    I recently got an email reminder to pay for a toll via an e sticker thingamabob on my car.

    Problem: My car got stolen over a year ago.

      The good news is that the thief has been taking good care of your car.

    Why do they only have one working car port anyway?

      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

      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.

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

        “lots of wattage” is debatable

    Probably for the best - since the accident was probably little bro’s fault.

    Well if they’re lucky then their idiot brother won’t be making that mistake again.

    • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, what idiot blocks the charging port (cigarette lighter) and doesn’t give an alternative?

      Literally the first accessory I got with my dashcam was a lighter plug with 2 ports so both can be running at the same time.

      Narrator: They weren’t lucky.

    Should have given him a phone charger

    Anons brother was at fault in the accident n deleted the footage so he wouldn’t get in trouble… Assuming this isn’t fake, and / or…

    This is why you hardwire the dashcam.

    Who else had a older sibling buy a car for them (You) ?

    • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My parents bought mine, which I inherited from my older siblings (we shared the third car). It was a pile of crap and was older than all of us kids. In fact, after the first and second ones died (never drove the first, only drove the second for a few months), the third (the one I used the most) cost $150…

      My siblings helped me with them though, so I think it counts.

    Yep. My fam does the same thing.
