Hi guys, so glad I found this forum because I have a quick question.
I drive a 2013 Volkswagen Passat and have been meaning to get a dashcam for a while. I'm pretty set on the Aukey Dual Dash Cams, but I have an annoying problem where I haven't been able to get any of the cigarette lighter ports in my car to work for quite some time now. I know it's possible to wire it into the main car system, but I'm technologically hopeless and terrified I would mess it up and brick my car or something. Has anyone had any success using a rechargable heavy-duty battery, like you might for a phone, to power your dashcam? I only drive for about four hours at a time max so it really wouldn't need to last that long. Or if you have some ELI5 soldering advice I'd be happy to take that too.
