What is this by the overhead conversation mirror? Mic? Babycam?

Just picked up my Atlantis Blue Routan SEL w/RSE on Saturday. First time minivan and VW owner (yes, I know the Routan is based of a TC). I looked at every van there is, imho this is the best.

Anyways, as my title asks, does anyone know what that is? I'm assuming its a mic, or something cooler like a babycam that's available for the Chrysler?

Sorry, nothing cool like a cam or a mic. This is an infrared sensor for the hvac system.

Looks like you have the SEL Premium. Cool. I have the SEL w/RSE also in Atlantis Blue.

We've nicknamed our conversation mirror "The Eye of God." Gets the kids' attention.

There is an LED toward the back of that ceiling console. It shines on the cupholders in the floor console. Just too cool.
