Subaru EyeSight Dashcam Selection and Placement Guide

The best dashcam for Subaru EyeSight is compact enough to sit outside the prohibited windshield area. The owner's manual for the exact model year—not a generic mounting diagram—decides where it can go.

A Subaru EyeSight dashcam must be mounted without entering the stereo-camera exclusion zone or creating reflections that affect the system. Subaru's published guidance warns against placing accessories in prohibited windshield areas, and those areas differ by vehicle and model year.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where should a dashcam be mounted with Subaru EyeSight?

Use only an area permitted by the exact model-year manual. Subaru guidance says not to place accessories in the shaded prohibited zone around the stereo cameras.

Can a dashcam interfere with Subaru EyeSight?

Yes. A camera, mount, cable or reflection in a prohibited area may obstruct the stereo cameras or affect their view.

Is behind the rear-view mirror safe for an EyeSight dashcam?

Not automatically. On some vehicles that location overlaps a restricted area, so consult the vehicle-specific diagram.

What type of dashcam suits a Subaru Forester with EyeSight?

A compact model with flexible lens alignment can be easier to place legally and outside EyeSight's exclusion zone; fit matters more than brand.

Should Subaru install the dashcam?

A Subaru retailer can clarify model-specific restrictions. If using an independent installer, confirm that they will follow the EyeSight manual and protect airbag paths.
