I have installed at least 5 different dashcams between my 2020 and 2023 tourings. A couple of them have been installed at the same time. Lots of wires! As anyone who's reviewed the Eyesight manual knows, there are "forbidden" zones on the windshield where accessories aren't supposed to be mounted. The stereo cameras before 2023 forbade almost the entire windshield; the 2023+ triple camera forbids a smaller overall area but still forbids "prime" real estate for most practical camera locations.
I installed some of my cameras directly below the central monocular camera housing because that is where the camera needed to be for best front and rear viewing. It didn't seem to matter as the Eyesight seemed to behave as it should.
Or did it?
This week, I uninstalled a large 4 channel camera from directly below the mono cam housing. There has always been a camera there since I took delivery 1 1/2 years ago.
Well, the first drive without a camera there and a car entered my path from a side street. Not close enough for me to want to react or for Eyesight to emergency brake, but I did get an information display message of "Obstruction Detected". It has happened a couple of times since then. I don't ever recall getting one of those messages before so maybe there really are reasons for complying with the Eyesight "forbidden" zones.
