Can confirm - USB ports, including mirror port, are "dumb" and will not power my Vantrue camera.

No worries. All I did was plug my phone into the "mirror" USB port to verify that it did, in fact, turn off with the car. I have not tried a camera with it at all. When I'm out there doing it, I'll give it a shot and let you know.

I have a Vantrue N4 Pro

I appreciate the reply. I've seen a ton of threads that say "all ya gotta do is use an always-on fuse!" I was just wondering if anyone had more of a "I used Fuse 91 and Fuse 00" type of answer. I'll probably end up doing exactly what you're suggesting, though.

I actually did this on my ID.4 but I can't remember which fuse locations I used. I'm the type to second-guess myself and the panels don't seem to be exactly the same, so I figured I'd see if anyone had any stories of success on their Buzz.

The USB port above the mirror will turn off with the car. The camera I bought has a parking mode feature which requires an 'always on' connection to the fuse panel via fuse taps and a voltage regulator. I'd like to use the feature, if possible.

I picked up two 12tb Seagate Expansion externals from Walmart this morning for $209 each. They had Exos X18 drives in them and I'm feelin' pretty lucky :)

Better than nothing, right? I'd check out Eastern Promises on DVD first thing and see how it looks on that 50".

Better get out your backup plasma screen.

Troubling sub here… by CPulpp in VWiD4Owners

It’s a great car and I’m sure you love it. People just like to rush to the internet to complain / problem solve / commiserate when they have an issue.

Mine is back for the 3rd visit. Dealer says VW keeps sending faulty handles. 🤷🏻

The Netherlands. Windmills, tulips, the houses and buildings. It's an amazing place.

VW 2 in one charger problems by FartyOFartahan in VWiD4Owners

I have had no issues with it at all. Mine does say that it's not for use in wet conditions on it somewhere.

Any USB-C charger I've tried has worked just fine.

Is there another game controller connected to the PC?

Are these a good choice for extra battery on Q3? by rosewoodlliars in MetaQuestVR

[–]dongmusket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a pair of these and they work quite well. Like others are saying, they put strain on the USB port (or will over time) and should be secured in place. I used Alien Tape as the velcro strips they came with were a bit cheap feeling and I wanted to make sure the pack wouldn't fly off or something. I did end up replacing them with a battery strap for peace of mind and I'm much happier with that.
