Any Idea what This Electronic Device Mounted Above My Rear View Mirror Is?
I just noticed it for the first time when I was going to put my EZpass there. There are wires coming off of it hidden along the windshield frame. It is stuck to the window with two sided tape. It is rather narrow. I have a factory installed radar/laser detector. I have seen the laser sensor in the bumper, could this be the radar sensor?
