Presumably the device will do the recording with the screen turned off, so it will generate little heat internally. So I think placing most of the device behind something to shield it from sunlight should be enough to avoid heat issues.
Though I agree with others here that a cheap specialized dashcam device is much better.

- olyjohn 3y agoGood luck. As soon as you tilt the screen towards you so you can read it, your dashcam is now capturing video off at some weird angle.
- groby_b 3y agoStill won't be enough. Driving I-5 from LA to SF on a reasonably warm day (85+F) means the phone will shut down within the hour if it's on the dashboard. I've specifically gotten a phone mount that attaches to the AC vents for that purpose. I appreciate the thought, but unless it works up to at least 140F, it won't be useful
- michaelmior 3y agoI always have my phone screen off while driving since it's hooked up via Android Auto, but I've had my phone shut off many times on warmer days. I'm not sure how I could reasonably shield it from sunlight and use it as a dash cam at the same time.
