Rear view mirror usb
Does anyone have the optional usb c port near the rear view mirror and use it for a dash cam? I picked up a new kamiq recently and only just got a usb c to micro usb cable. When I connect to the the USB port, it doesn’t power the camera. I can charge my phone from the USB port. And the camera works when the cable is connected to a mains USB adapter. So I’m guessing the problem is that the USB port doesn’t supply enough power. However, I assume that the whole point of this port is to power a dash cam given its position. Has any had any success in this area?
Don't have one there on mine.
I would have thought it would be the same power output to all USB ports??
Perhaps try a different cable. I found that when I was using C to C for my phone, one cable didn't work, but another ( better quality) one did.
Good luck with it.

I have a usb c port by the rear view mirror.
I've bought a really decent dash cam but it needs to be connected for parking monitoring. Does this usbc power constantly like a hardwire (as I was sold by the skoda dealer) or is this just another usb port for when driving?
Hardwiring will be a pain in the bum!

In this thread it would appear that it operates only when the ignition is on.
