mounting on plastic mirror housing

[jcbvr76]

So I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize as I couldn't find anything specific. I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe and with the new cams utilizing adhesive would it be feasible/wise to mount the cam to that (see pic). It seems like a fairly flat surface.

That's where I've been mounting my cameras almost exclusively for many years now. Been working out just fine.

Best place to put cam?

I know the best place to typically place these cams is in the center usually behind the mirror. Problem is my car has a lane keep system located behind the mirror, kind of like in this image http://cdn0.mos.techradar.futurecdn.net/art/car tech/2017 Ford Fusion/2017 Ford Fusion mirror-420-90.jpg...

You probably need another model of the 3M tape as the ones provided are tailored for use on glass.

I once had a BOX analog camera with 27 X optical zoom attached to my mirror stalk, worked just fine.

That specific part is plastic and just pops right off, and the OEM replacement part comes pre-painted. You can find them from any Mazda parts store online - usually they are connected to a physical Mazda dealer, so you know you're getting a genuine, new part. Definitely easier than trying to repaint it yourself. Source: me, whose CX-5 is on its third passenger side mirror in Deep Crystal Blue.
