Cobra 0010070-1 Easy Hardwire Kit, OBD-II to USB-C constant power for Cobra SC dash cams

Overview

An OBD-II power kit that gives a Cobra RAD 490i radar detector or SC-series dash cam constant power and a professional-looking install. It plugs into the vehicle's OBDII diagnostic port and includes a bypass, so the port stays usable for diagnostics. With an SC-series dash cam it enables parking mode, cuts monitoring when low voltage is detected and supports a software auto-shutoff limit. Cobra says it fits most vehicles and publishes a compatibility list.
