2026 Mazda CX-5 PP DONGAR Mirror Adapter Heads Up

Hi all, I own a 2026 Mazda CX-5 Premium Plus, I originally bought a DONGAR DCA-10A (as recommended for the trim on their site) to power my Viofo A329S, and found out that the 2026 CX-5 is actually a DCA-10E.

Just in case anyone else is looking to install a dash cam in theirs.

Hi all, I’ve got a Viofo A329S I want to install in my 2026 CX-5, and I bought the wrong Dongar adapter (I misread, whoops!) before I order the recommended one:

Has anyone installed a dash cam on their 2026 CX-5? I’m curious if the Dongar DCA-10A that’s recommended actually fits the 2026 because the picture shown doesn’t look like the same connector as my mirror has.

I don’t have any issues getting the mirror plastic open (it’s just a little harder than previous models, and for anyone installing theirs, Mazda dealer told me instead of pushing your pry tool in the middle first, for the 2026 you need to pop the tabs at the top of the plastic closest to to mirror (right below the airbag and seatbelt lights) to get started.

Also open to other adapter options if anyone knows of one that works with the 2026.

Took home my Navy Blue 2026 Premium Plus a few weeks ago, but we’ve been in the middle of a move and lots of storms so I hadn’t had the chance to get a decent picture.

Coming from two Camry’s and a Camaro, I’m very happy with the interior and tech. The screen takes some getting used to compared to other cars with them but it’s been great for what I need and the climate controls were easy to get used to after a few trips.

Also, I did not realize how STRONG lane keep is on these, had to break a lane to pass someone and was surprised by the effort it took to do it because of lane keep.

Any recommendations for accessories? I have a dash cam I’m installing and it came with all weather mats and cargo cover.
