First post, Hi.
I've just had the Volvo dashcam installed in our new car. They also installed in the wrong place, but in my case too far from the mirror housing and in my passenger's eyeline. The installation instructions are available online and clearly show the correct location. I complained and spoke with one of the technicians who readily agreed his colleague had fitted it incorrectly. Refit has now been done to my satisfaction. I would be concerned that if there is insufficient space to insert a SD card then you'll have difficulty unmounting the camera as I believe it needs to slide towards the mirror. I would suggest you get it refitted in the correct location.

UPDATE: Visited dealership and a tech person managed to insert the SD card with a sharpened pencil. Quite happy for them to do it, but I wasn't keen to try anything adventurous in case of mishaps.

I bought one of these a few months ago, and very impressed - super easy to fit, no cables to worry about, and seems to work well.
