    Anyone out there tried powering 2 USB devices from the mirror using something like the Dongar adapter? I'd like to avoid pulling panels and running wiring but I'm not sure how much wattage/amperage that mirror is getting.

    Determine what fuse the mirrors run off. Then are the mirrors powered when the key is ACC.

    I'm ok with the power being switched, the dashcam has a supercap and I don't need the GoPro to run full time. I use it for time lapse on road trips.

    should likely be fine on both of those. I run a dash cam with no problem before. I would assume both run very minor draws. worse case you blow the fuse and remove both.
