This would have been far easier than running a new line around my windscreen and down to the fuse box on my S2000...I could've just piggybacked off the auto-dimming mirror I had installed previously. This is brilliant.

Will this method also work for dash cams with parking mode?

It doesn't look like it. An auto-dimming mirror is on switched power, which only provides 12V when the car is turned on. Unless the auto-dimming mirror also has Homelink, there's no constant 12V going to the mirror. Same goes for the rain sensor.

I have it installed on my 2 Lexus vehicles (2020 GS and 2019 RXL)

For the 2016-2020 GS/RX:

I'm seeing it go really fast when I was getting it also. I'm looking to get one for my other vehicle also.

On Dongar's website, it says the adapter works on 2015 - 2020 GS350. But I have a 2013 GS350. Did anyone have success installing the adapter on their 2013 model?

The 10-pin type B works well in my 2013 GS350.

make sure that your red wire is plugged into pink, and i think black goes to green
