Dash Cam Powered by Rear View Mirror

[DB74]

Has anyone fitted a dash cam using the power from the rear view mirror? I note that https://dongar.tech/products/ford3pin make the adaptor for a lot of cars including Ford but not sure if it fits the Puma. Thanks

Well the Puma does have Auto Dimming rear mirror so potentially it could work

I'd be interested to see results as it would make the installation process more easier and maybe better than conventional methods

reading the compatibility chart it only fits 2 cars,the escape and the ranger so unless your in the states then not much use really,a good idea though but it wouldnt work if parked up,shock sensing etc as there would be no power to the mirror

The connection looks the same shape but it seems there is a left and right version and the Puma appears to be opposite to the dongar one. I was looking for a quick fix for driving only as 99% of the time the car is parked on the drive but looks like I may have to complete the full install.
