That is the rain sensor for the automatic wipers

^^^^No, that's what I thought too, until I looked at the pict. Their is something to the right of the moisture sensor behind the visor

BTW, that F has the old style mirror.

That looks to be a Sirius satellite receiver. We had a couple of IS-F's come in back in 08' that had those. It's kinda bulky I must admit.

That makes more sense...it's not the rain thing b/c I have auto wipers and I don't have that extra thing on the WS...XM uses the shark fin right? So sirius makes the most sense so far..

Actually, I liked the look and function better on the old mirror than the new one that Have (TSB retrofit). However, the new mirror is slightly larger and does not vibrate like my old one did.

Do you drive with the windows and sunroof open? That's when it would vibrate the worst for me.
