YOUR GLOVE BOX LIGHT IS ON
The Dongar model works great with my 2021 Lariat Powerboost Hybrid with my dash cam. Even comes with a very short Micro and Mini cables but no USB C port, not that my camera takes it Powers on and off with the ignition, I have the Copilot 360 Assist cruise control. Ill take a few photos once I get it set the way I want and tidy and secure things up with some zip ties. In the meantime saving me from trying to run a wire around the windshield was worth the $30ish it cost. Pure plug and play unplug your existing connector from the mirror plug it into the back of the dongar, plug the dongar into your mirror. Easy peasy! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088P4VFQ...t_i_YAJ6E3XY3CC4WDX1SKFD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

BOUGHT THIS AND IT WORKS GREAT

BMWtoFord, where did you run the wires? Up the a-pillar? did you have to remove trim, etc,?
It runs down the A Pillar to the back of the BCM. I had a stereo/truck wire when the put my Retrax Pro on. They threw it for free.

Looked at this last night and what little probing I did I was not able to find a pathway from the passenger footwell fuse box to the a-pillar. Need to try some more.

I verified today that BlueCruise, Lane Assist, and Active Park Assist all work fine with the Dongar Technologies adapter plugged in and powering a device. No issues at all and a very easy install.

I was able to run the wires last night. I ran three 16 gauge wires down the a-pillar. I put the wires in some braided nylon loom, removed the a-pillar trim, and used factory wire retainers (unused). The hardest part is getting the cover off of the grab handle.

Hi all, anyone know the type of fuses, specifically the smallest, in the BCM fuse panel? They are either micro2 or mini.

Thanks.

Sorry for bumping up an old post but for you guys that bought the dongar adapter, does your dash came restart when your engine turns back on from start-stop? The camera stays on when the engine shuts off but restarts as soon as the engine fires up again. Not sure what's causing this.
