    I looked through the forums and I found a TON of stuff on the Dongar, but nothing on the homelink problem.

    I just installed a Dongar 12 pin rear view mirror USB adapter for a dash cam. 2023 TRD off road. It plugged in fine and it powers the dash cam fine. But the homelink wireless control buttons on the rearview mirror (pages 389-390 of the manual, available at https://www.toyota.com/owners/warranty-owners-manuals/vehicle/tacoma/2023/) went dead, so no more garage door opener. No flashing light if I press the program button. When I pull the Dongar out and plug the vehicle connector back into the mirror, the homelink buttons light up again, and my garage door opens. Has anybody else seen this problem?
    UPDATE. Tried plugging it in and out, wiggling the wires. Works fine now. Duh.

    I'm using a Dongar Pro 12 pin and everything works fine. Are all the wires properly seated in the Dongar? You were sent a 12 pin connector and not a 10?

    Mine has worked perfectly on my 22 with a Garmin Mini 2. You may just have a bad unit.
