Hi all, i was stripping down my wing mirrors yesterday to spray, i found a sensor in the drivers side mirror housing... Does anybody know what it does?

UK cars have 2 way mirrors. The unit is a camera / transmitter to help the cops identify the driver..links with 'other security devices' and adds driver's face to ANPR data in the cop cars...

Sheesh! There goes another secret weapon
Still, at least they don't know about the hidden weighing scales in the seats

Its a little known fact but Fiat expected the Coupe to sell far better than it did. The Plan was for a fleet of re-fuelling tankers to patrol the autostradas/autobahns etc and re-fill the car on the move. On continental models the unit is in the left hand mirror and is a combined sensor/fuel coupling unit not unlike an an aircraft system.
Unfortunately the car didn't sell well enough and the Coupe Tanker was cancelled at the protoype stage.
