Well that was an easy dash cam install.

Thanks. I saw them - just not sure which would work best with the Garmin since I don't have it in hand yet - was hoping to get a reference on the right cable so I could order it as well.

 

Is yours a 90 deg angle?

 

No, just a regular cable. I dont see the need for 90°.

 

I used

$8 Cable Matters Combo-Pack Right Angle USB Cable for TV Stick and Power Bank 6"es - 90 Degree USB to Micro USB Cable for Roku TV Stick and More

these for my garmin mini

 

Thanks for actually answering the question. I think it was more about not knowing which 90* angle was needed, but I supposed buying both like that you are covered either way.

 

Thank you for the link - order placed and will arrive with the camera. I love TW!

 

Well, I have received the parts. Now I just have to feel well enough to do this simple task.

For those contemplating shingles vaccine, it can really lay you low for days.

 

I had the first one 3 weeks ago - so did my wife. I had a sore arm for days but Lynn also got pretty wiped out for a few days, as well. She did a lot of sleeping which is unusual for her. Hang in there...then we can get the 2d one. We also got the pneumonia shot at the same time.

 

Both of those are right angle, which routes the cable upward when plugged in (on the garmin mini at least, not sure for other cameras). My camera is mounted on the drivers side behind the rear view mirror

 

Both are right angle, but opposite directions. One would end up routing it up, the other down. So you have the choice on which direction you want it to go.

 

Installed the Garmin Dashcam Mini in my 2020 today - easy and seems to be running with no issues.

 

Nice!

If i could just comment on something. Your camera is looking into the sky. If you move it down a bit, it will still record everything in the front and it will have a bit wider view on the sides.

Something like this.

 

Is overheating still an issue with this setup? Or any reports of system issues after install? Seems that was the case early in this post. Thanks for the feedback.

 

No overheating here. I drove on hot sunny days and the camera felt warm, so no issues.

 

Thanks. Adapter out at Amazon but says available at Dongar. Decisions! Thanks again.

 

Thanks - I'll play with the angle! I was just happy to get it installed and working with no issues.

 

I did this install a few months ago with the OG adapter (haven't noticed any heating issues yet) and a

What's that in front of your truck, looks like an Indian mound?

 

It's our septic mound.

 

Should have stayed with the burial mound. Sounds cooler.
