It took more time trying to get the rearview mirror trim off. Completely plug and play, even I could do it. Unplug the port going into the rearview mirror and plug in the adapter.

I bought a 12in usb connector for my dash cam. I could have easily used an 8in adapter. All depends on your cam placement.

Does the adapter plug in under the larger shroud on the windshield? If so I’m in.

I found this post with some tips on removing the rearview mirror housing. I haven't tried it myself yet...

Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

You may have missed my point, I have the cams set to continue to work while parked until the battery is down to 11.8v then it shuts off. Hoping the 48v batter keeps the 12v battery charged letting the cams work for a much longer period of time. But why? Any decent cam has a parking mode so it...

The dashcam would need a short micro-USB to USB cable (mine came with one). You plug the USB end into the $20 adaptor in the first post and then plug that in behind the mirror housing.

This video kind of shows how it works...

What did you do to your Ram today???

I just got it installed today so no leaks yet. The shop said if it leaks to take it back though and they will fix it. I’m taking it up to the snow in a couple weeks so we will see how that works out. Haha I am not fan of the bulkhead gasket. It is a foam so it does get soaked and then it leaks...

Bumping this. Sorry I know its a bit old.
Have many people tried this? Trying to find more info. It steps down to 5v as well?

I read on another thread (don't remember which one) that this is not a good option for our trucks. Something about the voltages.
