Which WOLFBOX OBD Hardwire Kit Do I Need? The No-Fuss Aussie Guide

So, you've grabbed a WOLFBOX dash cam - top choice. If you want to catch the parking lot specials, you need to unlock Parking Mode. This guide breaks down which OBD-II hardwire kit suits your specific model and vehicle.

Why You Shouldn't Just Use the Cigarette Socket

  • Dangling Cables: It looks a bit ordinary.
  • No Power when Parked: Most Aussie cars cut power to that socket the moment you take the keys out.

The Solution: An OBD-II Hardwire kit. It plugs straight into your car's diagnostic port. 100% Plug and Play - no cutting wires and no risk to your factory warranty.

FAQ

Will using an OBD kit void my new car warranty?

Generally, no. You aren't cutting, splicing, or soldering any factory wiring looms - it's considered a non-invasive accessory.

How do I know if I need 3A or 4A?

Check the label on the camera. If you're running a 3-channel system (G900 Pro or TriPro), you'll need the 4A High-Power kit.
