Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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 :)

Bought this cable for the 66W and had it professionally installed at Best Buy. Although optional, this cable is a must if you want to record any movement while the vehicle is parked (off) for extended period.

Easy to install once I bought the correct fuse tap adapter. Allows the Garmin GPS to be installed without the wires hanging all over and powers when the car is off for the event monitoring.

Perfect for when my car is off and parked in an unsafe place. The cable allows my dash cam to record even thought my car isn’t on

Allows the camera to record parking videos. Pretty easy to install eith basic car audio install knowledge.

Geeksquad professionally installed the hardwiring kit. Parking mode is enabled once you have this installed.

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.

Straight forward install. Parking mode works great on my camera.

This part allows this to film when car is off without draining battery

This is a pretty pricey piece for a parking cable. It doesn't include a fuse adapter, so you'll need to run to an auto store for that. It also lacks usable instructions and any mounting hardware whatsoever. For it's cost, and considering that some cameras come with parking cables, I wonder if it's worth it. It works well, though.

Works as described. I did have to look up more thorough directions for installation because I don’t know anything about wiring; but it was really easy. Took me 15-20 mins

With this Garmin parking mode cable, it allow Garmin dash cam 45, 55, 65 to parking recording and protect the car battery from over-discharge. It came with a long wire therefore it EZ to hide away the wire to dash cam connection via car wind shield padding.

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.

This works best for the Garmin dash cam so that way it’s always on so we can catch people messing with my car

Paired with the garmin dash cam, works like a charm. Just tough to install, unless you work on car electrical systems, have this professionally installed

The garmin parking mode cable for my dash cam 45 works as expected, a little expensive just for a wire but satisfied me well as my dash cam parking mode works very well.

Purchased with Garmin Dash-cam 45 Makes it easy to just turn car and go with out Worries of plug into accessory plug. Installation was done within 15 min

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.
