What's it for?
I believe speed limit signs for the Speed Assist feature are read by the MobileEye camera itself (the camera at top of windshield, in the wedge-shaped cutout covered by the base of the mirror support). I don't know for sure but I'd guess the sensor on the back of the rear view mirror is maybe used for the auto-dimming high beam feature? Should be easy enough to test...I think it's for reading speed limit signs, eventually stop signs and traffic lights. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist on non-AutoPilot models.
anyhow here's where I have my Blackvue mounted, if you place it up high with its mounting pad to the right of center it's very inconspicuous and doesn't seem to block that sensor on the rv mirror - I haven't notice any problems with it mounted here
