A: Thank you for your question, and we’re sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having.

If there’s no power and it feels jammed, we recommend avoiding forcing it further to prevent any potential damage to the port or cable.

Q: does OBD adapter that properly breaks out ACC + constant
A: Hello, Great question. In most vehicles, the OBD port provides a constant power supply rather than a separate ACC line. This works well with the camera’s built-in parking mode, which allows the camera to remain off when the vehicle is parked and automatically record for a short period if an impact is detected. The system is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery, with an automatic low-voltage cutoff that activates at 11.6V. -The Nextbase Reviews Team
