@Ruissimo @Tsturbo you can see my parking mode adapter prototype in action here: Also forgot to say that our output is USB-C so you can run 5V/9V/12V devices from our port whereas the thinkware OBD adapter is 12V output. Garmin OBD output is 5V USB output. So the Dongar unit is the most...

So our unit is simply a power supply. In the thinkware U3000 case, the power supply (OBD power adapter in your case) powers the front camera. The rear camera is powered from the front camera as it is daisy chained to the front. If your camera already comes with the OBD power adapter, it would...

@Tsturbo OBD power is a good solution! Also checkout the Garmin OBD unit which has very nice power electronics, timer mode, and low voltage cutoff protection on it: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/735279/pn/010-12530-23 Not all vehicle's OBD port has an ignition-switched power pin and I'm not...

@BlackTaco that is some smart money my man!

The 10-pin is occupied but the harness fits right in-between the OEM harness and the mirror. You'll see a video demonstration in my own '24 Off-Road

@Kjc hey Kevin (my name is also Kevin), you can check out the two products with additional explanations and video tutorial here: https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/dongar-adapters-install-your-dashcam-in-minutes.4618 I would recommend the 10-pin Type B because it's USB port windshield...

That really sucks man! Yeah would probably be a long time to source OEM parts... and not cheap. I'd bet you're out of luck on an insurance claim in Mexico so I would probably just live with it for a while and maybe source parts in the future. Also, my shop specializes in dashcam installs and...

this particular insurance company doesn't offer coverage for business use, or at least just wasn't interested in covering me. I can argue all day long that any joe schmoe selling one thing on eBay and dropping it off at UPS store is also business use but they just weren't willing to hear me out...

haha... I agree... I was born and raised in the SF bay area so roots and family make it harder to leave though

Got this juicy letter in the mail: Story time: Insurance company called inquiring about how I own so many vehicles (5x vehicles, single, unmarried) and asking what I did for work. I mentioned I'm self-employed (more specifically I'm an employee of my own company) so they asked what I'd be...

A lot of the Ford guys use our adapters + a USB to RJ11 step-up (5V back to 12V) converter like this: https://www.stickerfab.com/products/21offroad-5v-usb-to-12v-rj11-escort-valentine-uniden-radar-detector-power-cord-universal. Note that not all USB-to-RJ11 adapters are made alike... most of...

Another forum member has brought to my attention that the 4G Tacoma domelight assembly might have 4 red 'clips' that must be released (instead of just the 2,+ sliding, in my video). Regardless of the domelight assembly, you'll still find the white 5-pin connector immediately in the cavity on the...

Hey Tacoma4g forum! We're Dongar, a small Northern California based company offering the most innovative dashcam installation products on the market! :) Did you know that Toyota placed two plastic covers over the 4g Tacoma fusebox? This means you cannot use a hardwire kit for your dashcam...

How to access the OEM dashcam connector in all 2024+ Tacoma: Please note this video features our parking mode adapter & 5-pin pigtail which isn't due for release until around late July. These install steps are still roughly the same for this in-stock product...

How to access the OEM dashcam connector in all 2024+ Tacoma: Product shown: https://dongar.tech/products/toyota5pin. Check my signature for discount code. FYI we are releasing a parking mode adapter around August... same install steps but completely different product.

Yeah, PM your email address and shipping address and we'll figure something out.

Unfortunately at least another 2mo from now... we're working very carefully on electrical design and our extremely engineer wants to swap out some components and increase the amount of copper in the pcb for heat performance at really high limits. Either of our 10-pin Type B or 5-pin Type A...

Testing battery levels with the BlackVue in parking mode and the Tacoma full OFF with my Fluke 289 logging voltage over a 24hr span. The BlackVue 970x measured about 7W power consumption (parking mode, rear camera on, no cellular enabled). The brand new 12V oem Tacoma battery dropped from its...

Quick demo of our 10-pin Type B adapters, restocking this week! This version turns on with vehicle ignition. Upcoming parking mode adapter comes with 5-pin, 10-pin, and 12-pin pigtails to allow installation in all 4g Tacomas, and most 3g!

Installed the rear camera on the BlacVue DR970X-2CH, then added a USB-A to USB-C+MicroUSB splitter to power my Radenso DS1 and Garmin Mini 2! The coaxial rearcam cable included with the BlackVue is super neat to tuck into the headliner, and right under the A & B pillars! The cable has a good...
