Hey all, first time post. Had a heck of a time trying to find a ground point, with a couple washers and a nut, was able to attach to an existing exposed bolt.
Front view - not sure how I feel about the placement, but it's nearly invisible to passenger and driver. Not as clean as I would have liked. Maybe someone could opine a better place, open to hearing suggestions

View of camera placement from side. Honestly with the shaded area of the windshield, I didn't want it to interfere with the video footage. I also wanted to run the cable next to the mirror console. I would have liked it higher near the roof panel for a more cleaner look without wires, but i guess this was the best compromise...

Underneath the dash trying to find a ground point, I attached to an existing bolt. I tried just using a nut, but it wouldn't screw all the way, so I added two washers and it provided the firm contact I needed for the ground. This was by the far the hardest part of the install, only because i didn't have a socket wrench.
