The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the cost. The cable itself works great. It also has a car battery saving function. You have to unscrew the device to change the voltage it cuts off at but it does work.

Local best buy couldn't find the cable to begin with, and then it suddenly appeared. Get it home, and open the box. The cable had obviously been installed previously - it still had a crimp on it. Tried to install it, and the cable didn't work. Had it professionally installed, still didn't work. Was told Best Buy would check to make sure it worked before they sold it used, but obviously they didn't...

The instructions are so bad it may as well not come with any. It appears that they intend for this to be professionally installed.

Garmin® strongly recommends having an experienced installer with the proper knowledge of electrical systems install the device. Incorrectly wiring the power cable can result in damage to the vehicle or the battery and can cause bodily injury. This link takes you to the installation instructions: https://bit.ly/2xf49Ka

Just realized my garmin dash cam picks when it will be recording. After getting into an accident I realized its a bad product.

The Garmin Dash Cam will immediately begin recording video when it is turned on. It will continue to record, overwriting the oldest non-protected videos, until the device is turned off. While recording, the LED near the screen on the device will remain a solid red even if the display has dimmed.

When you turn off your vehicle, the camera enters parked recording mode and automatically records video each time the camera sensor detects motion.
