I’ve been using the Dongar RearView Power Adapter on my 2019 F150 since I bought new. No A pillar wiring! These ideas are great
Hi Jeff! Ah yes the Dongar works pretty good too, here is my full review for it ruclips.net/video/-hGu8KZLaZ4/видео.html Cheers!
Great video and infromation. Thanks.
Thank you Ken!
Another reason I love Skoda their little things like inclusion of dashcam power port with irvm. Makes life easier or should I say clever!
Hi Falcon! Yeah I hope more car manufacturers will follow and a power port for accessories will be a more common find on new cars. Cheers!
Where the supply located?
@@kenkennedy5516 Hi Ken! As shown on the video, the supply is from the mirror area of car (some cars have power to this area). Cheers!
No, you shouldn't say cleaver. You should say clever.
Omg game changer here. Will this work on a 2019 vw tiguan possibly? Excellent review and how to!

Thanks for this video I like this Idea best.
You're welcome Bud!
I have the Vofio 229 Pro with front facing camera, interior camera and rear facing camera on a 2024 Outback. I love the idea, but I’m not sure how it would save me on wiring for three cameras. I asked we as I have another 2019 Subaru that I’d like to put a dash cam in.

Great Video. I'm surprised the manufacturer didn't use the Interior light? On Most cars this is a Permanent 12v. 🇬🇧👍
Thank you John! Ah yes my car has interior lights on a separate circuit but on another one of my cars the lights are directly on the mirror (with as you mention, constant 12V). Cheers!
As Spock would say, Logical Captain!..it would only be a Splice
Would be great if you can access the wires without dropping the headliner by removing pillar covers that also house airbags, held on with lots of plastic clips that tend to break when you try to dislodge them.
@@TheSuburban15 If you remove the cover of the interior light there are a couple of screws, undo them and the entire thing comes out giving easy access to the wiring loom.
I'd love to get one of these as I have a Red Tiger cam sitting in a box that I'm dreading installing the wiring down to the fuse block. If there's a FitDVR that would work on a 2007 CR-V, I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could use the cable for the map lights. (There's a second cable for the moonroof but it only works with the key turned to ACC).

Very cool! Love your channel by the way!
Thanks Pauly, I appreciate that 🍻 Cheers!
Need this for my e90
I need that sooo bad. I'm always kneeing the power cable plugged into the power port. I've broken three of them in two years
Why don’t car manufactures just fit dash cams as standard or offer them as an option? In comparison to the overall cost of the vehicle, it wouldn’t be much of an addition to the total price. I don’t get it!
Good question!
Hi Rio! Yeah this is very natural offering, and we are seeing but very slowly (Telsa has them, C8 and few other in high trims). Hopefully we will see the industry make this a more common option when ordering a vehicle. Cheers!
Or just a USB port connected or close to the mirror, so it would make people's life easier. It would be more useful than having many USB ports down below that are rarely used.
Or just have a USB power plug on the back of the rear view mirror?
@@hermancm Hi Herman! Yeah hopefully we will see the industry make a USB port more common option when ordering a vehicle. Cheers!
Alex good job, question , I got a Toyota Corolla 2023 which should I buy?
Thank you Dario! Ah I'm not familiar with the connector on the 2023 Corolla, but I placed the link to the adapters available for Toyota in the video description. The listing breakdowns the models and years it's available for. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. Will this work with the BlackVue 907x plus 2ch?
You're welcome NHILL! Unfortunately I have not tested the BlackVue 907X so I'm not familiar with it. However this adaptor work with 5V (USB) dash cams and 12V (DC Plug) dash cams and radar detectors as shown in the video. BlackVue typically uses the DC plug connector. The kit comes with a DC connector cable shown on the video in the most common size used by 12V dash cams and radar detectors (measures 3.5mm OD and 1.35 ID). Cheers!
Thanks and any version of this or any similar product available for a new 2024 Honda CRV ?
Hi John! Here is my solution for that ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html and when they add one for Honda I will update this comment for you and the links in the description. Cheers!
Great video! How do I find out if my '02 F150 or '05 4Runner have power to the mirror?
Thank you Walt! Ah I placed the link to the Ford adapter in the video description, the listing includes which models the adapter is applicable too. However, yes your mechanic can also confirm if your mirror area has power if you like to confirm before ordering. Cheers!
That is pretty cool, I would consider buying it. The only thing it's a little pricey for what it does, but definitely appreciate knowing about it.
Hi Mark! Ah here is another hardwire alternative ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html Cheers!

Hi,slightly off subject. My Vehicle Suzuki Vitara 1.0 Boosterjet 2018 UK, need to hardwire in dashcam. Need to run wire behind a pillar trim! What are the pitfalls doing it this way?...ie location of airbag/s etc By the way loving your RUclips channel and the enthusiasm you show throughout 👌
Thank you Ray! Ah yes the traditional hardwire method is more common but more labor intensive, however it does have the advantage of enabling true park mode. Here is my video showing that process and the airbag in more detail ruclips.net/video/uZp95NbNlmM/видео.html Cheers!
Thanks ,Alex for replying so quickly! This Video will be a great help,Its the a pillar I have a slight worry about,have done previou in older vehicles(2) Iknow which fuses etc to use..Keep up you grest work Alex.

It would be nice to find a power brick that can output power while charging and use that for parking mode
Hi Tom! Ah yes some people run their dash cam off a battery pack. However since here my State we experience really hot temperatures which I would not want to subject the battery to, that and the potential for a run away event (fire) during charging or discharging inside the car. Here is an example of a internal dash cam battery and what the sun did to it ruclips.net/video/HW8jqbl_ayU/видео.html and a video of battery related fire I personally experienced ruclips.net/video/XfWgJ8nu-RA/видео.html (destroyed the house) Cheers!
I have a Subaru with 12 pins. You haven't listed one for my car and I can't seem to find the manufacturer's web page to check if they have one for me. Any suggestions?
Also, do you have any dash cam recommendations that use capacitors and not batteries?
Hi William! Here is my solution for that ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html and when they add one for Subaru I will update this comment for you and the links in the description. Regarding a dash cam with capacitor instead of batteries yes, here you ruclips.net/video/lndW5pSvrjw/видео.html Cheers!
Hi @Autofun
Thanks for this amazing review again. As regards my findings on my mirror dashcam of choice, the rydeen Tombo 360x remains my no 1 option for some obvious reasons as you know. But, the low battery protection voltage remains a great concern to me (@ 10V as you told me days ago). Knowing new cars of today has many infactory power consuming accessories already, I don't know if I will be able to start the car the following day if the battery eventually got drained down to 10V.
In the course of my research, I stumbled over a review of a dashcam installer whose client dashcam voltage was preset @11.4V and woke up to a dead car some days later just as he has predicted to the client, that such will happen at that voltage😔 (11.4 was assumed low, not to talk of 10)
1) What will be your advice/recommendation at this point pls?
2) Does rydeen has any hardwire kit for adjustable power protection? Or is the option available now in the updated software? 12v and above would be lovely and reliable
3) I will really appreciate if you can share with me the manual showcasing the new software interface navigation and functionalities. (the one on their site seems to be the old one).
I just want to see the added functionalities
Thanks so much as I anticipate your response...... Peace ✌️
You're welcome Muda! Ah remember 10V is not the power consumption of the device, the 10V refers to at what point the low voltage cut off kicks in. You can have a kit cut off at 12V but if the power consumption of the car is high when the vehicle is off the battery will reach that level faster and park monitoring will turn off (basically the same as not having parking monitoring), same if it was 11V or 10V, how long it takes for the battery to get to a specific voltage varies depending on the car's battery, size, age, health condition, SOC and any parasitic draw from other items on the vehicle that use power when the car is off. This is specially common on newer vehicles. For example I have an older Jeep that can sits for months a time with little to no battery draw, then I have a 2017 car that will almost completely drain my battery in a few weeks if the car is not used (mind you that car does not have any aftermarket devices connected to it). Here is the battery tester I use ruclips.net/video/kCNrfa8RUKU/видео.html if you want to test your battery for capacity and health, it can also perform a parasitic draw test if needed. I do use one of this ruclips.net/video/C1LapUB7bXo/видео.html on vehicles that have a high power draw when off to protect the battery. Regarding an adjustable hardwire from Rydeen, they do not have one (adjusting the cut off is a feature I'm slowly seeing disappear from the market) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun
Thanks so much for your swift response as always
Gracias
@@musaadedibu9316 You're welcome! This is a very interesting topic and I actually have a video in the works where I go into power consumption into more detail including testing different dash cams power draw (Amps while in parking mode) and also test their amp draw in the different park modes they support (some mode consume more power than others) That way people can get an idea on draw and which mode to choose from. Cheers!
Hello, Alex. Thanks for this video. I have a question. Which particular one would I need for my 2022 Camry XSE V6? They have a 12pin and 16pin unit. Also, I already have a radar detector tapped into my mirror, the traditional way, by inserting thin pins into the male plug. The radar detector is plugged into the power that shuts off when turning off the vehicle. If I use this plug and play harness while the radar detector is being tapped in, could it cause shortages? Also, my mirror has constant power, so would plugging in my dashcam be able to support it as parking mode? Thanks!
You're welcome L! Ah normally Camry uses the 12 pin (the listing has the full list of vehicles if you want to double check). Regarding using two aftermarkets devices together, while it is sometimes possible, I would probably only leave one, it this case the FitDVR, since it can power both USB devices and the radar detector (obsoleting the other device you have installed). Cheers!
Good stuff. Does it suite for 2015 Honda CR-V?

I was JUST about to start hardwiring my wolfbox mirror cam, really dreading it, then I saw this video!
Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be one for Chevrolet/GMC trucks (yet) so maybe I'll hold off juuuuuust a little longer in hopes of one coming out relatively soon
Hi G! Here is my solution for that ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html links in the description of that video to the Wolfbox adapter. Cheers!
I just purchased a WolfBox mirror cam as well, I also do not see anything for this device to hook into my Nissan Altima powered mirror.
I have a 2020 Toyota Corolla, you stated that the 12 pin connector is grey / what color is the 16 pin connector?
Hi Frank! I have not seen the connector for the 2020 Corolla, what I typically see is that sometimes the connector color is different even in cases where the connector is the same (connectors can come from different suppliers). So, I usually go by the number of pins and connector keying (the shape that prevents mating to an incorrect connector) to identify a connector more than color. Cheers!
Hi Alex, as you know, i eventually went for the fitCam for my car (Thanks to you 🙃) , I wonder if this setup using FitDVR P-adapter will be ideal for the rear camera part of my fitCam when it arrives?
Hi Joan! Ah the rear camera is powered by the front camera so there is no need to run a separate power supply for the rear. Here is my video showing how I route the rear camera cable ruclips.net/video/IYRavaIBmSY/видео.html skip to the 3:40 mark. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun Thanks Alex, I'll take a look 👍
You're welcome!
My car has one of those mirrors with buttons on it to control a garage opener and stuff. It works even when the car is off. So Im assuming it might have enough power to run a dashcam when the car is off.
Have you confirmed this ? This is the exact question I have ; if the rear view mirror can power the device while the car is off
@@snzygames haven't tried it yet. I don't have a box on the glass like he does, either. My mirror just has a cable running along the glass up to the headliner.
Regarding parking monitoring not needed if car is parked in garage. The biggest threat to car damage is in parking lots, not driveways. Of course, theft could occur in parking lot or driveway.
Hi Ken! Ah yes good input, I think didn't expand on that subject as much as I should, I mention park mode potentially not being used if the car is garaged because this is a common practice a lot of my viewers do to reduce battery drain (from a hardwire kit) when their car is parked in their garage. Now, I do also have another number viewers who leave their park mode on all the time (even when on a secured area), so probably some level of preference here but I agree, highest probability of danger is when car is exposed in an unsecured location. Cheers!

I recently learned the power for moon roof can be disconnected. Many are discovering this moon roof feature is unnecessary. Could this be an alternative for wiring?
Hi Tag! Disconnecting power to the moon roof can potentially disable your moon roof from working (since it will no longer have power) If you don't plan to use your moon roof, I guess it could be disconnected, just be aware that some newer vehicles will throw a code for that and may require relearning the sunroof once it's reconnected. Cheers!

Will this work for a rexing M3 dash cam?
Hi JP! As shown on the video this adapter supports mirror dash cams that do not exceed it's rated capacity (so none of my mirror dash cams have exceeded it's capacity). Just remember that if you have an older M3, the GPS function is built in the original adapter so you will loose GPS if not using the original adapter. The new M3 (review on it coming) has the GPS function independently of the power adapter. Cheers!
I have a RAV4 Prime. If I disconnect the battery how will that affect the car?
Hi Bob! I would check your owners manual, most cars are setup to allow disconnecting the battery without issues as this is a normal operation performed commonly on cars. The manual may also help you understand the re-learn procedure (and if there is one or not) when swapping batteries for a new one (vs using the same battery where it may not be required). You can also consult with your dealer to confirm if you will loose your stereo presets or any other settings if the battery is disconnected for service. Cheers!
Sorry I'm a bit confused. Does this means the power adapter tap taking power from the ACC? The hub behind rearview mirror is usually for ADAS camera and stuffs, right? Isn't it only powered when the ignition is on? If so, then it cannot be used for parking mode? I use a 70mai dashcam and it requires VCC for parking mode and switch to ACC when ignition on.
But aside from that, I imagine this power adapter tap really helps people installing dashcam. Decently priced too.

No Chevy model? Got a 2012 cruze eco could use one of these on.
Hi Guarding! I imagine we will see one for the Chevy Cruz soon. This adapter is so new but I'm sure they will be adding more models and once they do I will update this comment for you and add to the links I placed in the description. Cheers!
Have you got a link to the manufacturer? I'm in UK & Amazon only had (now unavailable) 16 pin version; think my SKODA has a 10-pin autodim mirror connector

Is the fitDVR better than the Dongar power adapter? Can you compare the two solutions?
@@jorkirasalas2726 Hi Jorki! Ah I actually I can, I also reviewed the Dongar and they are very different devices. The Dongar is smaller due to it's lack of enclosure and screen. The Dongar has been around longer so it's possible they may have more vehicle coverage than FitDVR. The FitDVR is newer so it has more capability as far as powering dash cams where the Dongar is limited (both in Amperage and in Voltage). The FitDVR looks clean and has the informative screen but again this maybe just a matter of preference (some people don't care for an enclosure or screen). Here is the full review for the Dongar so you can compare the rest of it's features ruclips.net/video/-hGu8KZLaZ4/видео.html and stay tuned, I have another review in the works for a similar product that may interest you, very neat stuff (can't say much at this point yet) Cheers!
Can it power both the radar detector and a 3-channel camera?
Hi Ken! Yes, you can power both at the same time. The screen will actually show both the 5V and 12V output and their corresponding amp consumption for each when 2 devices are connected at the same time, Cheers!
I have fitcamx unit in the car
Is this compatible for fitcamx (Fitcamx 4K Front and Rear Dash Cam Suitable for Toyota Corolla 2022 2021 2020 LE L XLE SE XSE Hybrid, Hatchback 2019-2022, Dual 2160P+1080P HD Video Wide Angle, Loop Recording G-Sensor WiFi, 64GB Card
) ?
How is it that fitcamx.? Any issues?
Hi Jr! The Fitcamx dash comes with it's power supply (that pull power in the same way as the FitDVR) So there is no need to buy an extra power supply for it. Here is my video for it so you can see how it works ruclips.net/video/TvKRKYA7cgQ/видео.html Cheers!
Would this work for 2017 Yukon xl slt?

@@AlexAutoFun Yeah, i asw now the video, but to be honest, for me is better with this ''FitDVR Power Adapter Tap'' because i have a WOLFBOX G900 4K+2.5K Touch Screen Parking Monitoring Dash Cam, and this is much better for me, i have a Renault Clio III Grandtour 208, so i wait the linkfrom you here, when it comes.

Can you also use it for cams like vantrue N5? 😁
Hi Forsk! Unfortunately I have not reviewed the N5 but this kit works with dash cam that use a USB cable (like the Vantrue N5 does). I will see if we can add the N5 to the list of dash cams to review (list is getting longer by the day! LOL) Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun it's okey buddy thanks 👍🏻😁
@@ForskWooW You're welcome Bud!
Do they have a website so I could look into whether they have a unit which would work with my vehicle? I wouldn't be inclined to install a component, let alone connect to the vehicle's electrical system, without the manufacturer telling me it's compatible. Thanks.
Hi Benefit! I put the links to the adapter in the video description (they are available for several car makes and the listings shows all the specific car models if you like to confirm) Cheers!
Do you know how to do that with viofo a229 pro?
I had no option to connect to battery for this dashcam.
Hi Rose! Unfortunately I have not reviewed the A229 but this kit works with dash cam that use a USB cable (like Viofo does). I will see if we can add the A229 to the list of dash cams to review (list is getting longer by the day! LOL) Cheers!

They make transparent stickers for just this reason, to attenuate the light on displays, if the light bothers you.
You can use a battery pack to power multiple devices.
Hi Richard! Yes some people do run their dash cam off a battery pack. However since here in my State we experience really hot temperatures which I would not want to subject the battery to, that and the potential for a run away event (fire) during charging or discharging inside the car. Here is an example of a internal dash cam battery and what the sun did to it ruclips.net/video/HW8jqbl_ayU/видео.html and a video of battery related fire I personally experienced ruclips.net/video/XfWgJ8nu-RA/видео.html (destroyed the house) Cheers!
So how camera manage in parking mode?
Hi Ken! As explained in the video, park monitoring will depend on your vehicle. Most have switched power to this area, but some do have constant power, potentially enabling you to monitor your car while parked. And here is another solution for park monitoring without hardwire ruclips.net/video/YEklm9V6xYE/видео.html Cheers!
Hi Great video, and a great tool, It, 's a shame it does not cover the rear camera, Thank you welshman 2081
Thank you Ron! Ah remember, dual channel dash cams (like the 2nd one showed in the video and the mirror dash cam shown), provide power to the rear camera. So there is no need for the rear camera to have it's own power supply. Here is my dash cam install video so you can see how the rear camera simply connects to the front camera for power ruclips.net/video/IYRavaIBmSY/видео.html Cheers!
Hi Alex Just watched your mirror dashcam insulation, Explained well. Thank you @@AlexAutoFun

Can it power 2 dash cam at once? One for the front facing the other facing the driver?
Hi Alita! As long as you don't exceed its power output, yes it can power multiple devices (with a USB splitter). However it may be easier to get a dual channel dash cam like the one I showed (with front and cabin view) Here you go ruclips.net/video/pZ9HcEmL2GU/видео.html Cheers!
