This Bluetooth rig works well with your phone as the display.

Yes, I use that one too with a laptop to run forscan. It also works with your phone for track apps for engine data etc. Overall its the best option IMHO.

Is there any scan tool (OBD rig) that also provides an USB port to power my dash cam? That would be a cool feature but I cannot find one.

? You sure about that idea ? OBD is always powered, it'll discharge your battery.

I recommend the OBDX too. However, if you want something for just a little more simple to use, I have an Autel for sale, $50, if you are interested.

There are power cables like this https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/735279 where you can set the power-off timing and they disconnect the cam. But it wont allow to connect anything to the OBD port.

Foxwell makes some good scan tools and diagnostics tools. (There’s a difference). If all you want is something to read codes don’t spend more than $30 and buy something from an auto parts store. If you want the ability to read hard-codes not shown in your typical OBD notifications then get a diagnostic tool. Things like SRS codes cannot be read and cleared by basic scanners.
