Recently purchased dash cam adapter for our Mazda CX-5. I believe this product is compatible with Mazda CX-5 (2017-2021) and CX-9 (2016-2021) models with frameless rearview mirrors. The adapter used in my video is for my frameless mirror, however if you’ve got the non-frameless with Homelink, you will need the ’10-pin Type A’ which I’ve also listed below. Feel free to comment if you have any questions. Cheers!

just tried to install using this method today, it seems like it would work but i got the wrong adapter, i dont have the frameless mirror so i bought the one labeled as such in your description but it doesnt fit, i need the one you labeled for the frameless mirror. it seems like the differentiating factor is the auto dimming function not whether or not your mirror is frameless. i have a 2021 CX-5 grand touring reserve
This video was a lifesaver. Thank you for detailed walkthrough. Got my 2020 CX5 connected in minutes!
nice vid, but wait 2021 cx5 , and you already got bigger infotainment ??? mine is 2023 ,and its so lame !! daymn you mazda!!
Thanks for the vid, wanted to know about rear view camera, this just frontal i guess
Excellent video! I suspect this Dongar kit will also work in my 2024 Miata, which has the same frameless mirror and a similar camera housing.
Thank you this is so helpful!!
very helpful!
Hi friends, having a quick question around the installation of dash cam by using the Dongar Adaptor
Is the power of the dash cam goes off after the engine's off?
After that, my engine light was on.. So I have to remove it.
Do you know what max current you can draw from that connector?
I used Garmin products when I was flying. Quality gadgets.
Thanks for the info. Just bought a CX5 Turbo.
Appreciate the help.
will it only have power when truned on ?
A very good explanation and Happy Easter greetings from England.
I too have a CX-5 2023 model. The coloured(English spelling sorry) tool can be acquired from the iFixit tool kit selections. I carry mine always because I use it quite often on a number of things.
Your method is one option for the dash cam but I need to go into the cabin fuse box for hardwiring as 'parked collisions' where the offender drives off, there's never enough charge in the dash cams on-board battery to capture the offender.
Ask me how I know? I had 7 occasions over a two-year period, where I had to pay the excess on my insurance to get it repaired.
The police were not interested, my landlord has a CCTV system installed but refused to hand over the data.
I have had to install my own CCTV wirelessly-linked to my phone and stored into the cloud on a monthly subscription. I can view 24/7 and not miss an event.
I could offer this as a surveillance service to my neighbours(English spelling sorry) but they and their visitors have hit my vehicle and driven off so that option is off the table!
There's the option of a OBDII adapter and my favourite(English spelling sorry) is a battery bank that is looped in between the USB port and the dash cam. I have a rear dash cam installed for rear collisions.
Oh! Supermarkets are the worst here in England. A lot of drunk/drugged drivers too!
Sorry, for the long-winded essay as I am autistic and write as I speak with no expletives or superlatives.
I am a good citizen and try to help others where I can.
I am also a disabled/handicapped driver, vehicle technician and toolmaking engineer.
Best Wishes.
Anyone know if this works for all 2019 trims? I have the touring model.
Does the dash cam power off when the car is turned off to prevent battery drainage?
You can actually run the cable out from the bottom side of that plastic cover. There is a slot there thick enough to run the cable through. That way you can use the short cable they provide instead of having to bundle all the excess cable inside the cover.
NGL THIS IS WHAT I NEED AFTER WORK ILL INSTALL MY DASH CAM IN MY 2024 Mazda cx5
I wonder if the 2024 model is similar. Picking my new car up today and will eventually want a dash came as well. I hate all of the wiriing, so if this works out for 2024, i am all for it. Wonder when cars will come out with dash cams as "standard" hahaha!
The very funny thing is he is wearing the hat HYUNDAI 🙂
