What is it?

[AV8B6015]

hey guys and girls,
I have a 2011 Ram Sport, and when I look up, in the center of the truck where the map lights and such are, I notice what looks like a camera in the middle. Looks like it's facing at a downward angle toward the back seat. Can someone enlighten me?

maybe it is the temperature reader for the automatic setting? just a guess im not sure.

Post a pic of it. But I agree, sounds like it part of the HVAC system.

It's a fiat spy cam.

I think this is the infrared sensing device that.." automatically checks the temperature of the driver and front passenger, as well as the air temperature inside the cabin to create a customized, comfortable environment."

We had one of these in our 2006 Commander. It looked like a little cemera lense. Except it was on the center of the dash right around the climate controls.

Sounds pretty cool, whatever it may be.

Here it is. Between the homelink buttons and the rear window button.

I bet thats for the climate control or (because of the angle) its a light sensor for your auto dimming rearview mirror. It'll be interesting to see what it ends up being.
Did you call your salesman yet?

its for the climate control. is your the digital one?

Green light that shines down on middle console area!

 

[AV8B6015]

No, I have not called the salesman yet.

Yes, I have the digital climate control, and I don't think it's a green light. I'll have to pay more attention to it next time I drive (which probably wont be til the weekend).

It checks the temperature for your climate control.

 

[AV8B6015]

Well that makes me feel better! Was starting to think I had to put the tinfoil hat on to keep big brother from reading my thoughts!!!

 

[HKkid]

Yup, my mom has them in her Aspen.

 

[quietpeen]

i agree that it has to be for climate control. I don't have the digital system and all i have is the indent in that location and no sensor like that.

 

[Ramajama]

You can always test it to see if its for the dimming rear view mirror by putting your finger over it at night when there someone behind you. Your mirror will turn very bright.

That's nuts. Pretty cool tho if it is hvac control. Creepy if it's a spy cam. Lol

Lol check at night with your headlights on its a green light that shines down on console area!

The sensor for the auto dim rearview is on the rearview mirror itself.
