Parking mode is a game changer
Wired this into my fuse box over the weekend and the parking detection works perfectly. Dashcam wakes up when someone bumps my car in the parking garage. Clean install with zero visible cables.

Great kit, take your time
Everything you need is in the box including fuses and taps. Found a good ignition-switched circuit using a multimeter and the whole thing took about an hour. Would recommend to anyone comfortable with basic wiring.

Professional result on a budget
I paid a shop $80 to hardwire my last dashcam. This time I did it myself with this kit and it took 45 minutes. The instructions clearly explain constant vs switched power, and the parking detection threshold seems well calibrated. My SC 200 has been running flawlessly for six weeks now, including a two-week vacation where parking mode caught a shopping cart ding.

Works but wiring took a while
The kit itself is solid and the USB output is reliable. My fuse box is in a terrible location under the dash, so the install was more work than expected. That's on the car, not Cobra. Once in, no issues at all.

Parking detection too sensitive
Drained my battery twice because parking mode kept triggering on passing headlights. Had to disable the feature and just use it as a basic hardwire. Fine for that purpose, but not what I bought it for.

My son installed it for me
My son did the wiring while I held the flashlight, and even he said the kit was well thought out. Everything needed is included and the fuse taps fit properly. Been three months with zero problems.

Reliable constant power
Been using this with my RAD 490i for about four months. Powers up instantly, no battery drain issues, and parking detection gives me peace of mind at work. Only wish the cable were a foot longer for my truck cab.

Saved my insurance claim
Someone backed into my parked car and the parking mode footage caught the whole thing, license plate and all. This $15 kit literally paid for itself a hundred times over. Install was straightforward if you're patient.

Good value DIY hardwire
Does exactly what it says. The bypass and parking detection both function correctly, and build quality feels better than the generic kits on Amazon. Docking one star because the included zip ties were pretty flimsy.
