I've done this but mounted low on the windshield.  It would have to be on a
4-6 " stalk to mount on the dash so I could see straight out the back so I
chose  to windshield mount it.  Works fine in conjunction with the regular
mirror.

Had to have it mounted at a windshield shop.  The adhesives I could buy at
my FLAPS just didn't hold no matter how carefully I followed their
directions.

YMMV
