I want to avoid using suction cups or tape since my windshield is tinted, what are some alternatives to mounting dashcam and interior go pro? is taping on the dashboard my best bet?

From what I've seen, yes. I love Ram mounts and saw they have dashboard options if you can't use your windshield.

My windshield is tinted. And I mounted it to my windshield w the provided double sided tape. No issues. I used to work for a car audio/video/tint/ppf shop. We did it all the time w no issues. Tint isn’t that sensitive.

I mount mine directly to the windshield which is tinted and it’s been that way for 5 months with no issues. The suction has even failed during some of the hotter days in TX and fallen off, but I just stick it back on no issue.

I didn't buy one yet, but I think I'm leaning towards a blackvue DR900S-2CH mounted via blendmount from @MyCorolla comment above.

I also wanted to mount a gopro / insta360 sometimes, but that's more of a temporary thing, judging from the other comments, I will most likely buy a suction cup mount and just temporarily mount on top of tint when needed

I was just a little worried since xpel prime XR plus tint was pretty expensive, so just didn't want to risk messing it up
