No but my Qashqai does and it is not an issue. I believe it’s only about 1 stop of exposure value even though it looks dark. The cameras have auto exposure and compensate well.

[ My first post on volvoforums.org.uk. I am in the US but like to see what is going on in the EU! ]
I have never had a Dashcam before, but after getting rear-ended (yep, the month old XC60), I decided to give it a go. I initially tried the front windshield location for a couple of days to see if there was interference with the Intellisafe as I have seen reported. I didn't have an issue. Ended up with a permanent mount for my Garmin DC55 on the rear hatch and it's been in place for about 2 months. No issues. I plug in the power in the rear 12V, very easy. no issues with radio that I can tell but we don't have DAB in the US, do we? I listen to FM (Digital) and stream Spotify to phone mostly. I have the power wire in the gasket. very easy. the cable loop needed for the opening is more than I would hope for but I just deal with it. not a problem. My installation at the moment.... not sure of the posting syntax here, so I am going to try what I use over at Swedespeed. there should be three photos taken today. Cheers, Ed |

where are you guys placing the front cam? I am tempted to the front side of the rear view mirror or just under the intellisafe box in the middle

Best place is high up a few inches to the left (passenger side) of the intellisafe casing where it’s out of the way which is where I mounted my Blackvue 750 Dual Channel camera.

Ensure that you leave enough room to remove memory card if fitted. I read a report on here of a dashcam fitted with glued pads too close to the radar pod and the card could not be removed, and it was fitted by a so called professional.
