DreamCatcher88 Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 None of these options were compatible with my 70 plate CEED SW or my facelift ISG 2 22 plate sportage. The second picture illustrates the surplus amount of wire on the main feed line. It is evident that I have collected and secured this excess wire using a cable tie to prevent any tangling. The green tape indicates the use of a piggybacked jumper. The last picture displays a size comparison between the smallest component of the NB HW kit and the micro2, which is the required component. Observe the blades on the NextBase kit one; they exhibit noticeable differences and are not sufficiently close together. The second one was provided by NextBase customer support promptly after contacting them via phone and was sent by first-class post the next day.

Rudy7831 Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 The most optimal option is to get a Dongar, since it is far simpler and does not need any additional wiring, save for the connection between the rear view mirror and the camera.

DreamCatcher88 Posted June 27, 2024 Author Share Posted June 27, 2024 What is the definition of a dongar? I am unfamiliar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamCatcher88 Posted June 27, 2024 Author Share Posted June 27, 2024 Thank you for responding. I am uncertain if this will be compatible with both my dash cam and my 2025 Kia MHEV AWD GTs Line. Would I need to use a USB A to HDMI adapter in order to provide power to the dash cam from this adaptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMarauder Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 I have successfully installed the Hardwire Kit, which included the appropriate Micro 2, to enable continuous 24-hour monitoring of our dashcam in our third NQ5 Sportage.

MidnightMarauder Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 The GT Line S is compatible with the DashCam since it has a power dipping mirror. It is worth noting that DashCams typically do not use HDMI as their major power source. The available options for the connectors are Micro USB, Mini USB, or USB C, all of which include a USB A connector on the power supply side.

DreamCatcher88 Posted June 27, 2024 Author Share Posted June 27, 2024 Apologies, the power socket requires a 5V DC input and may be connected via a USB A cable with a 5V DC power connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMarauder Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 The connectors are components of the adapter leads that are included with the dongle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab60bit88 Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 I have used a Dongar adapter in all of my present vehicles and would be pleased to provide my advice. In order to install a rear dash cam, you will still need to locate a power source. I managed to connect it to the power socket in the trunk and concealed the wire well, ensuring that it is not easily noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another_clean_sheet Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 Good quality, but expensive for a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrr010 Posted June 27, 2024 Share Posted June 27, 2024 Retrieve the components and assemble them into a single unit at a reduced cost. In my perspective, this plug and play solution is a hassle-free and cost-effective option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
