Azuga Pro Hardwire Aux Connector

At a glance

What it is

The shop says this part hardwires auxiliary devices to the SafetyCam Pro for stable power and data in permanent vehicle installs. No length, pin count or connector detail is listed. It was in stock at $80 on 2026-10-21.

What Azuga says about OEM installs

Azuga's auxiliary camera guide says that on an OEM install the splitter plugs directly into the diagnostic port, while on an OBD-II install it goes through a Y-cable. Azuga does not say in the shop text how the hardwire aux connector relates to that OEM wording. We read the two as likely connected, but that is our reading. Confirm it with Azuga before you commit a vehicle, because the wrong assumption means opening the dash twice.

Built for jobs that stay

A hardwired install is the one customers rarely touch again. That is where a hardwire aux connector makes sense: delivery fleets, work trucks and vehicles that stay with one driver for years. A good install on that kind of vehicle is routed once, secured well and never thought about again. The extra effort goes into the routing and the strain relief, because nobody will see it for a long time.

Mistakes that cost a second visit

• Wrong connector for the route. The OBD aux connector and this one cost the same. Check how the main camera is powered, then order.
• Ordering after the cab is closed up. Pull the full parts list for the vehicle first, including the aux cable lengths, then do one trip.
• Forgetting the main power cable. The aux connector does not replace the Pro hardwire cable, C-PRO-HW, which is a separate $25 part.
• No stock check. The Pro OBD cable showed sold out when we looked, so verify every part, not just this one.

How we approach the layout

1. Decide where each camera will sit and measure the path to the splitter.
2. Pick the cable lengths from those measurements, using the 5 m and 10 m extension cables only where needed.
3. Fit the main hardwire feed first and test the main camera on its own.
4. Add the aux cameras one at a time and check each channel appears before you add the next.
5. Secure every cable with ties and tape where it can chafe, and keep it away from heat and moving parts.

The one-at-a-time step is general good practice. Azuga does not say to do it that way, but it makes a fault much easier to find.

Where to go next

Questions we get

Does a hardwired Pro need this connector for aux cameras?

Azuga sells it as the hardwire aux part. Whether every hardwired aux install needs it, the shop does not say. Ask before you order.

Is there a price difference from the OBD version?

No. Both are listed at $80 in the shop on 2026-10-21.

Do I still need the extension cables?

Only if a camera sits farther from the splitter than its own cable reaches. Azuga sells 5 m and 10 m extensions.
