GPS Dash Cam Power Adapter (10Pin Type A Connector) - Hidden Rearview

Our review of the GPS Dash Cam Power Adapter focuses on drivers who want a clean, hidden power solution for a dashcam, mirror camera or GPS without tapping into fuse boxes or adding bulky adapters. The single biggest reason to buy is its novel power source: it draws power from the auto-dimming rearview mirror so the cable is plug-and-play and largely concealed behind the mirror. For anyone fitting a compatible Subaru, Nissan, Infiniti or select Mazda models, this adapter simplifies installation while keeping the dash tidy.

Key Features

• Rearview mirror power: Uses the auto-dimming rearview mirror as the power source so the dashcam cable stays hidden and installation is straightforward.
• Dual USB outputs: Two USB adapters are provided, each supplying up to 5V 2A so you can power a dashcam and a secondary USB device at the same time.
• Included USB cables: Micro, mini and type-c USB charging cables are included to match common dashcams, GPS units and accessories.
• Wide vehicle compatibility: Designed for many select Subaru, Nissan, Infiniti and some Mazda models and can fit other cars with the same connector style and pin count.
• Plug-and-play installation: No complex wiring taps are required according to customer reports, making it suitable for drivers who prefer a quick install.

Who It's For

This adapter is ideal for owners of compatible vehicles who want a discreet way to power a dashcam, mirror camera or GPS without running wires down the A-pillar or using a visible cigarette lighter dongle. It suits do-it-yourself installers who value a tidy cabin and minimal wiring work.

It is less suitable for vehicles that lack an auto-dimming rearview mirror or for devices that require a 12VDC barrel jack or 12V via RJ11, since those power methods are not supported by this USB-focused adapter. Buyers uncertain about fit should verify their mirror connector pins and appearance before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Hidden-power design keeps the dashcam wiring out of sight for a clean install.
• Customers report easy installation with no complicated wiring taps required.
• Dual 5V 2A USB ports and included USB cables make it versatile for multiple USB devices.
• Manufacturer offers replacements or refunds and extra USB cables on request.

Cons

• Limited to cars with an auto-dimming rearview mirror connector of the correct pin configuration.
• Each USB port is best kept under 2A, so high-current devices may need a separate power source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work if my device needs a 12V barrel plug?
It will not power devices that require a 12VDC barrel jack or power over RJ11; it supplies 5V via USB only.

How do I know if it fits my car?
Compare the number of pins and the appearance of your rearview mirror connector to the product images or tell the seller your car model for fit guidance.

Can both USB ports be used at once?
Yes, both ports can be used but each is best kept at 2A or less; unplug one if you only need a single device to reduce current load.
