I won't recommend anyone under warranty and still concern of vehicle warranty to do any OBD or fusekit hardwire anyway unless it is done under the car manufacturer service center under manufacturer warranty.
I am actually also concerned initially on using OBD for my older car's Z50 dashcam. I read most reputable dashcam OBD uses PIN 16 with PIN 4 and 5 for grounding only. They usually don't touch/connect the other pins. PIN 16 to battery should have a fuse. It is not likely to damage ECU. Although many ppl say can damage, is there any record of DDPAI dashcam or any other dashcam that actually blowout the fuse and ECU? I can't find any record on that except for warning that it might but some expert say if the PIN usage are above, it won't. So many conflicting view.
Since mine is an older car with no warranty issue, I tried DDPAI Z50 with its OBD plug. The OBD seems to have some extra safety features on it tho none mention protecting the OBD short. I doubt any will mention that. Heard many tho have used OBD ports without issue, also the accs shop owner installed so many liao...so I just take the plunge. So far so good. Battery power monitored with the OBD plugs to avoid dead battery.
However for my new car, I just take the super expensive manufacturer fuse hardwire but with inferior quality vs 3rd party dashcam for parking mode peace of mind and to maintain warranty. That dashcam have no arrive yet, so I see if they have setting like DDPAI, to use parking mode for collision recording only for minimal power drain. Also see if they have battery power monitoring. I myself not sure if not using OBD plug, can still monitor battery voltage?
Actually I am intending to install DDPAI or 70Mai obd dashcam for my other 2 old cars (got experience crash on on my newer one that comes with dashcam), no need argue who right and wrong, show dashcam video, straight we right), so I suddenly realized the importance of dashcam as insurance for proof.
Now the OBD concern was raised again, I am in doubt again, if want parking mode collision recording (years ago, one car got bang while parking overnight, cialat, don't know which drunk driver did that, that time dashcam not available yet). So should I get the OBD as it has worked well with battery voltage monitoring and auto-disconnect power or should I revert back to fuse hardwire.
After reading up more, for old cars, OBD no problem but I would not risk it for the newer car (even after warranty) until I know for sure the OBD did not use PINS other than PIN16, 4 and 6 (power and grounding).
I agreed. I don't think messing with fusebox is advisable when car still under warranty. From most of the service centre I knew, they will not recommend using fusebox power for dash cam as they claimed if there is any issue, there is a high chances the principal (in this case the car brand itself) will reject the claim.
