USB male > USB male connector/adapter

[slim_boy_fat]

I'm looking to replace my rear-facing A805 dashcam which has turned up its toes, with a Mobius one gifted by a Member on another forum.

The A805 has a micro [?] male usb connector from the power lead, but the Mobius has a mini usb connector of the business. I was hoping a small male>male adapter would be available which would save me having to replace the existing power lead which runs from the boot, behind the rear parcel shelf and up behind the screen rubber trim to the camera location.

I've done a Google search but can't seem to find one which is guaranteed to fit. Anyone confirm the situation re availability or otherwise of what I'm looking for? Feeling a bit inadequate here....

Female to male.

John, look on eBay. I got two adapter leads for my trail camera to mobile phones.

Thanks, lads. I was hoping to find just a small 'box' with the required connectors, one at each end and no trailing leads - the smaller the better.

i reckon those things would work - just a bit of plastic holding the adaptor on usually, not wired on!

You can get these on Amazon, there maybe more that’ll suit your application

12 types here for a fiver (first set I found)

Not saying any of them will fit, I think you would have to accurately ID both of your connector ends to be sure.

You see this sort of thing in Texaco garages, £4.99 when you spend a tenner on fuel...

Thanks, I saw those. If they did a cross between 3 and 6 it would be perfect. I'm beginning to think what I'm looking for may not exist, and I'll have to renew the power supply cable right back to source in the boot.

Oh well..... Appreciate the search efforts, lads

Theres loads on ebay, one of the first that comes up

You can stack adaptors if necessary.. you might need a bit of hot glue to hold them in place if you end up with more than a couple

 

[slim_boy_fat]

I think I may have found the solution

Will have to check the connector in the car, but it's raining atm so...later.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

As you were.

Dopey here's just been out to check the connector in the car....it's a male micro USB which plugged into the old camera base, so I had the wrong end of the stick in my original post .

Sorry for the confusion [and wasting your time ], I've ordered one which should do the job - then discovered that other listings had pairs available for less than I've paid for one!

I sense this may not be my day.....

I have found and d/loaded the manual for the Mobius though - I've printed it out and will bind it into a mini 'booklet' with my comb binder.

I bought a bag of random adapters from Amazon, quite a few are against the std but those are the most useful usually
