Hey Everyone, I'm new to the forum. Just picked up a Blue 2010 jeep Liberty 4x4 limited. So far so good.

I had a question, i have this camera looking thing right by my overhead lights. Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks

my thought would be to check the manual cause i honestly have no idea lol

if i had to take a strab at it, i'm gunna assume you have the mygig... in which case it is probably a camera.. and you can probably access it to see video... the reason for the camera in this location... well my guess would be that it's a baby cam... so you don't have to turn around to check on your child.

let me know if you do indeed have a mygig and i may be able to help you find that option

I always thought it was the light sensor for the auto-dimming rear view mirror....

I think you'll find it's the sensor which monitors in-cabin temperature for the climate control system.

i do not have that on my 08, the mygig microphone is an actual mic thats installed on the driver side pillar, the rear view dimmer sensor is on the rear view mirror, so thats out also ( i have both the mic and the mirror dimmer).

Good question. I down loaded the OM and UG for the 2010 and it is in one of the Pics but not labeled.

not mygig related as I have it and no mygig. I think its auto mirror or thermostat related.

At night fire up the rig, turn on the headlights, then shine a bright flashlight on it. That will tell you if it is related to the auto mirror adjuster.

Oh, I know what it is!
It's a camera, so when you get into an accident "Big Brother" can pull your black box and see what you were doing.... :ROTFL:

It's the infrared heat sensor for the automatic climate control.

put some tape over it and see what happens to your ac or mirrors.
it could be the alarms motion sensor. my mom toyota had little sensor on the pillar an if you lock the car and stayed inside they would trigger the alarm.
