Can anyone enlighten me as to what this "camera looking" thing is? It is behind the screen. The photo shows the location very well. Thanks and Happy 4th !!!!

I believe that is a motion sensor (or a dummy sensor if not equipped) for an optional alarm system.

Not 100% sure though. Maybe someone else can confirm.

I believe it is the interior Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor.

I believe it’s a temperature and humidity sensor for the HVAC system. A while back, someone posted a screen shot from the Ford service manual, and it mentioned this. I always thought it was something related to the security system before.

Yes. It's a Temperature/Humidity Sensor.
It is not a motion sensor for a Perimeter Alarm as I previously thought.

The manual mentions Interior Sensors on page 85, but they do NOT exist, even with the Perimeter Plus add on alarm. Needs corrected in the manual as it causes confusion.

Thanks for all the replies. It even crossed my mind that big brother was taping me, sending it to the black box to be used in court after an accident.

Is not that one to check if you're falling sleep, or your eyes are not open as much as the system determines that you're alerted enough ?

No, that's a temperature sensor. The Driver alert uses the front camera looking at the lanes in the road.

Thanks for the clarification.

Well thank you the explanation. I should've did a search here before I posted my question about this.
