Technical What is this thing close to the wind screen?

[Metrik]

I've searched the manual, but haven't found this thing described. It's a small round cap located at the top of the dashboard, close to the wind screen. Do you happen to know what it is?
(I used a picture of a members GP here).

Sensor for the dual climate control, if you have it as an option.

I wonder how many people are now thinking "Huh, never noticed that!!" lol

Based on the number of times I have seen this question asked and answered in here over the last 3 or so years...........not many

I do have that, thanks! I'm new to Fiat and new to this forum, so please bear with me and my newbie questions. My search results here were poor because i didn't know what it was called. Thanks again, Andy The Gardener.

Yeah, appalling isn't it?

Someone told me it was a mount for a laser gun.

Originally I thought it was the GPS receiver for the Connect Nav, but now I know it's the cover for the hidden surveillance camera.

I always believed it was the passenger eject button? But hey what do you know...

Its too far out of reach for that

If you have cruise control though, theres a little man who sits in there to drive the car - he has full view of the road that way.

kinda narrow minded for a forum not wanting newbies to ask questions.

*sigh* here we go again.

We are not wanting n00bs to not ask questions, we are simply asking them to search for previous threads on it as if they ask the same question then the next person that wants to search that is gonna find alot more results which they will then moan about having to look through them all to find the answer to their question. They will then make a thread about this moaning and asking the same question again, they will get told to search and then an existing member who barely posts will come along and moan about telling people to search. Nice circle you see.

Id suggest you search for all the other threads moaning about the same thing as you.

At the end of the day if he had searched then he would of known what it was, not trying to discourage people to post, far from it. But searching saves duplicate threads on the forum which then make it harder to find the info people are after. If they still have a question to ask then they can just bring that thread back up by posting on it. Simples.
