Okay...What is this?

I saw something new for the first time on my 05' GT.
For the life of me, I would swear that It wasn't there before.

It is a small black box aprox. 1.5" X 2.0" above my rear view mirror
and behind the windshields center pony.
It seems to have a tube shaped antenna about 2" X .5"
and has the word "Directed" etched into it.
What gives?

Yeah, I hate to say it, but that sounds like a listening device. Having any wife (or girlfriend, or both) trouble?

Oh, and BTW, if you happen to be an international terrorist...it's probably just the relay for your auto-dimming cabin lights...nothing to worry about!

Does you car have a remote start? If so, it is the antenna.

Directed is an alarm & electronics company, they make the Viper alarms as well as others so I'm thinking your car has an aftermarket alarm. Maybe a glass break sensor or something??

Yup.............might want to open it up and see if any carrot juice drips out.

Is it part of the mirror mold or attached?
