I would guess that the FE is a special edition Premium, so they lump it in with the Premium? 🤷‍♂️🐩
Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to update this yesterday when I ordered one, FE is now listed on the supported model list. When I saw that, click, it was ordered.

Mine is being delivered today, I'll update how it goes. I am using a Aukey DRS1 dashcam which has supercapacitor for brief recording in an event of crash and no power.

Update: Took 15 min to install during luch break. No issues powering the dashcam, taps into 12V +ve & -ve... uses a 12V DC to 5V DC asyncronous buck converter. <$3 in components, still the installation is clean.

Here is a How To video that may be of assistance for alternative installations. Good luck! You got this!

same. Installed today and took 15 min, super easy and clean look. My dashcam uses usb-c though, so I had to buy a usb adapter and usb c cable since the Dongar only came with micro and mini usb cables.

Did anyone have issues with it causing you to lose connection with your app. Everyone I try to install this, I have connectivity issues.

Did you have any luck since then? I just got this adapter and will try installing it in the next few days. Initial thought is it seems cheaply made, but will be easy to install if it works. More to come.

Ours has been in the MME for about a year now and no issues.
