Wolfbox G900TriPro install

any reason you ran power to odb port vs. tapping into the power already up there with a harness like this? does it require too much power?

Any chance you post pics of the rubber pass through above the pedals and the v-shape in the bumper area?
I installed my WolfBox much like yours, the only thing remaining is the front bumper camera.

I'd love your thoughts on this.
I can't find an angle where I can use the G900 as a mirror (screen off) because the arms limited range and the cables sticking up into the plastic.
I also found the antiglare film to make the mirror function (screen off) useless.

My understanding that is switched power which remains hot for only 10 minutes after shutting down the vehicle. That's a great solution for an auto-dimming mirror and or a basic dash cam.

By powering through the OBD port (or hardwiring to the fuse block), you get power all the time enabling the parking monitor features of the dash cam.

Worth noting that both the OBD and hardwire kits sold by Wolfbox have adjustable protection that stop drawing power once the 12V battery drops below a preset voltage.

I also grabbed power using the WolfBox Adapter for the OBD II Port when I installed my WolfBox G900 TriPro works great

Yep, I can say this is true, my camera powers down after 10 minutes. I don't care about the parking features of my camera so that's fine for me. I live in the sticks and rarely am in a big city so it isn't an issue.

Your reason for using ODB makes sense if you need that capability. I have a bluetooth ODB reader in my port connected to an app on my phone so it really isn't an option for me anyway.

Thanks for the explanation!

I don’t understand how this cam can connect to CarPlay and to the dash cam at the same time. Seems like all the others require an LTE dongle and a $10 per month connection?
