Problem with Dongar adapter

Hi anyone have issues with their Dongar adapter USB not giving power?

I have a 2019 cx5 grand touring.

I purchased the Dongar Adapter type D and was able to install it properly. It clicked, fits and shows my auto-dim rear view mirror with power (green light is on).

However, when I plug the usb wire from my dashcam to the Usb on the adapter, it doesn’t turn on. I return the wire to the cigarette power below to make sure wire works and it does.

I thought it maybe the wire is finicky so I tried diff wires, didn’t work.

Thought maybe it’s the dashcam, so I used another cam - didn’t work either.

Now I thought maybe I received a one in a million defective Dongar adapter, so I replaced with Amazon and same result with the new adapter.

I’m scratching my head as to why something so simple is not working.
