so today i'm going to show you how to install this
usb dash cam adapter for your homelink mirror as you can see all it really is is an
inline adapter with a couple wires coming off to power the usb port for the dash cam
should be a pretty easy install let's put it in so this adapter eliminates the need
running the usb cable all the way down and around so the first thing you're going to want to do
is you're going to want to rotate your mirror down and out of the way second step is going
to be putting your index finger up above this u-shaped piece here directly above the stem
of the mirror and just kind of hold that because it's going to want to go flying as you pry it off
that piece set that aside and to make this a little bit easier to remove this clip here
i'm just going to use a flathead screwdriver to push the button
now the next step that you're going to want to do is take your adapter
you're going to plug this freehand cable
into the back side of that connector
and then you're going to take the other end of that
plug that back in
and now you have a little bit of cable here that you're going to want to tuck up in here which
you can do just like so
now you have your usb cable free floating here
i'm going to clip this right here where it needs to be about i'm going to take
the existing amount of cable and i'm just going to tuck it up find that plastic shroud
now i'm going to plug into the usb cable i'm going to take all this excess
i'm just going to tuck it up in there
where it will hopefully not rattle around
and that's in there pretty tight so i don't think there's going to be much rattling
now before i turn the power to the car on i'm just going to connect my camera
just mounts magnetically right there
and you just heard the camera make its startup sound which means it now has power
so that's a good sign
there's the shutdown sound and that means that it just lost power from the car so now
it's running on its own internal battery okay so something i realized is that to put that cover
back in place this connector can't be sitting right here because it prevents the clip from
engaging so all i'm going to do is take that connector and i'm going to swing it around
to the left side now that it's on the left side there let's see if we can get the cover in place
but it's a nice clean install last step is just going to be readjusting my my mirror so on the
way out i'll give you guys a little glimpse of what my efficiency has been the last few days
