Which dash cam do you have and can I use any ODB for parking mode? Also, my AC is no longer blowing

    That is too involved for me and I don't want to pay someone to install it.

    For you it isn't but that goes beyond my skills.

    Huh? Wires hanging down? I will tie them up and away. Again, going into the fusebox is too difficult for me. I am not even looking forward to running the wire behind the car panels. OBD 2 is just plug in and go. Simple.

    Yes I do but installation videos I have watched are way more involved than that. Maybe you are confused. OBD 2 is just plug in and that's it. Hardwiring to fuse box involves way more work and 3 different cables. Here is a video about the OBD 2

    This thing hangs on your rear view mirror or right next to it or on a bracket under it or something you pull overhead console down fish wires up get test light get the hot wire it feeds the light on position . T tap. Into that . Now put ground lead of test light on that hot wire and find a ground usually white wire blk line t tap the blk into that . Swing up console .look at yer cam ...

    My only confusion is why you want to risk issue with the obd port.
    Your car....
