Worked perfectly for the install
This was very easy to install and the video made it really easy to follow the routing of the cables.

A Tad Expensive BUT Very Much Worth the Price
Purchased for year old car and installed it in less than five minutes. Absolutely perfect.I have probably fabricated a couple dozen wiring harnesses and pigtails over my lifetime and always found it a tedious, time-consuming and risky endeavor. First, the build your own, you have to locate an appropriate power source. Second, you have to gather the right supplies including connectors/splices/adapters/wire/soldering iron and connectors, heat shrink, and the list goes on. Then you have to spend an hour or two fabricating, testing, and crossing your fingers. In the end, the frustration level is so great you it adds to the chances you will lose your mind and screw it up.This basic pigtail, on the other hand, comes ready to plug in with good instructions, took less than five minutes to install, and the job looked incredibly clean and professional. What's more, no tedious and risky splicing into the wiring harness of an almost brand new car. Most importantly, the sweet little device was probably close to break-even if you consider the cost of the materials. If you consider the value of time-saved, it was definitely a win.

Long cord to 12V charger no longer needed.
The device functions by tapping into the powered rear view mirror and the adaptor is ordered by car model. It was easy to install even by a fumble-fingers older installer. The single detractor for which I subtracted one star was the USB-A to USB-C cord was shorter than I had preferred. The USB A extension to the adaptor is long enough to reach the rearview mirror cover near the dashcam which does make the adaptor cord long enough. However, I would have preferred to install the adaptor end inside the plastic rearview mirror casing and have only the cord reach the dashcam. However, the items in the kit function perfectly and my comments only reflect my preference for a cleaner looking install. (The longer cord I wish is available via a third party. Again he product as promised and delivered works perfectly. for BOTH the front AND rear dashcams.

Great Power Solution for Vava Dash Cam
This is a great seamless power solution for my 2014 Kis Cadenza and the Vava Dash Cam. It installs easily but the only issue is that the GPS module for my Vava dash cam is in the long USB cable that comes with the camera. Using a smaller USB cable to minimize excess wire clutter will remove the gps and speed data from my camera feed. Everything else works perfectly. I'm still looking for a complete solution, maybe cutting and splicing the long gps USB cable to make it shorter. Overall, a great fit and compatibility for most dash cams.

Clean and easy! Works on 2024 Sportage Hybrid no problem!
Was super easy to install! The cover for the mirror pops out easily with the included tool. The shrowd around it opens up providing plenty of space to tuck everything neatly. No visible wires anywhere! Works without any other steps aside from unplugging the mirror harness and then plugging in this adapter between.Some feedback: the included usb cables were a nice touch but making them angled 45° would be way neater. I used the cable that came with my cam instead for this reason. It is a lot longer but I was able to tuck it in easily enough.Also, I know all cars are different, but some instructions would be nice. I was able to follow a YouTube video and get it in. Not even the most basic instructions were included in or on the box making the entry level of this item significantly higher; not everyone is comfortable taking these parts of their car off. It's fundamentally easy though given basic steps.

Expensive but it works
I installed this on my 2024 Santa Cruz and it works perfectly. The only gripes I have are the price and the fact that the connectors are quite large. This prevented me from seating the plastic cover completely after installation. I'm sure I could finagle it into place given enough time but close enough is good enough since you can't tell unless you stick your face up behind the mirror, lol.

This Adapter Is Slick!
Worked like a charm in my 2025 Genesis GV80 (with the Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror). Easy to install; very compact; LED light in the USB port to show power is on; Totally eliminates stringing wires around the windshield trim and dashboard.

Get rid of your dashcam power connection.
It's simple and works exactly as described. You pop off the housing behind your mirror, and use this adapter to tap into the power to your electronic rear-view mirror. Then you mount your dashcam on the windshield nearby and plug it into this adapter. Presto! No dangling wires, no wasted USB sockets.Installation is a bit finnicky, through no fault of Dongar or the adapter. There just isn't much room inside the housing on the windshield, so you have to carefully stuff the Y connector and the wires back in without damaging anything. I managed to do this, but I hope the Hyundai service department isn't in a big hurry if they ever have to re-stuff it.IMPORTANT: This approach to powering a dashcam requires the EXACT adapter for your make and model and YEAR AND TRIM. If your mirror isn't auto-dimming, and/or doesn't include garage door buttons, or some other electronic feature, then it probably doesn't have POWER going to it, and this adapter will have no wiring to adapt to!And of course the specific adapter is matched to the wiring and connectors used by your brand of car, your model, year of manufacture, and quite possibly the trim level of your model. This review is for the 2023 Hyundai Tucson Limited, and the adapter was exactly right.
