Dongar Classic Dashcam Integration USB-C Power Adapter - Clean Mirror

In this review of the Dongar Classic Dashcam Integration USB-C Power Adapter (DCA-10D), the bottom line is simple: this is for drivers who want a truly hidden, plug-and-play power solution that tucks a dash cam behind a powered rearview mirror. Installation is straightforward for compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM models, and the adapter converts mirror power to stable USB-C output so a dash cam receives reliable power without messy cables. The unit is best for users who need ignition-only power rather than constant parking power.

Key Features

• Plug-and-play installation: Connects directly to the rearview mirror wiring to hide the dash cam cable behind the mirror without cutting factory wires.
• Wide device compatibility: Provides USB-C power for many USB-powered dash cams and accessories including Garmin Mini series and Vantrue models.
• Vehicle fit guide: Tailor-fit 10-pin Type D harness designed for select Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM mirrors to simplify installation.
• Smart power control: Powers accessories only when ignition is ON to prevent battery drain and avoids constant-power parking mode by design.
• Safe output ratings: Delivers multiple USB-C voltage levels up to 18W (5V3A, 9V2A, 12V1.5A) for stable supply to supported devices.
• Complete kit included: Ships with the USB module, vehicle harness, a short USB cable, and an installation manual so no extra parts are typically required.

Who It's For

This adapter is ideal for drivers of supported Mopar vehicles who want a factory-quality, hidden dash cam installation with minimal fuss; installers who value preserving a vehicle's original wiring and warranty will appreciate the non-permanent connection to the mirror harness. It is also a good choice for owners of USB-C dash cams and accessories that expect ignition-switched power rather than constant 12V.

Customers who need 24/7 parking mode or a constant 12V feed should look elsewhere or use an additional converter and a constant-power solution, because the DCA-10D is designed to switch off with the ignition. Buyers must also confirm mirror compatibility for their exact model and year before purchase.

• Prevents battery drain by supplying power only when the ignition is on.
