Dongar Y splitter does not fit Porsche
This is my 3rd Dongar splitter install. Perfect fit for my other 2 cars to power a dash cam from the mirror. But this splitter has a socket that does not match the power plug on my Porsche 718 Boxster GTS despite Dongar saying it's a match. Nope. Returned it. Waste of my time.

Not really for a novice
It is a well made product and if I find someone to install it for me then I will add a review on function but I do not think this is what you want if you have not done multiple installs as it was easier to fish a wire around the whole windshield and dash than getting this to work. However, if you are good at this kind of thing, this would be the way to go.

Great for dash cam installation
Confirmed this adapter works with a 2016 Cayman. Made installation of a dash cam a breeze and allowed for a super clean install. I wish it was switched power only, however.

Super clean and minimalist install
Saw this in my feed and picked it up to hopefully make a clean install for a radar detector or dashcam but it's taken me a few weeks to get the time.I have a 991.1 turbo s and the hardest part of the install is getting the light panel and plastics down. You really have to know where the clips are and pull quite a bit harder than expected.That said, this particular adapter and goes into the interior light panel for power.I like the fact that it's USB and comes with 3 cords (mini, micro and usb-c) or if you have something else like a usb-uniden connector you could plug that in.SUPER simple to install once you get the panels off without breaking them and it's pretty minimalist so also fairly easy to put back together, just a really clean install if you take your time....and even then it's like 15 min to do this.There are various different adapters depending on what you want to plug it into (switched or always on power, etc.) and I'm going to pick up another dongar adapter and see if I can plug it into one of the other ones and get both radar detector and dashcam going. I think I have room in the overhead area but it is pretty crowded.This is SO much nicer than a fusebox tap or pushing pins into existing connectors.100% recommended.Hope this helps!

Seamless Dashcam Power Solution for Porsche Enthusiasts!
I recently purchased this Dashcam Power Adapter for my 2018 Porsche Boxster, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. This innovative device provides a seamless and efficient solution for hard-wiring a dashcam directly to the rear-view mirror power source.The compatibility with my specific Porsche model, the 2018 Boxster, was a significant factor in my decision to purchase this product. The 3-pin Keyway 2 design tailored for select Porsche vehicles, including the 991, 911, 718, and 981 series, ensured a perfect fit for my auto-dimming mirrors.One of the standout features of this adapter is the built-in USB power source. This thoughtful addition not only powers the dashcam but also provides an extra port for charging other devices, adding a layer of convenience to my driving experience. The incorporation of this USB port sets this adapter apart, as it adds value beyond its primary function.Installation was an absolute breeze. The user-friendly design and clear instructions made the process straightforward, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy. The seamless integration with the auto-dimming mirrors made it virtually invisible, preserving the aesthetics of my Porsche's interior.I appreciate the attention to detail that went into crafting this adapter, ensuring it not only meets but exceeds the expectations of Porsche owners. The fact that it worked flawlessly with my 2018 Boxster speaks volumes about the quality and precision of this product.I highly recommend it for its compatibility, ease of installation, and the added bonus of a built-in USB power source. It's a must-have accessory for any Porsche owner seeking a top-notch dashcam solution.

Works fine. A bit costly
For just a few wires, this is a bit expensive. But it serves its purpose.

Easy install, works perfectly!
I installed this in a 718 to provide power *after* the ignition is switched off. Their other product, the Keyway 1, is for ignition-switched power. Other than where each plugs into the car (dome light vs another plug an inch away) they're basically identical in installation and look.Plan on 30-60 minutes for installation. It's easy to install with the included plastic tool and an old credit card. This is a small amount of typical trim/plastic removal, and I followed their posted 718 video to walk along. If you need to stop half way through and drive the car w/o the dome light panel attached, as I did, you'll get an air bag light on the dash which goes away as soon as you restart the car with the dome light reattached. Fishing the usb cable through to the windshield marked the half way point for me.Putting the dome light panel back on was bit of a tight squeeze, and although it is electrically/functionally possible to have both the Keyway 1 and Keyway 2 installed at the same time, IMO space limitations means you won't be able to put the panel back in place. Please post a review if you happen to get both installed! :)Power-wise this worked perfectly for a dashcam I have. Plugging my cell phone into it as a quick test, it's actually putting out quite a strong charge! My off-hand estimation is it's certainly more than the factory arm rest usb provides.Don't hesitate to pick one up!
