I recently took the dash cam out of my car when trading it in, I only remembered on the morning it was due to go so I left the cables and thought I would just buy new ones.

Luckily I had some spare sticky pads in the box that fitted the mounting brackets perfectly which is good news, but when I look at the instructions it refers to both cables as "Mini-B" this cant be right as they are obviously different, one is to link the front and rear cameras together and the other is the power cable.

Can anyone help with the type of cables I need?

Top right is a Mini-USB, but the other two look proprietary. It looks like a Mini-USB may fit, but there is no such thing as a mini-USB male to mini-USB male cable.

All I can find is that these are a proprietary Aukey cable, based on USB mini B 5pin standard, I can't find a stockist anywhere though I'm afraid,
My only suggestion is to contact Aukey (service@aukey.com) explain the situation and see if they can help.

Thanks for all the help guys, I have now given up on looking for a cable as I cant find one anywhere.

I contacted Aukey and got the below response...

Sorry, we don't have the cable separately.
And this order is out of warranty.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,
Customer Service Team

Looks like I am going to have bin these and buy a new set, seems like such a waste.
