What is this?

The is what appears to be a light at the bottom of the COMAND screen (multimedia package) in the center of the black bezel. Does anyone know what this is or what it indicates?

Ambient light photocell, measures available light in the cabin so the displays can be brightened or dimmed.

Thank you. I've been driving the car for more than a year and never noticed it before. Today it looked like it illuminated. It was probably the bright sun reflecting off the sensor.

It's a secret camera used by the government to spy on you.

The government already uses the gps to spy on you, might as well have the camera too!!
