re: Dash cameras

I just found out about dongar adapters. I have not bought one yet, but it’s simple enough- a pass through mirror power adapter with a USB port, assuming you have a compatible mirror and camera.

I have only recently started looking into the idea of dash cams in general. $30 is worth not tucking cable in/around trim or making a wire splice myself at my mirror.


Drawback- no “parking lot mode” or “pass through” power. If the vehicle isn’t on, the camera isn’t on. This doesn’t bother me. But if it bothers you, then don’t spring for this. But if you want a simple, clean install, these look like they’ll be in my shopping cart soon.
