Anybody with Garmin Dashcam with OBD2 power connection?

Hey, guys, I’m possibly looking into getting a Garmin 57/67 dashcam and rather than hardwiring it Garmin offers an OBD2 plug to usb for power. Does anybody have it? It is for parking monitoring. I just want to make it’s not going to set off High Electric Discharge message or anything similar. Thank you!

PS Also, how’s your experience with the camera in general?

Or if you did install the parking cable, what fuses did you use to power it. Thank you again.

Thank you! I’ll probably use the Cellink. My other question is if my car has WiFi hotspot? I do have a premium package and through the phone I can open/close the car etc, so I assume it has the connection, but how do I find out if it has a hotspot? Thank you.

Run the vin decoder and check. Connected drive services has nothing to do with HotSpot service.
