Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter 10-pin Type H for Hyundai/Kia - Clean

In this review the Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (10-pin Type H) is evaluated for drivers who want a clean, factory-style power solution for a USB-powered dash cam in select Hyundai and Kia models. The single biggest reason to buy is its plug-and-play design that taps the rearview mirror harness so the dash cam wiring is hidden behind the mirror without permanent vehicle modifications. Installation is straightforward and preserves original wiring and warranty while delivering stable USB-C power to modern dash cams.

Key Features

• Plug-and-play installation: The adapter plugs directly into compatible Hyundai and Kia rearview mirror wiring for a hidden, factory-like setup without splicing or permanent changes.
• Built-in USB-C power: Converts vehicle power to USB-C output for reliable power delivery to USB-powered dash cams and other accessories.
• Includes installation tools: The kit ships with a pry tool and short USB-C cable so installers can achieve a professional finish with no messy exposed cables.
• Smart power control: Powers connected devices only when the ignition is ON to avoid draining the vehicle battery and to match typical driving use.
• Vehicle fit guide: Designed for a broad range of Hyundai and Kia models including Tucson, Elantra, Santa Fe, Sonata, Kona, Sorento, Telluride, and others when a powered mirror is present.
• Compact kit: The box includes the 10-pin Type H harness and a short USB-C cable so customers have what they need for a neat installation in most compatible cars.

Who It's For

This adapter suits Hyundai and Kia owners who want a discreet dash cam installation without cutting factory wiring or routing bulky cables across the windshield. It is especially useful for owners of models listed in the fit guide who have a powered or auto-dimming rearview mirror and who use USB-powered dash cams such as Garmin Mini models, Vantrue cameras, or similar devices.

It is not for drivers who need constant 12V parking mode power or who have vehicles with digital mirrors or unsupported models like some versions of the Ioniq 5 and EV6; those users should look for a dedicated hardwire kit designed for constant power or another adapter compatible with their mirror type.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clean, hidden installation that preserves factory wiring and the car warranty when used as intended.
• Built-in USB-C output that powers modern dash cams reliably while ignition is ON.
• Includes pry tool and short USB-C cable for a professional-looking install right out of the box.

Cons

• Not compatible with digital mirrors, some EV models, or for drivers who need constant parking mode power.
