What is the sensor on dash in front of driver
I owned an 04 and 06 TL and now a 07 TL and there is some sensor now at front of dash at base of windshield in front of driver. I don't see a reference to it anywhere, what is it? My friend thinks it is the Navi GPS antenna, I told him that is in the rear deck.

The 04-06 has a sunlight sensor on the right side, directly in front of the passenger. It doesn't have a sensor on the left side in front of the driver, so the sensor in the 07 is new, and if I know rfb351, he is correct in what he said about the auto headlights.

It senses owners who do not RTFM. When detected, radiation is emitted in a downward direction from the steeting column causing the owner's berries to glow in the dark for a while and then turn black and fall off.

I had auto on lights in my 99 Silverado .. none on the 03 Passat .. nor the 06 TL .. and you know ... its a nice feature and I still miss it but it would turn on the headlights when I drove into the garage .. is this short term on/off going to bother the ballasts?

you will need a new light stalk, the "brain" and sensor, also the wiring to hook it all up. if you really need this option, get something aftermarket

What I woudl like to do is make it more sensitive, I hate that at dusk I am still on DRLs a lot, I like headlights as soon as sun is on horizon, I may find a way to put somehting slightly hazy right over the sensor.
