I usually just leave my mounted but it's so small that you can't really see it from the outside. Also I hate having to perfectly mount it everytime I start driving since a little bit of tilt (up, down, left, right) can mean a feet or so of the image not in the perfect position.

I just mount it behind the rearview mirror.. the cars I have, nearly all of them have the big rain sensors (which is a blessing because it makes tapping into 12V much easier).. so an added piece is not too obtrusive (besides BMW's mirrors are rather bulky to start off with).. besides since I do bolt mine down around the neck of the rear view mirror(not suction cup).. so it is covered by ICBC just in case.
I would be more worried about crossing the border (since I don't think you are supposed to be filming border crossings).. than petty theft. Especially border guards can randomly ruin your day base on their whim. Quote:

that eBay one came out to approx $30USD before taxes IIRC.
I see that it uses a cigarette lighter plug, so I'm assuming it's auto on/off. Question is, do you guys do a clean install (hidden wires etc) or just let the wires run down your dash in plain view?

Last question before ordering it, can it be mounted "upside down" as in the suction cup goes to the top. The videos will then have to be rotated with a computer software right?

as requested, here is my "review".. even though i didn't review on anything  you can be the judge!
anyone know how to embed facebook videos? www.facebook.com/v/10151022473460217
