Auto Rain sensor, what does it look like?

Does anyone know what the Auto Rain sensor looks like from inside the car? I've seen in pics that it's hardly noticeable from the outside, but does it look obnoxious/ cut of the view from the inside?

Please post pics, preferably from the drivers seat.

If you have a coup its in the base of the rear view mirror.

It's just part of the rear view mirror assembly. In my opinion, not noticeable, but I've never driven a Mini without the sensor.... There is a picture in my gallery from the rear seat, in between the front seats - doesn't show much other than rear view mirror.

It isn't noticeable, in my opinion. It is above and behind the rearview mirror. I don't have a pic for you though.
