Dongar dash cam adapter installation. Anyone done it yet?

Should we be concerned they didn’t let you test the final version or just wing it and hope it’s great?

Good question. I thought they would wait for me to test the final product before selling it, but I guess they‘ve already committed since they’ve completed a mass production run. I assume it will be fine.

It‘s also available through their Amazon store if you’re into that sort of thing.

Yeah pretty much everyone in Hawaii. Free shipping. Though I haven’t looked closely at the brand website yet.

How hard (for a neophyte at such things) do you think it is to run the wires to the rear for a rear cam and properly hide them?

I don’t think it would be too difficult, but they didn‘t send me a rear cam to test.

Will do. I'll create a new thread about it with pictures once I have the production version.

Well, I decided not to wait for the final product since FITCAMX has already posted them for sale. New thread is here:

Ummm, I think they sent me the wrong one... I haven't cracked my mirror bezel open yet but can anyone confirm if the Mazda one is the same as the Ford one?

Been a little while since I installed mine, but that looks wrong. I don't remember the clips being that fat.

EDIT: Yea, that's the wrong one -here's the Ford one from a Youtube video:

Definitely wrong one and won't fit

I just did this install on my 22 Select and it works like a charm. Took all of 20 minutes. The only thing I'm slightly worried about is I mounted my dash cam on the right side of the rear view mirror and I appear to be right in front of a light sensor of some sort. So far it's not caused any issues but I may need to move it over to the left if that sensor ends up being super important.

Thanks for confirming before I take everything apart. I contacted them yesterday and they confirmed and are shipping me a replacement.

Not 100% sure but it seems that way based on what I have seen. The cameras draw very low power. Back connects to front. Front connects to USB adapter on dongle.

Here is a photo of my adapter installed and the wire routing before sealing it back up.
