Hello. Since this dash cam gets powered with my car cigarette lighter, which usually has my phone charging adapter plugged in it, can I charge my phone by plugging into dash cam's USB port? null

I purchased a dual adapter that enables me to plug the camera and my phone charger both into the ‘cigarette’ port.

Hello,

Thank you for your question! While it's possible to plug your phone into the dash cam's USB port, we do not recommend using it for charging as the camera may require more power than the USB port can consistently provide. This could result in unreliable performance or underpowered operation. As an alternative, we suggest using our hardwire kit to power your dash cam, which ensures a stable connection and frees up your cigarette lighter for other devices like your phone charger. We appreciate your understanding and hope this helps!
