Built-in Radar Parking Mode

The built-in Radar Sensor takes parking mode recording to the next level by providing smarter and more efficient surveillance. With minimal power consumption, the Radar sensor uses high-frequency radar to monitor motion around your vehicle, allowing for longer buffered parking surveillance. You'll have footage of events leading up to any incident, giving you peace of mind.

Setting up the parking mode has never been easier with the free universal Thinkware OBD cable included in the package.

Smart Parking Mode

Designed to protect your vehicle and prevent heat-related damage. If the temperature inside your car rises too high during Parking mode, the dash cam will automatically switch to a low-power mode. It will only record incidents triggered by impacts until the temperature is safe to resume Motion Detection or Timelapse Parking mode. Don't worry about missing out - Thinkware’s Smart Parking Mode ensures your car is always protected while parked.

Free Heat Blocking Film included for ultimate protection against direct sunlight.

Notes

EXT Port: To connect an external GPS (useful in cases where there is a heat reflective film or heated front windscreen that may screen the GPS signal from the camera)

BATT Port: For the iVolt Xtra (it comes with a communication cable that plugs in to this port to allow the dash cam to verbally tell you about the battery's status)

The Thinkware Hardwiring Kit may be purchased separately if hardwiring is preferred. A Spliced Thinkware Hardwire Kit is required if you are connecting to a dash cam battery pack, which will be provided by default if purchased bundled with the U300, but will otherwise need to be purchased seperately. You can also choose the IROAD OBD cable, which is fully compatible.

Thinkware OBD Compatibility

The Thinkware OBDII cable has been updated to a new version, which has been found to be compatible with nearly all vehicles (except Tesla). EVs, Hybrids, and standard Gas vehicles are all compatible with the Thinkware OBD cable.

Not worth the price

Lots of issues getting unit setup, front camera has a blue tint. Can't get it to live stream 99% if the time and the one time I was able to it had a 7 second delay. Had an incident and had trouble getting it off the camera. Cloud features I purchased this camera for are just not there. Maybe why it's free. Not a fan of the wiring placement , the large camera cord prevents it from mounting high and flush to mirror enclosure or roofline. Can't get a hold of support to resolve issues. Tempted to send it back but it is what it is for now.

Best that money can buy

This is the best dash cam out there that money can buy! Clear and high resolution. Easy to instal and set up! You wont be disappointed. Way better than Garmin

They made a simple task complicated

First of all, Fedex took their time to deliver as usual. It took them 3-4 extra days to deliver and no updates about what was going on. The camera is complicated with too many features that don't work well. Look at what Ring did with their car camera. Unfortunately, they discontinued but it did everything that it's supposed to do and it was simple. I would not recommend this camera.

Blackbox my car

I just purchased a thinkware U3000 for a truck I ordered. I was debating between Blackvue and Thinkware. I immediately went to Blackboxmycar without even looking around. I know the prices are the best and the customer service is second to none. This review is on the Blackboxmycar rather than the unit which I will do when installed.
There is ONLY one place to buy, professional, prices and most importantly customer service. If I could give 10 stars on the service I would.
Keep up the great work!

Love the OBD cable/parking-Mode & ability to stay cool.

Love the parking mode & OBD cable. A few years back I paid a few hundred, to have my BlackvueDR900X installed. It was installed but only comes on when my Truck is started. They couldn’t figure out on my 2021 Ram the parking mode feature. Wasted money on install. The U3000 is so simple & sits on my windshield, never gets too hot. My BlackVue is hot within minutes of being on. I love the tinted film provided too. My current setup has my U3000 on windshield & BlackVue DR900x around my rear view mirror.
