What is this? R60 dash "bump" where light sensor might go.

Recommended Posts

Hi, all. Can anyone tell me what this little circle thing does? It's the typical spot for a car's light sensor for automatic lights, but might doesn't have those. In fact, near as I can tell, the R60 doesn't have auto lights as an option.

 

It pulls out easily with a finger nail and has a three pin connector attached to it.

My Countryman doesn't have auto lights as in detecting when it's dark. But I can leave them on all the time and the automatically go off with the car so I never touch them. To me that's auto :biggrin:

 

Yeah, I was meaning the kind that come on when it gets dark. Mine do also turn off automatically when I turn of the car.

It's for the solar sensor for MINIs with the automatic air conditioning option.

 

Meh, I've never seen auto-AC/climate control that worked worth a damn, anyway. So, to have this and not auto headlights is stupid to me.

 

I'm looking into doing a DIY auto headlight sensor install. That little bump would be the perfect place to put it.
