Its a combination of the center dot, and the sensor on the back of the mirror.

2) My picture shows camera and a sensor facing forward from the driver, i.e. behind the rear view mirror. My guess is that (read the manual) the camera is for lane change warning and/or reading speed signs whereas the sensor is for managing the high beam assist.

I do not have a HUD, I do not have lane change warning and I have not found any setting in iDrive where I can turn on Speed Sign Reading´and/or lane change warning.

There is absolutely no reference to this camera and sensor in the manual other than than a short paragraph states that "a camera reads the road lanes" for lane change warning. If outside a lane, the wheel will rattle a bit.

Questions, if the camera is for speed sign readings, how do I enable it. If it is not, why is it placed there and what for.

Sorry for repeating my question, but I am serious. I am not trying to create unnessecary posts.

Kind regards

That is the mirror with the camera you have no?
