This is surely an outlier opinion, but for me any dashcam with a screen is a no-go. The screen adds needless bulk.

Can't understand why the Dongar adapters are so popular. They are bulky and needlessly expensive. If you need power from the rearview mirror you can get it for $5 with push pin connectors, less if you make them yourself.
Probably because most people don't know that, and of those that do, they don't have a guide to follow.

Expensive? They are cheap and much easier then running wires.

$50 vs $5 qualifies as "Needlessly expensive" IMO. And there is zero running of wires with pushpins. Stick them in the back of the rear view mirror and call it a day. No unsightly adapter hanging back there.

When it’s tucked up behind the rear view you don’t even know it’s there, but ok 🤷🏻‍♂️

The $37 adapter is a classic case of time (and know-how) vs. money. If you've got a description of the work to be done and maybe some photos and where to get parts, that could help people with the know-how. For many people, by the time they figure out the pin-outs, how to get to the wiring, and where to source the parts, the $37 adapter seems worth it.

I’ll spend my money the way I wish.

I love my Wolfbox 90 pro, but I do wish they had a polarized lens cover for the rear camera.
