Abstract:
A vehicular camera system includes a black-out layer disposed at an upper central region of a windshield as installed in a vehicle, an attachment member configured for attachment at the upper central region of the windshield where the black-out layer is disposed, and an accessory module including a camera. The accessory module is configured to detachably mount at the attachment member at the windshield such that the lens of the camera is spaced from the windshield, and such that the camera views forward of the vehicle through an aperture in the black-out layer via a tapered structure that is widest at the windshield and that tapers from the windshield towards where the lens of the camera is located. The tapered structure is at an acute angle relative to the vehicle windshield. The camera captures image data for a driver assistance system of the equipped vehicle.

Claim (Index 7):
The vehicular camera system of  claim 1 , wherein said accessory module comprises a first portion and a second portion, said first portion extending upward when said attachment member is attached at the upper central region of the vehicle windshield where the black-out layer is disposed and when said accessory module is mounted at said attachment member, said first portion having a mirror mounting button, said second portion extending horizontally and rearwardly from said first portion with respect to the vehicle windshield when said attachment member is attached at the upper central region of the vehicle windshield where the black-out layer is disposed and when said accessory module is mounted at said attachment member, said second portion comprising electronic circuitry, and wherein an interior rearview mirror assembly comprising a mirror casing and a reflective element is mountable to said mirror mounting button, said second portion extending from said first portion above the mirror casing and being at least one of viewable and user accessible above the mirror casing when the interior rearview mirror assembly is mounted to said mirror mounting button, and wherein said second portion is movably attached to said first portion and is movable relative to said first portion, and wherein said second portion is pivotable relative to said first portion about a vertical pivot axis to adjust the angle of said second portion, and wherein said second portion comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of (a) a display element and (b) a user input device associated with at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) a compass system of the equipped vehicle, (ii) a microphone system of the equipped vehicle and (iii) a garage door opener system of the equipped vehicle.
