USB port management if the Dashcam update in Rev 9 takes 1 port

[RenMan68]

Has anyone successfully used a Mac OSX "MS-DOS(FAT)" format with the dashcam?

Yes. No problems.

Ah, ok. I only saw the on-screen release notes that mentioned the Tescam folder. There was no mention of a dedicated drive.

See this thread...it's possible to partition a USB thumb drive for music and TeslaCam. It's working great for me. Still takes up a USB port though.

USB Splitter for Dash Cam & charging dock

I'm going to wire my Aukey 12-volt to USB up to the front cell phone dock area using the method RPM Tesla did for their wireless install (once my angled micro-usb cable arrives this weekend). Will make it easy to convert that to wireless Qi fast charging in the future once I settle on something.

Does anyone know what USB cable they used? It looks nice and thin. I want to run under the trim like they did. Ideally I would use an usb extension cord. But I don't know if I can find one thin enough. I really wish tesla put a 12 outlet in the front area! I really don't feel comfortable cutting a hole in my 60K car to add a 12V outlet myself!!!
