    So you use this along with the Dongar dashcam power adapter that plugs into the mirror in the headliner?

    Just did the same (dongar pro). Was very easy. I mounted the 3-way switch in the sunglass holder so I can change the setting easily.

    I'm talking about using the Dongar adapter. It includes everything that you need.

    I tried using the
    $37 Dongar Dash Cam Power Adapter (12-pin Type A) - Compatible w Toyota Tacoma (15-23), select Highlander, Tundra, Sienna; Honda Ridgeline & more. USB Power, Connects to Rearview Mirror. Easy Install!
    Dongar power mirror adaptor, but received the wrong one twice from Amazon. Ordered and received the
    $35 mangoal Dashcam Power Adapter for 12 Pin (Model A) for Subaru Honda Infiniti Toyota,Tacoma (16-23) Highlander Tundra Sienna etc,GPS Radar Mirror Camera Adapter,Connects to Rearview Mirror(Exposed)
    Mangoal power mirror adaptor instead and it works great.

    The Dongar adaptor isn't model specific. It's make and Gen/year specific. Easiest way to check is to pull the plug from your power mirror and check the connector pins. should be a 12 pin type A connector.

    Just a heads up on these mirror dashcam adapters... some aftermarket dash cams like my Viofo A229 will reboot every time you have an automatic engine stop/start at traffic lights, specifically on the restart event. You can avoid this by hardwiring to the fuse box under the glovebox (that's what I did) or by avoiding the auto stop/restart. It isn't a huge deal but takes the cam offline for the duration of the reboot process. Other cams may be OK if they have a sufficient capacitor or internal battery power buffer.

    Good to know if I ever need to replace my cam. I abandoned the Dongar adapter in place up in the overhead console, so it is there and waiting.

    Yeah, me too. I left the adapter connected to the factory harness up there anyway since that was easier than removing the darned thing.

    I just ordered the Dongar pro. I’m assuming it works for the 25 Tundra…it only has 22-24 listed.

    I got this set up and seems to be working great. Is there any danger of it killing my battery if I always use it in infinite mode?
