Today I added a temporary dash cam in our Ascent. I'm planning on ordering and installing an entire (permanent and hardwired) set up that will cover the front, rear, and both sides. Leaning towards the new Viofo A129 Duo, two sets.
I remember hearing from a few of you that you cannot put anything on the windshield because it could interfere with the EyeSight cameras. Even Rain-X... However, doing my research on this, I found an older bulletin (2014) giving guidelines on where you can mount devices "safely" on the windshield and that shouldn't interfere with the EyeSight cameras.

Hoping the template the bulletin provides can be applied to our Ascent as well, I used it to figure out the placement of the temporary dash cam. The new dash cam will go in it's place but will be mounted directly to the windshield with 3M tape and not with the suction cup, so it will sit lower/more flush with the windshield (which the bulletin recommends, no higher off the glass than 1.5").
So far everything appears to be functioning properly. We haven't had any prompts or warnings from the EyeSight cameras yet using the suction mounted temporary dash cam.
