Exactly what I was looking for, although the adapter is no longer available on amazon. It probably ran out of stock due to this video. I'll try to look into alternatives. Thanks for such a great video, right to the point.

Ma’am!!! This is EXACTLY what I needed!! I’m installing my wife’s dashcam and saw the Dongar power adapter through Donut and didn’t know if I could find one that would work with her 2024 Crosstrek. You just saved me SO MUCH TIME! Thank you!

Excellent video - there are several on youtube that attempt to show a dashcam install on a 2024 Crosstrek or Impreza (same frame, same basic electronics), and yours is by far the best videography (can see all the connectors and where to fish the line through to provide power). Thank you for posting this, it's a tremendous help before we start pulling trim plates and unplugging connectors. Well done!

Great video, it assisted me well in installing my front cam. For a rear cam, would there have to be a wire going all the way from the back to the front for power, or is there a hidden power source in the back that you know of?
@Auto-Minute
Ай бұрын
Hey Jeff! Don't have a quick and easy solution for the rear power. However, do keep in mind that if you purchase a 2-channel dashcam, the rear camera has to plug into the primary unit (up front) to operate normally and be in sync.

Will the same adapter be needed for a 2024 Forester that doesn’t have an auto-dimming mirror? If it’s different, please advise the correct type of adapter for the above-mentioned Forester and the link. Thanks in advance.😊
@Auto-Minute

Hey there! ...and great question. Your Forester should have an available 5-pin connector similar to what's seen here. Since your vehicle isn't equipped with an auto-dimming mirror from factory, there will be a "hidden" connector in the upper console. I would definitely take a peek in there first just to be 110% sure :) Once you find that, you can purchase it here (amzn.to/3x8eR50)

Just an FYI 5 pin is incorrect for 24’ with auto dimming mirror. I just installed on my 24’ limited. Bought 5 pin first. No connectors that fit it. Had to re order 10P type B. This worked. I had to go back and forth with power adapter company and they eventually said nothing fit my crosstrek. However found post on Reddit and can confirm 10P type B fire and powers correctly.

I literally just did this install. Went back and forth with the dashcam tech support. Posted pics to them and they said they didn’t have the right connector then. I found a posting on Reddit that suggested the 10p type B. Ordered that. It fit correctly and dashcam is working. I have pics still. I work in IT so anything technical I can’t resolve myself drives me crazy so my going back and forth with a technical support group that kept having me try plugging into incorrect ports that didn’t match the 5p was annoying. My resolution wasn’t that result of their support. My 2024 limited was delivered in Nov 2024 in Southern California.

@ryanchristian8181 That’s interesting that worked for you and I’m genuinely glad for you! How though…? Now I’m curious. My comment came from experience. I purchased a 10 pin Type B following your comment, found its end didn’t fit into the socket for the auto dimming mirror which was a 5 pin one in my 2024 limited…which I purchased in August 2024. I ended up purchasing the 5 pin Type E connector, and it worked for me. If you meant Nov 2023 for the delivery date, I feel like there’s a chance Subaru updated the sockets for the later models. I also have pics and wish KZitem allowed us to upload pics on comments haha. Thank you for commenting back to me and discussing this issue seriously! Hopefully this helps someone in the future reading our comments.

@@goodhaemI took delivery in Nov 2024 after waiting for 4 months after I ordered it. The only thing I failed to mention was I have the package with the upgraded stereo and sunroof. I was super frustrated as tech support kept telling me to try these different ports and I’m like it won’t fit but I’ll try since this is your product. They actually told me we don’t have the correct product for your Subaru and that’s when I did more research and found the post on Reddit. Ordered the 10p from the same company that said they didn’t have the right connection for me. And my dash cams been working perfectly.

thanks so much for this video, I do have one question, In this video you show a two piece setup with 5 pins yet the link you give for the Dongar adaptor is a one piece. And looking through their listings their two piece adaptor looks like a 3 pin setup... So I'm a bit confused... but that's normal, my wife says that about me all the time🤣
@Auto-Minute

Hey! You are definitely not confused lol that's a great question! Funny enough, they used to have the single piece version, but have since evolved into a 2-piece as seen in the video. I just double-checked and it's definitely the right link, but appears they haven't refreshed the product image to reflect the 2-piece upgrade.

I believe that just means the adapter port will be connected to the mirror rather than being tucked away empty. Not sure if it's still under the plastic shroud, but wherever you're able to disconnect the auto-dimming mirror from that port, you'd just unplug that and connect the male end of the adapter in it's place, then reconnect your mirror to the female end of the adapter.
@Auto-Minute
5 ай бұрын
Instructions on accessing the port will be the same 👍🏽 The port that you see at 1:16 will be connected to a wiring harness instead of being tucked away. It's that wiring harness which powers the auto-dimming mirror. You'll simply disconnect the cable and replace it with this dashcam power adapter. Hope that helps!

@@Auto-Minute Thanks. Yes, I opened this access last week and inspected my 2024 Outback Limited and it definitely is the 10-pin. One slight difference is this resides inside the overhead panel where Eyesight is located and not inside the rearview mirror stem. Waiting on shipping but it looks like a 10 minute job. CAUTION: After the two screws and the panel clips do not pull hard, but instead simply lower this panel gently.... I pulled down too hard and snapped one of the small plastic hinges

Hey brother, the current setup will turn your dashcam [ON] and [OFF] with your vehicle. If you wish to use 24h parking mode, you will need to hardwire it to the fusebox (tapping into vehicle battery power).

@anthonypagano6565

The "hard-wire" kits sold by dashcam manufacturers are generally engineered to accomplish three tasks: (1) power the dashcam while the car is running; (2) sense when the car is turned off and power the dashcam in parking mode; (3) when the car is turned off sense when the car battery voltage drops below a specific level and turn off the power to the dashcam in parking mode to avoid running down the battery. As near as I can tell the Dongar product described in the video does NOT perform (2) or (3). If you don't care about using parking mode with your dashcam then the Dongar adapter described in the video may be a good alternative and looks nearly fool proof. Using the Dongar adapter eliminates running cabling along the car molding only if you don't install a rear camera. The dashcam manufacturers' hard wire kits typically come with everything you need to tie into your car's inside fuse box with no splicing or soldering required. However they rarely provide sufficient information to help the average novice know which fuse locations to use, how to correctly use the fuse taps and how to find a proper ground point. While there are a handful of youtube videos that provide good instruction for the experienced Do-it-Yourselfer the rest should consider hiring a professional to do this job.
