What it is

This is the OBD power cable for the SafetyCam Plus. The shop describes it as plug and play: it connects to the vehicle OBDII port and powers the camera without hardwiring. That is the whole product description. It lists no cable length, so measure the route from the port to the mirror before you assume it reaches.

How the OBD route is built

Azuga's OBD-II install guide for the Plus and Pro uses a Y-cable. The Y-cable plugs into the diagnostic port. One female end goes to the OBD-II tracker, and the other goes to the SafetyCam power cable. Azuga says to do it with the vehicle off. So this cable is one piece of a chain, not a stand-alone plug.

A part we could not find in the shop

We did not see the OBD Y-cable itself in the shop listing we reviewed on 2026-10-21. Azuga's guides refer to it, so it may ship in a kit. Ask Azuga before you promise a customer a one-cable install.

What the vehicle needs first

  • An Azuga OBD tracker already on the vehicle. The Y-cable has a second leg for it. A vehicle with no Azuga tracker is a candidate for the hardwire cable instead.
  • A port you can reach. If the port is behind a panel, the install gets harder and the cable can get pulled.
  • A 4G LTE tracker. Azuga says in its AI SafetyCam guide that an OBD device must be 4G LTE to pair with a camera, and that product codes starting DCM970 are compatible. We have not seen the same line in the Plus guide, so we treat it as likely but not verified for the Plus. Ask Azuga about older 3G units.

The Plus steps after power

  1. Check the serial. It must start with J for a Plus.
  2. Power up and wait about a minute for the update prompts. Do not unplug it. Then unplug and plug back in before mounting.
  3. Tie the camera to the vehicle in the portal.
  4. Aim both lenses with live view, and only then mount.
  5. Tighten the Plus hex screw and fit the SD and SIM cover.

Where it falls short

A plug-in feed is easy to pull out. On a shared vehicle or a vehicle that gets serviced often, someone will unplug it, and the camera will stop. A hardwire cable is slower to fit but nobody undoes it by accident. Weigh that against the faster install. Both cables cost the same in the shop, so the choice is about the vehicle and the people who use it.

Where to go next

Questions we get

Do I need the Y-cable as well?

Azuga's guide says the Y-cable is part of the OBD route. It was not in the shop listing we reviewed, so ask Azuga whether it comes with the camera or the tracker.

What if the vehicle has no OBD tracker?

Then there is nothing for the Y-cable second leg. Azuga does not say a Plus can power from the port alone. Use the hardwire cable, or ask Azuga about options.

Is this the right cable for a Pro?

Not as far as we can tell. The shop lists a separate OBD cable for the Pro, and it showed sold out when we checked.
