What are these for?

Hi All,

Borrowed some pic's off members here hope they don't mind.

There seems to be 3 types off senors or cameras that come with different models, just above the rear view mirror. I'm guessing it depends on what optional extras you added to the car. Can anyone tell me what they are for? i was thinking one of them as something do with Traffic Sign Assist??

Given up on a S205 and ordered a S212
Vic Viper, what's the deal if you have a replacement windscreen fitted? Four wheel alignment and camera recalibrating?

I don't think that is entirely correct, I have ILS and Distronic plus but not lane assist etc. and I have one triangular opening.
