arob.sco Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The dome is the light sensor for auto headlamps though I believe it's empty if you don't have them. The top at the mirror contains the light sensors are used in the rain detection for auto wipers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Actually the one on the dash is sunload sensor for aircon, and the box next to mirror is gps unit for emergency assistance feature through the sync module and a paired phone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheYoungGinge Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The dome also dims the interior lighting for those with auto lights. And does the above as Iantt said "Actually the one on the dash is sunload sensor for aircon, and the box next to mirror is gps unit for emergency assistance feature through the sync module and a paired phone."

JonnWhite Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 MY car has the thing above the mirror. You might not know it but your car will have dimming lights. If you change the dashboard brightness down and then when you drive around during the day with the lights on it will dim accordingly. I thought it was broken at first.
