The connectors/taps were the perfect tolerances/lengths to fit into my wiring harness

The connectors/taps were the perfect tolerances/lengths to fit into my wiring harness
I just got a new car (Lexus IS), and I wanted to transfer my A119s dashcam over from my previous car to my new one. I didn't want to use the cigarette lighter port to power my dash cam anymore because the wrapping the wires around seats would be ugly and unpleasant. Since my new car had a powered rearview mirror, I decided to tap into it for a power source. I looked online to buy something similar to a Mirror Tap product (for radar detectors), but I couldn't find any except for the "SimpleUSB Automotive 12V to USB Universal Adapter, Toyota / Subaru Installation Kit" which was unavailable. I believe the seller for that product is the same seller for this one with different names, so I had no doubt of purchasing this because the previous item had solid reviews.Anyway, I bought a micro to mini usb adapter since my dashcam needed a mini and installed them in my car last night. The connectors/taps were the perfect tolerances/lengths to fit into my wiring harness. The overall length of this adapter was slightly short; I think half an inch would have been ideal, but it was still long enough to reach my camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple install on 21 F150 Lariat
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2023
Install was simple, red plug to black connector wire. Black plug to green connector wire. Plugged micro usb into dash cam and everything worked perfectly. I did find the price a little higher than I would have expected but it provided the solution I was looking for so it’s a 5 star in my book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broken in less than a year
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2022
It worked great for my dashcam for less than a year. It is simply a tiny buck converter that converts the car's 12V to the 5V needed by USB. I was able to plug it into the mirror's power plug and it was very nice and tidy.

Now it overheats and does not power anything anymore. The main chip on it looks fried and it only outputs 2V now, so in the trash it goes. I will probably scavenge the wires and use another (better) buck converter I have laying around.
