    Excellent quality, great price. Compared to the aftermarket offerings, this is far better quality. It's also a better price. Just get this from Best Buy, avoid the Amazon knock-offs.

    This harness eliminates that ugly, dangly connection to the cigarette lighter socket. Also enables parking mode video recording. Made all my connections to battery power, accessory power and ground in the overhead console of my 2013 Tahoe. No issues and looks great!

    I purchased a Thinkware F200d dash cam and then ordered this hardwire kit to use the built in parking mode. It was of high quality but I felt it was overpriced. That being said the parking protection worked perfectly once I installed the kit.

    Nice addition so you can hardwire the dash cam so you don't have to have e the cigarette/accessory power plug used. Cost is a. It ridiculous for what it is though. Only thing special about it is the plug to the unit, no special circuitry or boxes. Otherwise it's just a power wire, ignition power wire, and a ground.

    This is a must and makes parking peace of mind. I use this on both emu Thinkware 200F. Installation was easy on the internal fuse box. I did research and found YouTube tutorials that helped.

    You absolutely need this to hardwire Thinkware dash cams. Cable is long enough to mount the rear camera on my Subaru Outback.

    I bought this taking the risk it wouldn’t work on my Thinkware 220d. However, it turned out that it did work. Highly recommend it if you’re looking into having parking/motion detection enabled.

    If you buy any of the Thinkware Cams, this is worth cost. Much easier than using the included "cigarette lighter" plug. Makes everything work automatic.
