What is this?
Alright, so I'm taking my friend in my car and he points about something i've never noticed...so im asking what is it? I'm thinking it has something to do with reading the inside car temp? Help if you can thanks!

it's the rear view mirror - it's for checking out hot chicks on the sidewalk after you pass them by

Behind the little vent is supposed to be a sampleing sensor for the climate control. Reads the interior air temp.

TommyGun is right, that black thing is the mic for an integrated phone.

The hole in the white part (with the louvers) is where the sampling fan for the interior temp (that Anghrist posted about).

That rear view mirror is for watching ricers trying to keep up with your E on the freeway.
