Can I use the Power Magic Pro (PMP) with X series cameras that have built-in battery protection?Updated 2 hours ago

If you are upgrading from the S-series or DR750X LTE/LTE Plus to an X-series model with built-in battery protection, and you already have the BlackVue Power Magic Pro (PMP) installed, you can actually keep using it. All you need to do is swap out the old cigarette lighter adapter cable with the one included with your new dash cam.

Hardwiring Kit vs. Power Magic Pro - which is better?

It depends on how often you want to use parking mode recording.

While both give your dash cam access to your car battery for power once the ignition is off, the PMP actually offers you the added convenience of being able to toggle parking mode on or off via the ON/OFF switch, rather than having to do it in the app.

This feature comes in handy if, say, you want to turn off Parking Mode recording when you’re parking in your home garage, but have it on when you’re parking anywhere else. The ON/OFF switch doesn’t impact your dash cam’s recording capabilities when the car is running - only when the ignition is off.
