Dongar Classic Dashcam Integration USB-C Power Adapter (DCA-10D)

This adapter let's you power a USB device from rear view mirror power connector. It comprises a DC-DC converter (12v -> USB's 5v - the black shrink-wrapped thing), male & female Dodge rear view mirror power plugs, USB A socket plus USB mini & USB micro adapter wires. Makes easy, nice n tidy powering of USB devices near rear view mirror. Steps (YYMV - do @ your own risk, etc): 1 - Gently pull down & toward you from bottom/bottom sides of large cover forward of rear view mirror. Mine detached easily taking down the narrow upper wire cover with it. No broken plastic hooks (as shown in photo), yea! 2- Push tab up from bottom of Dodge black plug in back of rear view & slide out. Insert adapter's plug & socket as intercept for that wire. I wrapped mine w/one wrap of that thin green adhesive-backed felt and inserted it snugly in cavity above mirror stalk. 3) Wiring is done. I wrapped the black module + extra wire with another wrap of green felt and zip-tied it to the metal bracket for rain sensor. Reattached front big black cover 1st then thinner wire cover from rear view -> headliner 2nd. Powers on w/accessory & while driving. Works great for me so far. BTW I'm very handy w/electronics, soldering, etc but no-brainer to use this thing vs buying small DC-DC converter, the USB sockets + adapters & somehow trying to neatly & reliably tap into wires, etc.

First, do NOT buy the suggested right-angle dongles; this kit comes with 3 dongles, each with a different male connector, which is good, because the suggested ones I ordered were the wrong connector. I wish they would have clearly stated this; it would have saved me a few bucks. Also, your camera will only be powered on when your car is running or in accessory mode. If your camera is so equipped and you want it to be usable as a “parking monitor”, this is not the kit for you. The kit comes with an orange, plastic trim tool that made removing the cover off my 2024 Ram’s rearview mirror easier. Following are top tips for 2024 and later Ram 1500 owners: the rear view mirror cover is in 2 pieces (a top and a bottom); removing them is the most challenging part of the install, but it’s not too bad. Read on for a good method to use. Note, the upper cover has a small section that slides down very slightly from the head liner; slide it down. Remove the top piece first, by slipping the small end of the tool into the lower edge of the top piece (about an inch or so up from the bottom edge) and pressing a tab (which you can’t see…) and pulling gently but firmly down. It’s not too hard to find. After getting one side done, do the other. Then, use the same tool to help gently, yet firmly pry the lower cover down towards the dash. If you jiggle the cover, you will see where the resistance is, and it consists of two “bayonets” and slots, one on each side of the mirror stem, that you must uncouple. That’s the “hard part”. After that, unplug the mirror by pressing the tab of the plug up and pulling the plug. If you look at the part that will be plugged in from this kit, it will make sense. Then re-terminate the mirror plug into the adapter, find the correct dongle from the 3 choices, plug it in to the USB and then your camera, power on your car’s accessory mode, and test your camera. Don’t adhere the USB port to your window yet! After confirming function, tuck the wires into the lower cover, making sure to feed the red and black wires thru the small slot on the side (Ram must have anticipated this), line up the “bayonets”, and press the lower cover into place. Line up the tabs on the upper cover and press them into place, then slide the “movable” part of the cover towards the headliner until it’s flush. Find a good spot to adhere the USB port and you’re done.

This company is amazing and it's a great valley for the money for your dash cam. The cable length is perfect it is compatible as it describes. Connectivity is pretty good and seems to be doing good in the heat too.

Works as advertised!! Totally worth the money and a real time saver. Installation was easy enough (had to use a youtube tutorial to disassemble the rear view mirror on my 2019 Jeep GC). Installation was completed in 20 minutes. Would recommend to anyone who wants to skip routing cables through the entire car.

The kit worked perfectly in my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. It came with everything I needed. This kit makes installation of a dash cam easy. No messy wires dangling around! Plugged right onto the 10 pin socket for the auto dimming rear view mirror. The usb end has some 3m tape attached to make mounting even better. This couldn’t be more simple and easy. The hardest part will be removing the rear view mirror trim and the mirror itself.

This works exactly as advertised! The connectors are a perfect fit and easy to use, and it worked perfectly to install a viofo a119 in my 2023 Chrysler 300. The only beef I have - and this is enough for me to take a star off, is that the wires going from the extension to the USB plug are not covered in any kinda insulation at all. I understand why they might have chosen to do that (so you could fit it through tiny gaps), but having a random red wire and black wire coming out near the rearview mirror looks kinda tacky, and I'm concerned the uv exposure from sunlight will eventually cause the insulation to break down. Sooo.. guess I'll cover it in some tape. Still. Wish that was covered! Otherwise, it works fantastic. The video on the dongar website showing someone installing it in their 300s was very helpful in understanding how to get that shroud off! I wish they made one of these for my jeep wrangler because I really would love to not have a usb plug being used up in my console!

Worth the money for clean install. This worked great in my 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat for a dashcam mirror tap. Ease of finding power and ground preserving all OEM wiring, plug and play, and clean esthetically pleasing to the eye with no wires running from traditional power sources in the windshield making unobstructed vision while driving. Powered on when vehicle is started or in ACC, off when key turned off making it perfect for dash cameras and radar detectors.

Cleanest way to install on a RAM! On/off with engine 0 problem. Way better than the fuse box method which for me kept the BCM on and drained the battery. Ply tool was not included in the box.

Expensive but work like a charm on my 2023 rebel and with a Garmin dash cam.. highly recommended, look awesome!

Wow.. such a easy setup for connecting dashcams to your GC. No long works and very very clean setup

Works perfectly with my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited. I just wish the cables that came with it had a 90 degree angle.

Installed on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK, Limited. Dash Cam wiring is nicely tucked behind rearview mirror covers. Delivery time was as estimated.

Great product, a bit expensive, wires to the USB should be covered. The hard part is taking the rear view mirror housing on my 2014 RAM Bighorn off. Otherwise good product
