Great job, OP!
I'm interested in a dashcam/radar detector kit!

Are you recording directly to your iPad? No SD card on the camera?

You can buy the cover on eBay...
I used a MOBIUS dash camera with the lens extension cable... you can remove the housing and glue the entire board inside the housing but for access sake I left the housing on. |

The reason I did this was so it was oem and I didn't have to look at something hanging off my windshield. With this setup, I'm able to do everything from my glovebox without touching the camera. EDIT: I was considering drilling holes in the mirror housing to fit the buttons in like they are on the camera, but haven't tried it yet. Last edited by Pawlin; 01-23-2015 at 02:01 PM.. |

Question how is video/pic quality of the cam?
Does it handle glare from the sun well etc... Very interested to have this on my car as the setup does look very OEM.

Radar-Mirror.com has developed a proprietary process for converting mirror coatings to a custom transflective mirror that allows the display to illuminate through the glass and then vanishes when turned off. This means no unsightly patterns are etched out of your mirror and the process is 100% reversible.

It seems that the original housing has few ledges that stay between the windshield and the light censor and hold it in place. Did you use double sided tape on the new one? I am afraid if I use double sided tape it won't hold during the summer. TIA |

I purchased a couple of the plastic BMW mirror housings to modify.
I'm looking at a camera called the INNOVV C3. http://www.innovv.com/ It's supposed to be designed for motorcycles, but might work in this application. It looks like the cable to the lens can be extended even longer than the cable that is supplied with the camera. I'd like to mount the recorder in a readily accessible location, perhaps inside the console armrest storage compartment.

If you remove the high beam function sensor you'll be able to fit the camera there. As for the power source I suspect it is powered only when headlights are on. Also you will need adapter from 12v to 5v and it is not clear what voltage is supplied to that sensor. Another drawback would be that you won't have access to the camera without opening the housing. The ideal setup to me is as OP explained.
