The Echomaster installation kit allows you to connect the camera to your OBD2 port for power instead of cutting into wiring to find power, and also allows the camera to switch between park and drive modes, all without having to modify your existing wiring. It plugs into your existing OBD2 port, and also provides another port so you can use vehicle diagnostics without unplugging the camera. You can install the camera without the kit, but you'll have to connect camera power directly to the fuse box, or cut into wiring, in order to power the camera. This kit is designed for a non- electric vehicle, so it may or may not work with an electric or hybrid vehicle. In my case, it did work on my 2018 Ford Fusion hybrid, but generally if you have an electric vehicle your results may vary with this kit.
