Hi All -

While driving this morning I reached to adjust the rear view mirror on my '02 CL LS430 and felt a strip of very thin black paper like tape along the upper left hand side of the mirror approximately 1/2 x 5 inches long. Having never seen or noticed it before, I peeled it off and on the other side was what looked like metal circuit board diagramming. Whoa, replaced it but am still wondering what it controls or if it's even necessary.

Btw, could it be part of the long gone Lexus Link circuitry which was replaced w/ a remote/sunglass case above the rear view mirror after Lexus discontinued Lexus Link?

TIA for any insight

 

When the men with dark suits and sunglasses knock on your door, tell them it was an accident and that you really don't mind them knowing everywhere you go and who is in the car with you.

 

No kidding, Caddy. Don't think that didn't cross my mind ...

 

sounds like someone put one of those cheap cell phone signal boosters on the mirror. usually you put it inside the battery compartment on the phone but people who believe those things work aren't always the brightest
