Hello,I'm looking for clarification on the recommended power/install method for the GO Focus Pro when it is being used alongside a GO9 device.From the documentation, the power consumption between the GO Focus Plus and GO Focus Pro appears to be very close, within only a few milliamps in most modes.GO Focus PlusNominal: 6 W 0.5 A at 12 V / 0.25 A at 24 VParking Mode: &lt;0.4 W 30 mA at 12 V / 18 mA at 24 VDeep Sleep Mode: &lt;0.1 W 7 mA at 12 V / 4 mA at 24 V GO Focus ProNominal: 6 W 0.5 A at 12 V / 0.25 A at 24 VParking Mode: 600 mW 50 mA at 12 V / 2.5 mA at 24 VDeep Sleep Mode: 98 mW 8 mA at 12 V / 4 mA at 24 V My question is: Why can't the GO9 be used to power the GO Focus Pro, especially when the documented power draw is so similar?Also, since the GO Focus Pro has an available OBD-II power harness, HRN-IOXGFPRO-OBD, could an OBD splitter be used so that the GO9 remains plugged into the vehicle's OBD port while the GO Focus Pro receives power from the same OBD connection?In other words, would this setup be acceptable?Vehicle OBD port → OBD splitter → GO9 + GO Focus Pro OBD power harnessOr is hardwiring the GO Focus Pro directly into the vehicle the only approved installation method?I have reviewed the GO Focus Pro wiki/documentation, and I do not see anything that clearly states the device must be hardwired. The documentation also mentions that the GO Focus Pro can be used alongside a GO9, so I'm trying to understand the best/recommended installation approach.Any clarification on the following would be appreciated:Can a GO9 power a GO Focus Pro directly?Can an OBD splitter be used with the GO9 and GO Focus Pro OBD harness?Is hardwiring required, or just recommended?What is the official best practice for installing GO Focus Pro alongside a GO9?Thank you.

Title

Thank you, that helps clarify the GO9/GO Focus Pro power relationship. One follow-up question: you mentioned that the choice between the OBD power cable and 3-wire harness mainly depends on which auxiliary cameras are being used. If a GO Focus Pro is installed with the camera harness / auxiliary camera setup, is the OBD splitter method still acceptable? Or does using the camera harness require the GO Focus Pro to be powered via the 3-wire hardwire harness instead of the OBD power cable? I'm just trying to confirm whether the splitter method remains supported when auxiliary cameras are added.
