We all understand that there is a limit of allowable temperature. The problem is that this limit is set too low. A better approach is necessary here. Have you oven-tested to see if the limit can be raised? Garmin did that successfully with their 55, and Blackvue did that with their DR900.
I would suggest turning off the inside cabin cam during parking and reducing the resolution or bitrate or both as a better way to reduce heat. It is not usually necessary to have high-performance images while parked since most of what the cam 'sees' will be moving slow and will be close-by making good images possible with lower performance levels.
As this cam functions now, for half of the year or longer at least half of the world will find parking mode useless. Most people want a usable parking mode so I think you will lose sales if this cam becomes known to not have some type of reliable parking mode which can be used most of the time in most places.
