    Hi all, first of all new to creating a post but been around the forum for many years - this community is great with mod ideas and fixes!

    Issue: Comes from getting Dongar pro for my dashcam. The constant power to record when truck is off doesn’t work.

    Findings: Talking to Dongar they said they found for 3rd Gen Tacomas that the constant power wire is disconnected during shipment and should be connected by the dealer. Sometimes this isn’t done especially if you don’t have the fancy mirror upgrade. So they found it’s a 50/50 chance your Tacoma has the constant power wire connected if you don’t have the upgraded mirrors (which I don’t, not even sure what mirrors those would be? Maybe the blind spot ones?).

    Question: Does anyone know where this constant power wire is? From my understanding it’s in the truck just not connected… if I’m wrong would love to know what I’d need.

    Essentially I’m looking to use the 4 hour record when you park your truck (or constant recording it in an iffy area) so I need that wire connected.

    thanks!

    Do you have a sliding roof? The fuse to it is there (battery, not ign controlled) even when sliding roof motor is not.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Nope no sliding roof or any roof. I do have a powered back window (the one towards the bed).
