What is this thing above my rear view mirror
I bought my car about 2 months ago and I don't know if this is something that comes stock on these cars or if it's something that the previous owner had.

Thing above my mirror

^ It was there, You had to click on the "thing above my mirror"


As for what it is, cant tell from that pic, but it isnt something OEM. It has to be something the previous owner installed.

Maybe it's a dashcam? Can't really tell by the pic. Regardless, it's aftermarket for sure.

Did you try to remove it? Probably just stuck on your mirror frame.

Could it be the GPS antennae for the head unit?

That's definitely a Bluetooth mic for an aftermarket deck. It will be attached by 2 sided tape most likely.

Looks like a GPS sensor. I have one just like it on my dash for my AppRadio 3.
