Dashcam installation issues -- fuse box location?

[tmrqs]

Tesla and rivian are able to use the built in cams as "dash cams" ... that would really be nice... hopefully an update can enable?

Never going to happen… would be great, but about 0.0000001% chance of this happening. And I’m rounding up.

So I was looking at locations for where I'm going to put everything (dash cam, toll tag, radar detector) and it looks like the dot matrix is flat despite being quite prevalant.

I'm a bit worried about sticking anything adhesive to the dot matrix. It almost seems like it is inside the glass. Not sure if anyone else has experience with this?

I would stick to what manual says:

Do not put it on the dot matrix. Here's a photo of the heated windshield, see the film is hash cut? you can place it over that hash mark for reception. If you have the standard glass, you can place the transponder/radar detector anywhere else.

They know their cameras suck so they would never do this... lol

For asthetic reasons I would like to put the toll stick where my radar suction cup is right now in the photo. My only worry is that it will pull the dots away if I ever remove it. Then again the dots really seem pretty flat.

i guess you could try putting the toll transponder on scotch tape, trim, and stick it over the dot matrix.

I’m confused: is this a thing, pulling the black matrix area out of the windshield when removing a device? Has this happened with Porsche (or other cars) and that’s why you’re apprehensive?

I’ve always put my transponders there (with the double sided tape that comes with the transponders), always removed it without any damage, this across different car makes.

Never heard of this concern so genuinely curious about this.
