The built-in Radar Sensor takes parking mode recording to the next level by providing smarter and more efficient surveillance.

Setting up the parking mode has never been easier with the free universal Thinkware OBD cable included in the package.

Smart Parking Mode

Designed to protect your vehicle and prevent heat-related damage. If the temperature inside your car rises too high during Parking mode, the dash cam will automatically switch to a low-power mode. It will only record incidents triggered by impacts until the temperature is safe to resume Motion Detection or Timelapse Parking mode. Don't worry about missing out - Thinkware’s Smart Parking Mode ensures your car is always protected while parked.

Notes

EXT Port: To connect an external GPS
Useful in cases where there is a heat reflective film or heated front windscreen that may screen the GPS signal from the camera)

BATT Port: For the iVOLT Xtra External Battery
It comes with a communication cable that plugs in to this port to allow the dash cam to verbally tell you about the battery's status

Thinkware Hardwiring Kit may be purchased separately if hardwiring is preferred. A Spliced Thinkware Hardwire Kit is required if you are connecting to a dash cam battery pack, which will be provided by default if purchased bundled with the U300, but will otherwise need to be purchased seperately. You can also choose the IROAD OBD cable, which is fully compatible.

The Thinkware OBD-II cable has been updated to a new version, which has been found to be compatible with nearly all vehicles (except Tesla). EVs, Hybrids, and standard Gas vehicles are all compatible with the Thinkware OBD cable.

Not worth the price

Lots of issues getting unit setup, front camera has a blue tint. Can't get it to live stream 99% if the time and the one time I was able to it had a 7 second delay. Had an incident and had trouble getting it off the camera. Cloud features I purchased this camera for are just not there. Maybe why it's free. Not a fan of the wiring placement , the large camera cord prevents it from mounting high and flush to mirror enclosure or roofline. Can't get a hold of support to resolve issues. Tempted to send it back but it is what it is for now.

Four Years and going strong.

After four years, both the forward and rear cameras have performed flawlessly. Connectivity and quality of video and audio are equal to first day of use. Haven't found a replacement for the money.
