There is another crazy option using the on-board cameras we rc plane guys use.
These have a tiny transmitter which could easily transmit to any location in the car (where the recorder is housed), however there is the question of longevity of the transmitter on long trips of several hours as they do get warm.

I should add, some of the power outputs on some frequencies are illegal in the UK for civilian use.
It's a quiet difficult project and a spare rear view mirror would help. There is a question where to locate buttons, moving them from the PCB shouldn't be a problem, cut out for a memory card could be located somewhere in the bottom. Biggest problem would be the LCD, ideally so it will look like that

but as they are dimmable, this might be the biggest issue.

PCB is very small


Other idea I mentioned could be slightly possibly slightly better, mounting just the lens in the mirror's housing and having raspberry pi in the glove box together with the hard drive or some sort of storage device plus this
