Dongar PRO Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror Dash Cam Power Adapter, 3 Modes (DONGAR-PMA-01)

Installed for my dash cam on 6th gen Toyota 4Runner. Works great, install was a bit finicky to get the plastic trim off (but that is the car dependent, not the product). Otherwise has been working without issue. Dash cam turns on consistently whenever car is started. Much cleaner than having to run wiring. Would recommend.

this item doe's not work in parking mode on Australian model lexus. i have been told by dongar that Amazon is not an authorized reseller of dongar products and as such they are not liable for any refunds.

I purchased a Dongar Pro for a dash cam installation on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road. I was looking for a better way to hide wiring and provide continuous and timed power than running lines to the fuse box. The Dongar Pro provides ignition on, timed or continuous operation when the ignition is off. Initially, I used the supplied 10 pin connector to the self-dimming HomeLink mirror. Everything worked, but it did not provide any continuous source of power for timed and continuous operation, only power when the truck was running. Dongar support was a great help. They told me there is an unused 5 pin connector accessed under the dome light cover that provides continuous power. Yes, there is, and the supplied 5 pin connector works. The hardest part was getting my fingers under the front portion of that dome light cover and pulling down. Everything always feels like it will break, but it came right off. The power wire for the Donger sticks out the front and is not all that visible with the cover back on. Now, there is continuous and timed power along with direct to ignition options to my dash cam -- all indicated by the different colored and flashing lights on the Dongar. It works great and provides an easy to implement power solution without running wires to the fuse box or an aux switch. Dongar Pro is recommended for both the product and support.

Dateline: A Sun-Scorched Driveway, Recalling Some Godforsaken Summer Past. I remember the old way. The so-called "hardwire kit." It was a promise of a clean, professional installation that inevitably descended into a special kind of automotive damnation. It was a sentence to an entire afternoon spent in the blazing sun, fighting a war against cheap plastic trim panels that refuse to yield without drawing blood from your knuckles. The ritual was always the same: a desperate, sweat-soaked pilgrimage to the fuse box, a dark little corner of the car where logic goes to die. Armed with a multimeter and a string of curses, you'd probe and pray, hunting for that one elusive fuse with constant power, the holy grail for your unblinking electronic eye. And then, the finale: stuffing a rat’s nest of excess wire behind an A-pillar, a shameful secret of your shoddy work hidden just beneath the surface. It was a miserable, soul-crushing business. I say to screw that. All of it. Then this thing arrived. The Dongar Adapter. It’s not just a piece of hardware; it’s a declaration of independence from the tyranny of the fuse box. It’s a masterstroke of defiant simplicity in a world that worships complexity. The installation? It’s an insult to call it that. It’s a momentary diversion. You pop the plastic housing off the rearview mirror, a single, clean snap. You unplug one connector. You plug this Dongar in its place, a perfect, elegant bridge. You plug the original connector into the Dongar. The deed is done. The whole affair is over in less time than it takes to find the right screwdriver for the old way. It is a surgical strike. Clean, efficient, and brutally effective. Some will balk at the price. They’ll say, "I can get a wire kit for a third of that." These are fools. These are people who have never lost an entire Saturday afternoon and a pint of their own sweat to a battle they were destined to lose. They don't understand that you are not paying for a piece of plastic; you are paying to buy back your time. You are paying to preserve your sanity. This adapter isn't a luxury; it's the only sane choice. It is a beautifully engineered "no" to hours of frustration. It turns a miserable chore into a moment of pure, unadulterated victory. Highest possible recommendation.

Great Adapter – Compact, Easy to Install, Works Perfectly! I’m really impressed with the Dongar Pro adapter. Installation was super easy — literally plug-and-play with no hassle or extra wiring. It’s very compact and doesn’t clutter the windshield area at all. The build quality feels solid, and it powers my dash cam reliably without any loose connections or interference. If you want a clean, simple, and professional-looking setup for your dash cam, this adapter is perfect. Highly recommended!
