Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza 2017 hatch with Eyesight.
Australian model with right hand drive.
Camera:
Street Guardian SGGCX2pro.
I have mounted the SGGCX2Pro to the right of the Eyesight camera nearest the driver. This position also allows easy access to the camera buttons for single image or protected recording. The camera doesn't intrude noticeably into the drivers vision, doesn't extend any lower than the Eyesight cameras, and much less than the sun visor. This mounting location is also quite 'stealth', and is not obvious to a casual passer by. It does require the camera to be removed from the mount to access the SD card, but this has not turned out to be a problem, as the camera is easy to slide from the mount.
I originally installed the camera just to the passenger side of the rear vision mirror mount, but it sat lower on the windscreen, was not very accessible from the drivers seat, the buttons were difficult to reach and were not able to be seen from the drivers seat. The position was also slightly in the line of the Eyesight cameras. It is not known if the position would have actually interfered with the operation of the Eyesight system, but I wouldn't like to find out the hard way. That position did however allow access to the SD card without removing the camera from the mount. Mounting the camera high up to the left of the Eyesight cameras is not an option, as the windscreen wipers do not adequately clean that area of the screen.
I had to relocate the GPS aerial when the camera mounting location was changed. Fortunately, the SGGCX2Pro package comes with additional 3M double sided tape, so moving brackets doesn't require a trip to the shops to purchase more. The also included 'String' works surprisingly well to remove an attached bracket from the windscreen.
I originally used the flat mounting bracket, but have since changed to the also included wedge shaped bracket, to allow for increased space between the camera and the windscreen. This allows my internal reflecting windscreen sunshade to fit between the camera and the windscreen, and substantially shield the camera from the sun and prying eyes. The car is parked outside during the workweek day and outside temperatures reach high 30's to low 40's in summer (Celsius).
I connected the power lead to the internal fusebox using a 'Fusetap' type connector which was included in the 'SGG Series Hardwire power kit' that I purchased separately from SG. The kit includes the power wire (quite long) with a 12v to 5v step down transformer, and a 'Fusetap' connector (two in my kit). I decided to only have the camera operating when the ignition is on, rather than when in Accesories mode. I used the fuse slot indicated in the image below. Most of the fuse slots appeared to have the 'Positive' on the right side of the fuse, but this particular fuse slot had the positive on the left. I also found that the standard fuses (mini fuse) in the Subaru fuse box are a 'LowProfile' type without protruding legs, which will not fit in the 'FuseTap' connector. I purchased additional fuses (7.5amp) from the auto spares shop, with the longer legs to fit in the FuseTap connector.
