Nextbase OBD Power Cable | NBDVRS2OBD
A five-metre OBD power lead for compatible Nextbase dash cams, with permanent power and a status LED.
The Nextbase OBD Power Cable is a plug-and-play five-metre power lead for compatible Nextbase dash cams. It connects to a vehicle’s OBD port, giving the camera a permanent power supply without occupying the 12V accessory socket or requiring fuse taps. A 90° OBD connector helps with placement in the vehicle, while an LED indicator shows when power is available and the dash cam is connected.
Because the OBD port provides a permanent supply, a compatible dash cam can retain access to power when the vehicle is parked, supporting functions that need power after the ignition is off. The cable includes a 5V Mini USB power lead and ferrite core and works with a long list of Nextbase cameras, including 622GW, 522GW, 422GW, 322GW, 222 and 122. The supplier SKU differs from Nextbase’s canonical model number, so the public identifier should be NBDVRS2OBD while retaining the supplier SKU unchanged.
Plug-and-play OBD connection
Ideal For
Key Features
Fixed power without opening the fuse box
The OBD cable is the simpler alternative to a fuse-tap hardwire kit where the vehicle has a compatible OBD socket. It also keeps the 12V accessory outlet available for other equipment.
Designed around supported Nextbase cameras
The Mini USB power lead and compatibility list target many Series 2 and earlier Nextbase models. The exact camera and vehicle OBD availability should be confirmed before installation.
How It Compares
Compared with the Series 2 Hardwire Kit, this cable uses the OBD port rather than the vehicle fuse box. Both provide a fixed power route, but the OBD cable is plug-and-play while the hardwire kit provides fuse-tap components for a concealed fuse-box installation.
The Verdict
Strengths
- Plug-and-play OBD connection
- Permanent power without using the 12V socket
- LED indicator and broad Nextbase compatibility
Considerations
- Requires a compatible vehicle OBD port
