Extra Connector - above microphone cover

[Jason]

Anyone have any guesses for what this black connector is for, it is not hooked up, is a 4 port but only 3 wires (black, green/red,red).
This is right at windshield in middle. The other 2 connectors, right and left, are for the lights that are beside them.

I don't really know what the connector is used for, but I tapped into it to provide power for my DashCam. See http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/dashboard-camera-install?page=1. The other two connectors are actually for the two microphones. Notice that the wiring is shielded?

Which dashcam did you go with?

Tesla told me several times (before the car was released) that they are working on a collision avoidance system for the car. Could that connector possibly be for a camera or other such device that would be mounted at the rearview mirror height?

Noticed this a couple of weeks ago when I was doing my dash cam install. [Blackvue DR400] I have a question in to a friendly service tech to try and find out.

I purchased a BlackVue DR500GW-HD Wi-Fi Dashcam from BlackVue - LUXURY BLACK ($279 free shipping). My installation experience is in the link above.
