stupid question

Ok as much as I know about my mini I still don't know what the vent above the rear seat is. Is it a defroster vent, or something to do with the auto air conditioner? What is that thing. I can never feel any air coming from it but havn't tried all the settings so maby it is. LOL. A friend thought it was a camera that Mini put in the car to keep an eye on it's customers. LOL

Ok,I was trying to hide this on my last post,but if you push a ten cent piece in one of the slots,you get 5 more HP
And if you believe that,you should back away slowly from the internet

HAHAHAHAHA No telling what's in there. But what is it really for? Motion sensor? on my last car the motion sensor for the alarm was located in the engine compartment and was a little box about an inch and a half by 1 inch long and had to led's and a **** to adjust it. O well. I guess we will never know. LOL
