What is this?

Who can tell me what this thingy is, next to front camera? It wiggles slightly when pressed as if it might be a button of some type but it does nothing I've been able to find. It can't be pulled out, like an operating button might, nor pushed in, like some kind of release mechanism. So...what the heck is it?

Washer for the camera. Activated at the same time as windshield washers.

Haha! Do you put a camera inside the refidgetator to ensure the light really goes out?

Well no, see, there's this little user-accessible door switch that I can press. Now, if that weren't there, then I'd definitely need to do the camera-in-the-refrigerator thing. For sure. Yeah.

I watched a video of a GoPro in a dishwasher once…let me tell you it was excitement down to the wire waiting to see if the guacamole was going to come off that plate.

It is going to be really hard to catch on a 2024. You might have to sit there a while.

Nah, seriously, I think it WAS a camera washer on early models, but doesn't do anything now.

Don’t need a mirror. While in park press the camera button. You should see the front camera view. Then clean the windshield, you should see the liquid spray on the camera lens and the windshield at the same time.

You seem to be right. To spare everyone a boring video, I set up my tablet camera then ran the ww....nothing, it didn't move.

That one specifically was by Warped, but I’ve seen Technology Connections also like his stuff lol.

Thanks for that suggestion! Tried it again...still nothing.

Set a video camera up once to show nothing happens when auto transmission is put into 1st hold and then reverse at 80mph?
