The better question is why were they using the car port? Most dashcams come with power adapters to plug into a standard fuse box and can be very easily routed through interior panels with basically no tools, no permanent modifications, and absolutely no expertise required.

Why do they only have one working car port anyway?

Yay! There are dual USB adapters. And the system puts out lots of wattage

“lots of wattage” is debatable

Most cars, especially older ones, only have one cigarette lighter. How many cigarettes could you possibly need to light?

All of them.

The cigarette lighter port is not a great connector because of how big it is, and it’s pretty inconsistent when it turns off between cars (never does in 2007 Škoda Fabia). I replaced the dashcam adapter’s contacts with wires and installed it in the fusebox (accessible when driver door is open), branching off the headlight adjustment servo fuse. No loose cables anywhere.

Both of my dash cams came with a dual port adapter
