Good evening everyone. I did a search in the forums and through Google and can’t get any good information on this: I have a Dongar Technologies mirror power splitter for a dash camera. I want to install it on my 2014 Lexus RX350. I’ve managed to get the top half of the cover going to the power/automatic dimming rear view mirror, but I cannot figure out how to get the second part off. Anyone else gone through this? If so, any advice for removing the piece/installation of the power splitter?
I have not removed that piece but do you really need to remove it, as it would most likely require messing with the head liner. The wires are running down the piece you have marked and should be accessible on the mirror end.

Thanks for the response, but I really don't think that they're accessible on the mirror end. The mirror is on a ball pivot of some type from what I can see. I'll look again in about an hour or so to verify that. But basically, I want to split the power that goes to the automatic dimming mirror to power a dash camera. I'd love for it to be accessible on the mirror itself, but I really don't see that being the case.

did you ever figure out how to remove that housing? Just picked up an RX 2013 and looking to do the same exact connection with the Dongar adapter.

I'll be honest with you, I messed around with it some more after the fact, but I never really felt particularly comfortable pulling on the top part of that housing without some sort of a guide to proceed. I've basically put it on the back burner for now. If you give it a crack or have any other insight, please do let me know.

Ah, ok. I’ll get to installing it here by the end of the month so will keep you posted on it or if I end up going a different route. Thanks
Hey OP, I also bought a Dongar Technologies mirror power splitter for my 2011 Lexus RX 350. Which model adaptor did you get? I picked up the 10-pin Type B connector and it ended up not fitting. After further research, I think I need the 14 pin version, but of course - it's sold out
BTW - your package should have included one of those tiny pry tools for interior plastics. It worked very well in getting the housing off.
