How to enable parking mode?
The first step to enable parking mode is to turn it on in the camera’s settings. In the ignition-off state, it's vital to consider the power supply method to activate parking mode.
With Hardwire Kit
A hardwire kit is widely used to enable parking mode. It provides a direct connection between the dash cam and the vehicle’s electrical system. Once the ignition is switched off, a hardwire kit delivers continuous power to the dash cam directly from the vehicle’s battery through the fuse box. It features ACC detection that monitors ignition status, enabling the dash cam to automatically switch to parking mode.
With OBD Constant Power Cable
An OBD constant power cable provides an easy and convenient method to enable parking mode. By simply plugging it into the vehicle's OBD-ll port, it offers constant power to the dash cam after the engine is off. When the OBD constant power cable is connected to VIOFO’s specific cable with ACC detection, the dash cam will immediately enter parking mode as soon as the ignition is off. *If using a power cable without ACC detection, the dash cam will keep normal recording.
