Well that was an easy dash cam install.

Wow, didn't know that. That sucks!

 

nice i might do the same thing. Went to youtube and the guy said theres an issue with parking mode, when you turn on the car and it will overheat and froze. did you experience any of this?

 

Had no idea that plug was there. Going to be a big time saver!

 

what video did you watch? curious to check it out as this seems an awesome route

 

I bought this.. nice features for a cheapo

 

I have this one. It's not bad.

Here's some footage if you wanna see how it performs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNR2q61UePYvR39vqjOxGLkLaFLNPokO

 

Wow, had no idea this existed. Too bad I literally just finished installing my dash cam. It's alright though, I had to run the rear cam wire anyways. But kudos for this find!

 

Checked out the videos and seems pretty good for the price! Do you know if instead of using the suction mount can this one thread onto the GoPro mount?

 

Not entirely sure, I'll check when I get a chance in a couple hours. But that being said I've been on a few off road trips and have had it on for daily driving for about 4 months, and it's only come off once when the temperature changed drastically. Other than that the suction mount has been solid

 

Cool- Thanks for the offer to check

 

Thinking about getting a front/rear camera. Will this mirror adapter work for power on those cameras? I really don't want to mess with the fuse box (I'm mechanically/electrically challenged), or 12V outlet

 

The Garmin units have an adhesive mount.

 

I didn't install parking mode so I'm not sure if it still overheats. I did touch the dash cam after a 30 minute drive and it wasn't even warm.

 

It would depend on how the rear is powered.

 

I'm sure you can 3D print an adapter if you wanted to use a GoPro mount. The Garmin Mini Dash uses an adhesive mount so I'm not too concerned that it will fall off in the heat (compared to suction cups).

 

Do you lose the auto dimming function with this adapter?

 

I wouldn’t think so, the plug for the mirror plugs back into this, it seems to just be an extension with an added usb piggybacked to it. I’ll let you know later, mine is due in mail today

 

which trim levels/package have this connector in the rear view mirror?(asking b/c haven't purchase the truck and trying to find me a perfect trim/package for me)?

 

If this fits your camera, you don't need to stick it on your windshield and can make it not as visible.

That I can not answer but if it has auto dimming mirror it should have the wiring, just tilt mirror up, look for a wire that plugs in back, mine is just a simple plug, one clip you can depress with your finger
