Hey this is above my mirror and my dad and I have wondered what it is for, possibly security system? I don't have one that I know of but I suppose it's possible.

I always told people it was my security camera or hidden camera for when I had the back seats laid down and I was entertaining a lady friend, later found out it was just the keyless entry. I still tell people it's a camera though.

There was a thread on NAXJA a while back. They had a guy GOING for days about that thing.

He was paranoid as hell.
