Are there any disadvantages to using the IROAD OBD-II power cable?Updated a month ago

The short answer is no! There are no large disadvantages to using the IROAD OBD-II power cable; it does not draw more power than a basic hardwire, and does not detract from parking mode itself. The IROAD OBD-II power cable is a great way to allow for a plug-and-play Thinkware or FineVu system, without losing those important parking mode features.

With that being said, there are some negative factors worth considering.

1. The OBD cable is more expensive than the hardwire cable.

2. The OBD cable is slightly thicker than the hardwire kit, making it slightly more difficult to install behind the interior trim of the vehicle. This is most important in European cars, which tend to be tight on space.

3. Sometimes there are vehicle incompatibilities with certain vehicle models. If this is a concern, feel free to contact our support team, who can check if there are known issues with your model.
