Q: I have a Ring Doorbell subscription. Is the Ring Car Cam also covered by the same subscription?
A: Hi Junpogi. Good question. No, your Ring Protect Pro subscription covers Ring alarms and home security cameras in your home. To get coverage for Car Cam, you’ll need to subscribe to Ring Protect Go separately. A Protect Go subscription costs $6 per month (or $60 per year) for each Ring Car Cam. You can try a 30-day trial of Protect Go when you set up a new Ring Car Cam in the Ring app. You won’t be charged for your subscription until your trial is over. At this time, Protect Go and Car Cam are only available for customers in the United States.

A: Hi Satellite60. Good question. The Ring Car Cam plugs into your vehicle’s OBD-II port. For safety, only use Car Cam in vehicles where the OBD-II port is on the left side of the steering wheel. The Ring Car Cam is not compatible with OBD-II splitters or pass-throughs. Even if your OBD-II sensor is in a compatible location, there may be other reasons the Ring Car Cam is not compatible with your vehicle. Our support center provides a list of cars that are not compatible with Ring Car Cam and cannot be used with the product.

Q: How much heat can this withstand? Cars get very hot while parked

Q: What if I have a fuel manager already pluged into port? Can I hook it up to anything else?
A: Hi AnthonyS82. Thank you for asking. No, the Car Cam cannot be powered using an alternate power source. The Ring Car Cam is powered by connecting to your car’s OBD-II port. Most vehicles built and sold in the U.S. after January 1, 1996, were required to be OBD-II equipped.
