I started driving a Subaru Outback in 2019. The issue with this car for a dashcam is that the Starlink head unit screen and illuminated side buttons (GPS navigation/map, audio, etc interface) creates an unavoidable reflection in twilight and at night (example attached). The dashcam's circular polarizer doesn't have an effect on this reflection.
The only solution I can come up with is to place some sort of visor/hood at the top of the head unit to completely block it from reflecting in the windshield, but yet still allow the screen to be visible from the driver's seat. I'm ready to just fabricate this visor myself out of some type of black plastic material, but I was curious if there was a product that already exists for this purpose. I did a bunch of searches both on this forum and on Google for such an object, but came up empty.
