mangoal Dashcam Power Adapter 3-Pin for Subaru Models

Mangoal's Dashcam Power Adapter Model A is a custom 3-pin plug harness that powers compatible dash cams and mirror cameras from the Subaru overhead console with a clean, factory-style connection.

This hardwired adapter converts the Subaru 3-pin connector found in many overhead/dome light cavities into a regulated 5V/2A output, supplying power only when the vehicle is on. It eliminates visible cigarette-lighter cabling and provides three interchangeable output leads (Mini-USB, USB-C, Micro-USB) so you can match the cord to your dash cam or mirror camera. Before purchase, confirm your Subaru’s overhead connector type—the adapter fits vehicles equipped with a specific 3-pin port and is not universal across all trims or years.

How do I know if this adapter fits my Subaru?

Check the overhead console (dome light cavity) for a 3-pin rectangular connector; that is the port this adapter mates with. Compatibility can vary by trim, options, or factory wiring, so vehicles that look identical on paper might differ in practice.

• Fits Subaru models with a 3-pin overhead connector commonly found in many Forester, Crosstrek, BRZ/FRS, and GR86 trims.
• Some cars may have the plug installed even without auto-dimming mirrors—visually verify the connector before ordering.
• If uncertain, send a photo of your overhead connector to Mangoal Support for confirmation.

What devices will this adapter power and what are the limits?

The adapter supplies a regulated 5V at up to 2A through one of three included cables (Mini-USB, USB-C, Micro-USB). It is intended for dash cams, mirror cameras, and other in-car devices that accept 5V USB power and draw less than 2A.

• Includes Mini-USB, USB-C, and Micro-USB outputs; not compatible with barrel jacks or RJ11 connectors.
• Not suitable for devices requiring more than 2A or different voltages—check your device specifications first.
• If your dash cam requires a barrel-style connector or higher current, use an appropriate adapter or power solution instead.

Will this adapter provide parking-mode power for my dash cam?

No. The Mangoal Model A adapter powers attached devices only while the car ignition is on, so it does not supply continuous power for parking surveillance. Power starts and stops automatically with the vehicle to avoid battery drain.

• Designed for ignition-switched power; not intended for 24/7 parking monitoring.
• For parking-mode you’ll need a dedicated hardwire kit with constant 12V output or a separate battery pack.
• Automatic on/off behavior prevents accidental battery depletion when parked.

How easy is installation and what support is available?

Installation is plug-and-play for compatible Subaru overhead 3-pin connectors—no cutting or splicing is required. Mangoal provides product support if you need help confirming fit or routing the cable during installation.

• Plugs directly into the factory 3-pin overhead socket in compatible Subaru vehicles.
• No vehicle wiring modifications needed for supported configurations.
• Mangoal Support can verify compatibility from photos and advise on routing and connector selection.

Who is this for? The Mangoal Dashcam Power Adapter Model A is ideal for Subaru owners who want a tidy, OEM-style power solution for a dash cam or mirror camera that accepts 5V USB input and draws under 2A. It suits people who prefer hidden wiring over a cigarette-lighter plug and who have the factory overhead 3-pin connector. If you require constant parking power, a different hardwire kit or external battery is recommended. Always confirm your vehicle’s connector before ordering or contact Mangoal for compatibility help and installation guidance.
