What the !!!!

You mean that I have to wait until July before I can use it?


Lol. Seems these things (from what I've noticed on Techmoan) universally
use 3M VHB tape. From the following you should be OK, maybe heat up the
car inside hot with the AC to get rid of moisture?

"Temperatu
Ideal application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
Pressure sensitive adhesives use
viscous flow to achieve substrate contact area. Minimum suggested
application temperatures:
• 50°F (10°C):
3M™ VHB™ Tapes 5952 and RP families.
• 60°F (15°C):
3M™ VHB™ Tape 4941 family.
Note:
Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below these
suggested minimums is not recommended
because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once
properly applied, low temperature
holding is generally satisfactory.

Anyone any comments

BTW where is the best place to put it?


Depends on the size, ease of wiring, access to the memory card, look
from the outside, screen visbility etc...

If I had an excuse for one, I'd mount it behind the driving mirror - and
probably I'd buy a second one for the back ...
