Dash Cam power

[Texasram1]

How does one open up the rearview mirror housing/casing to gain access to whats inside?

Does the snow chief group w aux switches have a harness/connector that can be used for power inside the cab? Found this guy by the pedals and it looks like the same connector used for it in the engine bay.

That looks like the upfitter jumper connector D2621A.

It's used to bring BAT and IGN power to the rear of the truck and has 1-2 passthru circuits in it depending on model year.

Anyone done a dash camera install yet? Looking for the switched power to tap into. I'm thinking i'll find some in the mirror or under that massive cover on the windshield. Any tips taking that thing off so I don't snap any plastic clips?

AUX pass-thru wiring.

mine is a '19, yes Did you just buy the parts from the dealer, or is there someplace putting together a kit?

For 21+ you'll also have a D2433A white connector hiding up behind a wire bundle with 3 additional pass-thru circuits and a ground.

Look at my edited post. There should be FOUR new pass-thru wires. Probably just blunt cut taped up in a bundle. Oh ok, cool. Before I saw your update, I figured out that that W550 wire looks like it goes to "U" which is listed simply as "Dash pass thru." I just popped the hood to look for...

Being pass-thrus, I take it that there are no hot +12v as-is either in the grey or white connectors, and I will need to loop some pins/jumpers to get achieve that?

The grey connector has 12V BAT and 12V IGN sources. The jumper that goes there carries that power to the blunt cut wires at the rear of the truck. You can pick power there or remove/repin wires if you don't want it at the rear.

The Pass-thru circuits are used primarily to loop AUX power back into the cab.

You can also pick power in several other locations inside the cab. There's 12V BAT at the base of the driver side A-pillar under the dash side panel, and IGN power in the the center overhead console if you have autodim or better rearview mirror that's also connected at the base of the Passenger side A-pillar under the dash side panel.

A little more research: Appears the answer is "no" or at least not in a simple way. Apparently most of the parts/pieces for an aux switch install are available but integrating them into a truck that was not originally equipped requires an elevated level of tech savvy.

Please review the posts/threads I linked.

That said, I'm going to try to make a post that consolidates all the in cab power sources as we get so many questions on them.

I did read the threads, but I still wasnt sure on the availability of bat or ign power.
As i have snow chief but not the upfitter package, any chance you have the p/n for the harness that plugs into the grey connector?

Thanks for all of the help!

If you have Snow Chief, you have AUX swtiches.

The grey jumper, black jumper (goes in white) and Aux power leads are all in the same bag of parts that comes with the AUX option.

Don't confuse these with the VSIM that I think you're calling "upfitter."

Ok, ive now got the harness in there. But neither of the loose wires have +12v via bat or with the ignition on.

The red&white and pink are both looped. Do I need to tap into one of them to find the IGN power?

The blunt cut wires are the pass thru circuits G425 (VT/YE) and W550 (BG/GY). The other end is in the AUX plug and a blunt cut BG/GY wire under the hood.

Yes.

The BAT and IGN are on the jumped wires A500 RD/WH pin 3 to pin 4 (BAT). F606 PK/OG (IGN) pin 6 to pin1. That jumper carries the 12V to the blunt cut wires on the back of the truck frame.

I can't be any more clear than this. It was all in the few posts I linked earlier.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out. Much appreciated.

Oh boy! Looks like I'm going to tackle this exact project for the BlackVue dash cam I just purchased. Going to be lots of fun!!! I purchased the Dongar adapter for using the power at the mirror, thinking that would be easiest. However, my unit receives 12V power from a 3.5x1.1mm plug. Can't seem to find a USB to 3.5x1.1 mm plug cable to make that happen from the Dongar adapter. Looking for a workaround, but thinking might as well hook up the BAT power to use the parking mode, as this can be disabled in the dash cam settings & usually my trucks' parked in garage.

I've not taken anything apart yet. Is this picture the driver side A-pillar as Jimmy mentions in post 7? Is there any place in the driver side A-pillar to find ignition (ACC) power? Or, any suggestion as to best place for finding both with minimal disassembly? I've read this & other threads, yes. I don't have Aux switches.

Thanks.....

Passenger side should be pk/or for the mirror used or not. Same circuit that's in the mirror if you have auto dim or better.

Thank you. Sounds like: 1 - Driver side A-pillar for BAT & GND. 2 - For ACC either passenger A-pillar or at mirror. Yes, I have auto-dim. I'd guess easier to tap into A-pillar wiring than at mirror.

Running into a problem. While I was able to easily get to the power wire at the mirror & the Dongar connector fit just fine, things didn't work. Finally determined that the wire at the mirror has insufficient power. Only tested at 3 volts, and I need 12 to run the dash cam. Also, determined that pink/yellow wire at passenger side is also 3 volts.

I returned my original purchase. Donger contacted me and said the incorrect adaptor was packaged by them. I received a full refund and purchased another, so see if this one fits.

I just wanted to follow up on this, I contacted Dongar today and they originally sent the wrong adaptor (Toyota Tacoma) due to some packaging issues. Even though I ordered in January and didn't contact them until today, they are sending the correct adapter out with apologies, great customer service!

Same thing happened to me, and they told me the same thing. They sent one out that day and I had the next day and it worked perfectly. Got a ninety-degree USB cable to make It cleaner. Only issue is I can't use my sunshade now, may have to make a cutout. Pic from the last roadtrip, I keep it behind the mirror so it's not in my view.

What is the screen mounted to the top of the dash?

If you find your dashcam falling off your windshield due to the heat causing the adhesive to "let go" you can always screw it into the bottom of the mirror shroud. (I would take it apart for this to see what is there.) Couple of zip screws and its been there for close to two years.

I found this connector and it was not connected to anything. I think red wire from this one is on when truck is on.
