Quick question
Anybody know what is that device on the roof on top of the driver side sun visor? Microphone? I thought the microphone is next to the sunroof controls.

It's a small LED light that shines onto the steering wheel towards the Circle L on the airbag. It is illuminated when the car is stationary.

Just flip your driver sun visor to the side and you will see it on the roof.
