Designed for Select Honda and Acura Vehicles
This power adapter connects a dashcam to the 7-pin Type A connector found on the rearview mirror of compatible Honda and Acura models. It provides a built-in USB power source so the camera can run without occupying the vehicle’s main accessory outlet. The kit is intended for owners who want a dedicated, vehicle-specific power connection for their dashcam.
Clean Installation with Hidden Wiring
The adapter plugs directly into the mirror harness, allowing the power cable to be routed behind interior trim panels for a tidy appearance. No splicing or permanent modification of the vehicle wiring is required, and the connection draws only the low current needed for a typical dashcam. Normal operation adds negligible load to the vehicle’s electrical system and produces no audible noise.
Sustained Power for Long Shifts
During extended driving sessions such as rideshare or delivery routes, the adapter maintains a stable USB output without overheating. The direct mirror connection avoids the voltage drops that can occur with long accessory-port cables, so the dashcam continues recording reliably over many hours. Users should confirm their specific model and year are supported before installation.

Questions about this item
How do I route the adapter cable to the rear-view mirror without blocking the driver’s view?
Plug the 7-pin Type A connector into the mirror harness, then tuck the cable along the headliner and A-pillar trim using the supplied clips so it stays hidden and clear of the sightline.
Will the USB port or the adapter’s internal fuse need replacement after extended daily use?
The internal fuse is the only serviceable part; if it blows from a sustained overload, replace it with the same rating — the USB port itself has no user-replaceable components.
At what continuous current draw does the adapter’s protection circuit cut power during long trips?
The built-in fuse opens at its rated amperage, which is the first limit reached under sustained load — the adapter does not have a separate thermal shutdown.
