I bought this because I did not want to hardwire my U1000 into my newly purchased 2021 Toyota Sienna. It’s been great and installs fairly quickly!

I ordered the Thinkware U1000 and the iVolt Battery. I found the installation of the front and rear cameras a straightforward process. The challenge came in trying to tap into my minivan’s power supply. Sadly the fuse connectors do not work in my Kia, and there is no accessory fuse to utilize with a minimum of 15A. Instead, we planned to use the cigarette lighter socket. Unfortunately, the charging cable for the cigarette lighter socket was not included in the box. I reached out to Thinkware support, and they were incredibly gracious and will be supplying me with the needed hardware to complete the installation.

Great addition to keep the camera from running your battery to the point of the car not starting. A must have if you park in alot of busy areas, for long durations.

Great addition to my dash cam. I have to leave my truck in some sketchy places for work and love that it now records all day for me in the event that something happens. Installation is a super quick and easy as well in an F150, and everything needed to install is included. Only thing I am changing with it is industrial Velcro since the adhesive doesn’t hold in the heat here down south. Overall would recommend!
