DongarDash Cam Power Adapter (12-pin Type A) - Compatible w Tacoma (15-23), Select Highlander, Tundra, Sienna; Honda Ridgeline & More. USB Power, Connects to Rearview Mirror. Easy Install!

This Dongar Dash Cam Power Adapter was exactly what I needed to install my dashcam in my 2019 Toyota Tundra without the hassle of hardwiring or using fuse taps. It plugs directly into the back of the rearview mirror, making the whole setup super clean and professional-looking—no dangling wires or exposed connections.The install took under 5 minutes. It’s literally plug-and-play. The adapter fit perfectly into the Tundra’s 12-pin mirror harness, and the USB connection powered my dashcam immediately. It also turns on and off with the ignition just like it's supposed to, which gives me peace of mind that it's working correctly without draining the battery.This is hands-down the easiest and most OEM-looking way to power a dashcam. If you have a Toyota with a compatible mirror, don’t even think twice—get this adapter!

I have a 2014 Toyota Tundra SR5. My rear view mirror has a compass and buttons for opening garage doors. This adaptor works perfectly to power my windshield mounted dashcam. Now, instead of running the cable from the dashcam around the edge of the windshield to the dashboard and eventually to a power source, this adaptor allows me to use the factory power source that was intended for the mirror for both the mirror and my dashcam. It was easy to install and works perfectly. I could not be happier with this adaptor.

I almost ordered one of these for my previous truck but the reviews warning of blown fuses and CE codes after install made me hesitate. I really wanted to install a dashcam in my new truck so I finally ordered one to give it a shot.My truck is a 2021 Tacoma TRD Sport DCSB with premium and tech. My dashcam is an older (2018) Aukey DR02 that takes a mini USB cable for power. I read that others were successfully using the mini Garmin cams, but figured my dashcam is pretty small and basic (no WiFi, no GPS, no rearview cam) so the power requirements would likely be similar.Install takes all of 5 minutes and everything you need is in the box. I wish Dongar disclosed in the listing that they include a 6 inch mini USB & a 6 inch micro USB cable because I ordered short cables separately. Either way, a nice add-on to include in the box.Install goes like this:1. Clean your windshield.2. Align and place the adhesive pad (or suction cup) for your dashcam behind the mirror.3. Unplug the 12-pin connector from the back of your mirror.4. Plug the Dongar adapter into your mirror where you just removed the OEM cable.5. Plug the OEM cable back into the 12-pin port on the Dongar adapter.6. Plug the USB cable into the Dongar adapter and into your dashcam.7. THEN start or power up accessory mode in your truck.I've checked the adapter's temperature after use (again, due to warnings in reviews here) and it's nice and cool as it should be. My guess is folks who had issues with it running hot or blowing fuses are using devices that draw a lot of power thus overloading the adapter. Everything so far works as described and it's a nice clean install with no wires hanging and no ports below permanently in use by the dashcam.As an alternative to a traditional hard-wire install, which some might not be comfortable or capable of doing, this little adapter is the way to go and a nice mod for under $35.

Wow...was not expecting this to work with both my 2019 Toyota Tundra and my Garmin Dashcam 20; however, it plugs right in on the back of the mirror and powers my dash cam with the use of a Micro USB to Mini USB adapter. The adapter is very small and compact, which allows me to mount the dash cam right below my mirror using the mirror mount kit for Garmin devices. The dashcam powers on when the vehicle starts and will power off when the truck is shut off. The mirror is a powered Homelink mirror which controls my three garage doors as well as automatically dims while driving at night. The adapter was plug and play, but since it has a Micro USB output, I had to get an adapter to fit my Dashcam 20 which has a Mini USB input.The only negative, and this has nothing to do with the adapter, is that the dash cam powers up on startup and reads the adapter as a USB transfer device, so it goes to the bright-white transfer screen and doesn't dim or return to the view screen until you press cancel. However, it does still record while in data transfer, you just have to press cancel to return to the main screen. This isn't a problem in the daytime, but at night, the white screen will blind you while driving. You just have to cancel when you first start up the vehicle.I highly recommend this adapter for those of us Toyota owners...too bad they are currently out of stock...hopefully they will make more of these for folks to streamline the look of using a dash cam without all those cords!

Clean install. Much easier than running wire.

Item works as stated and was very easy to install. There are two reasons it did not get five stars. The first reason is that the adhesive included on adaptor is very weak and did not last a whole day when stuck to my rearview mirror. The second issue is that while they include three cables with the adaptor the cable are six inches long and do not work well in the adaptor and unit are not almost touching in my case. That being said it is nice not to have to worry about plugging into the 12 volt connection and having to keep up with that cable.
