-3 ignition module, which end is the correction for connection?
Plug One end led green is always on.
Other end led light is blinking/flashings.
What the purpose of the ignition module?
Thanks
The IGN3 uses data it obtains from the OBD2 connector to provide a switched power signal to the dash cam/ DVR.
I just ordered this for my Thinkware U1000. How does this work with a backup battery? I haven't ordered one yet just wondering where that would plug into?
This cable is not set up to directly plug into the backup battery, only the cameras.
Will the dealer void warranty or will they still be able to plug there scanner to view issues with the car? Thank you
The harness includes male and female connectors, so you'll still have access to an OBD scanner.
This will work for a Acura TSX 06
Hi
I’ve install the dash cam f800 pro with the hardwiring one cable. It works only in continuous mode. Any other mode like parking, motion censor etc it doesn’t work no matter what settings I choose . Did you have had any similar issues with that model?
Hello, we are sorry to hear your camera isn't working for you. We offer Tech Support M-F 9:00am - 6:00pm EST via Chat on cartecknow.com/, e-mail us @ support@cartecknow.com or give us call 727-346-6281.
You need to hardwire 2 cables for it to detect that it's in park.
Is this for ThinkWare units only? Will other brands works?
This cable was made specifically for the Thinkware cameras and has not been tested with other brands.
That's a prudent option.
Would this work on my old 99-05 Lexus IS200? If the dashcam is a premium one like thinkware I should be able to limit parking mode to a few hours via the cam, right? That way I won't empty my car battery.
You are in luck! the OBD2 connector has been standard in vehicles since 1996. So your 1999 - 2005 Lexus will have the required port to use this power connection harness. There are several settings that you can adjust using the app on a connected cell phone. These settings can limit the amount of recording that happens when the vehicle is parked. This dash cam should not empty your vehicle's battery. But rest assured there are adjustable settings. I like the smartphone app, it makes it easy to adjust settings anytime you are in the vehicle, without needing to connect a cable, or remove anything.
How do you order one of those OBD cables that you show on here?
This cable can be found on Amazon and Best Buy.
If you purchase this OBD-2,would you need to buy the battery pack so that it wont drain the battery and do all that crazy installation?
The Thinkware cameras do have a battery protection feature that you can turn on to prevent them from draining you battery.
Is there any possible harm to the car battery over time by using this?
Not at all. These dash cams pull very little power during parking surveillance mode. Even if you plan on leaving your vehicle in a location unused for an extended period of time, like an airport parking lot, there is no threat of draining or damaging the battery.
Will this work in one of those cars in which the fuses are never off?
This unit does require both a constant and an accessory power connection.
Will this work on the u1000?
Yes it will.
Does this shut off the power when battery is running low?
Yes, there is a battery protection setting that you can enable to ensure your vehicles battery will not be drained by the dash camera.
Will it turn off after a while when the vehicle isn’t in use
The camera will either shut off after the ignition turns off, or go into "parking mode" recording, depending on the options chosen for recording in the camera's menu.
Why doesn’t everyone just do this instead of hard wiring for parking mode? This is so much easier.
We agree. 😀
Awesome just one plug!!
Wait can you connect both rear and front camera with just one of these OBO-II kit?
Yep! The OBD2 plugs into the front camera and powers everything. The rear camera has only one wire that plugs into the front camera.
Can this OBD2 kit be used on these rear view dash cams:

This is not powering my thinkware u1000 camera. Why is it not working theres power to the ign box
Jon, I am sorry that this OBD-2 kit is now powering your dash camera. Please e-mail customer support, so we can resolve this for you asap. support@cartecknow.com
I buy it the OBD but I need my tracking number
Good morning,
You can reach our Customer Solutions Team at 727-803-0285 to get information about your order.
Why do I need this if I have constant power ?
This harness is intended to be a plug and play option so you can use Parking Mode. If you have the 12v plug in a constant 12 socket your camera is constantly recording and not using the specific Parking Mode feature.
@@cartecknow1817 so I need this for the system to sense parking mode. The obd plug ?
@@cartecknow1817 also I was going to purchase a Thinkware gps but you guy are asking a little more then Amazon or eBay, would you price match the gps? I’ll order the obd and gps from you guys
You will need either the OBD harness or the hardwire harness for the parking mode. We do not price match other sellers.
