This tutorial shows that it only takes about 30 minutes of time to take a regular OEM Window Mount and drill a proper-sized hole so that the lens will be exposed when driving. This way you can take full advantage of free Android apps like the Daily Roads Voyager to record videos while driving.

List of Tools
I used five drill bits to complete this project, starting from left to right in the order in which they were used. Not pictured is a cordless drill.

- Wood Drill Bit (used only for the sharp point on the end to make an indent
- 1/16th inch drill bit (you could use any small sized bit to start)

The largest drill bit I used for actual drilling was a 7/64th inch, but the hole that was drilled is a bit bigger in size). You could probably go up to a 1/8th inch drill bit or a bit bigger

That's a really cool idea. Would be nice if there was, maybe there is for all I know, an app that recorded your drive in the background even when the GPS is on.

It looks like that app you linked to does indeed work in the background. Might have to do this myself.
