    Works great! Easy to install and it doesn’t take a lot of space around the other wires.

    Works great with my Thinkware camera system.

    I purchased this cable to use with the Thinkware car camera system that I also purchased at Best Buy. It works great for the intended use, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to use the camera system without any wiring into the vehicles fuse box. I have had Thinkware car cameras through the years, and they have always preformed great.

    Best option for dash cam

    This OBD cable is an amazing accessory for a dash cam installation. Best buy did a wonderful job on the install, I recommend them 10/10. It's awesome because I don't have to worry about my car's warranty being voided due to messing with the wires.
