I am planning on placing a dash cam left of center (towards driver) behind rear view mirror. My hope is to place it as high as possible with the camera lens just sitting below the top center printed black dot pattern on windshield. I've recently realized that the rear view mirror has a light sensor on the backside of the mirror near where I want to place the camera. I'm wondering what effect a shadow cast from the dash cam onto this mirror sensor will have. Any ideas based off previous VW cars you may have owned?
Below is an image that shows the area highlighted in peach where I would roughly plan to place the dash cam. The camera itself isn't large and will sit flush against the glass. The 2nd image below shows an example of how the camera design would somewhat sit, but is shown on the wrong side of the mirror. 2nd image is just some random pic I found on the net, but is a good example of how the dash cam may overlap the mirror.
I prefer to place dash camera on the drivers side of the mirror to ease wire routing down to fuse box.
