Nope. I can even get a device for free if I do a 2 year contract. And they would wave the $20 activation fee.
That is incorrect, the DC to DC connector rejuvenates the 12V battery all the time. So batteries won't be an issue, mine has been running no stop since May

Would you mind telling me where you purchased this OBD with the 90 degree turn. I agree the 90 degree has a cleaner look to it. I have seen a couple on Amazon with mini usb connection. I can see from your photo the did not use most of the wires but how do you know which wires are the correct wires to connect for power and ground?
I agree that the cleaner the install and more hidden things are the better it looks. We all strive to make our DIY installs look "professional". Honestly, the 90 degree connector is not necessary. The port/plug is hidden deep in the foot well. I can't see it nor does it hit my legs when driving. You literally have to get down on all fours and stick your head below the steering wheel to see it. I guess if you have someone's head down there regularly, you might want the adapter. Also, that sounds awesome!
Again, it probably won't hurt, but IMHO, totally unnecessary step and purchase.

Johnny finished my install. So super clean. Loving it. I think he may make another trip to the east coast some time for those who might be interested.

@azdryheat i talked to Johnny and trying to get him to the valley in late October/early November to install on my X. Let me know if you are interested, or where you end up getting the installed done

I got it off of ebay. It cost about $8. I took the cable, cut it and used a volt meter to find which wires were the ground and the power. Google the schematics of a the OBD connector. Here's a link:
obd2 pinout - Google Search
Pin 16 is constant 12v and pin 4 is ground. I then spliced that to a cigarette female adapter and used that to connect the car to the BlackVue.
Here's a link to what I bought: OBD2 16 Pin Male to Female Diagnostic Extender Cable Extension Connector C5U5
Apparently installing the additional USB ports (for the hotspot) in the center counsel is a bad idea, I had Johnny merely fish the lines (without even removing the center counsel) to run the wires near the current 12V outlet and it apparently damaged the air flow to the passenger vent on the B pillar. So I gotta pay Tesla to fix it.
I will keep you posted.
So use the 12V outlet in the trunk instead for your hotspot as it is always on.

Just saw this tamper proof case available from blackvue: Tamper-Proof Case - BlackVue
While it may prevent the SC from disconnecting your dashcam during service, my main concern would be having the dashcam stolen during a smash n grab??

Tesla technicians at the service center unplugged all my cameras when I brought my car in for service a couple of months ago. Wondering if they would refuse service if the cameras could not be disabled with this protective case.
What G-sensor and motion detection settings are people using for the DR650S-2CH? The default settings I was constantly getting motion detection warnings in parking mode, even when no one was in my garage. I now have the Motion detection (Parking mode) set to 5. Not sure if that is too low but the endless parking motion notifications were getting annoying. I will gradually raise it to see if I can find a sane setting that won't ignore a real collision, but was wondering if anyone else has been through this.
I had 2 sets of the DR650S-2CH installed by Johnny when he was out here on the east coast in January. Very professional install and powered off the controllers in the front doors. Using a ZTE VM6200 mobile hotspot plugged into the OBD2 for wifi via AT&T.
