Help identifying connector

Im installing a dash cam on my 2021 XL. I saw this connector above the rear view mirror and i was wondering if there is 12v there or even better of someone already makes a usb conversion? On a side note, what are the two green wires for?

I brought in 12V from an upfitter switch via a pass through wire to the passenger side kick panel. I connected that to a fused cigarette lighter socket and plugged a USB adapter into it. Now, I have 12V and 5V (USB) available. Ran both up the A pillar to the mirror area where I have a dash cam that takes 5V and a back-up camera display that takes 12V. Probably not the most elegant solution, but it works and everything is hidden.

That's what I may end up doing, garmin has a hard wire kit. Furrion makes a dash cam?

My dash cam is a Garmin. The Furrion is the monitor for the camera on the back of my 5th wheel.

I just bought and used this dongle that connects to my powered rear view mirror, this works on 2022 F250 Lariat, I’m not sure if they carry other models but the usb connector works flawlessly without having to run additional wiring.

These are what I was looking at. I'm just not sure if it will fit the plug in the picture I posted. I wish I could find a wiring diagram for that connector.
