Parking mode cable for Garmin Dash Cam™ 45 and 55 cameras - Black

Not really much to say, it works with my Garmin 45 dashcam, it allows me to record things when I'm not in the car. My only suggestion for this is make sure you have a strong battery. This can easily become a battery drain, especially if you're like me and you don't drive all the time.

I hate having cords hanging down my dash. I recently received a dashcam and having the cord looped over the mirror down to the power port was annoying and a bit distracting. Not to mention hate having to plug and unplug the unit. So I bought the Garmin cable so I could hard wire it in. The wiring itself is about as simple as it gets. One lead to accessory power, one to constant power and one ground. That's it. Cable length was more than sufficient to run from the under dash fuse block, up the side pillar trim overhead to the camera mounted by the mirror in my suburban. Gives it a nice clean look and turns the unit on when I start the truck. Great accessory. Highly recommend this if you are not moving the unit between vehicles.

What can you say about a cable? It works fine. I wouldn't have the Garmin dash cam without it. Installation seems a bit complex but I had mine installed by Geek Squad for little cost. Well worth it.

I wasn’t going to get this when I decided on the Garmin 45. The installer strongly recommended it since I was wanting a hard wired installation. Glad I did. While it does trigger recording when there’s any movement in front of the car, it’s good to know there’s video coverage in front when not in the car. Also makes for a great installed look.

Got it for my Garmin dash cam. You kinda have to do your due diligence to install yourself. Tutorials online work well. Easily installs with the fuse box piggy back fuse holder. Hadto get that at an auto parts store as Bestbuy doesn’t stock them.

Got this for the Garmin 45 dash cam. Wire tucks away neatly under headliner and pillar, and I got a few fuse-taps from AutoZone to hook it up to the fuse box under the dash - it needs both permanent and ignition-switched 12V. I get to see what's going on in garage, while the car is parked :)

Just traded in my old car and bought a new cable for my new car. The last capable worked great. Every time I started my car I received a report on how many parking mode videos I received. Also not having a capable running all the way to the center console of my car really cleaned up the look of the cabin. My install is scheduled for 11/2 with the Geek Squad.

I wasn't sure I would like this feature because I feared the battery might run down. I have had the vehicle parked for a full week, and noticed no such problem. a Very nice Mod for a very capable Dashcam.
