cepwin Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I noticed on my rear view mirror there is a dark spot it the middle on the top. If I recall there was a compass on the car I test drove but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I should add I have the navi so I see a compass there. Is it broken?? Is there something I have to turn on??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWBarrett Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Must have been some other car - there's no compass in the mirror. That's probably the sensor for auto-dimming when there are bright lights behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cepwin Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 OK..thanks! I ended up running into the dealers (to pick up my old tags and scraper) and showed it to them and they said the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotomoto Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Since you have an SEL, look on the exterior side of the windshield near the mirror and you'll find an identical spot. This is the rain sensor for the auto-wipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
