(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score you have a regular mirror? do you see a sensor on the backside of it or on the dash. your year might be different as i noticed a clear sensor on the back side of the auto dim mirror my vender sent me which im figuring is for the the auto lights.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Yes I have a regular mirror. I notice a sensor on the dash real close to the front windshield. I always assumed that was the sensor for the auto lamps. My mother in laws cx9 has a sensor behind the mirror, but I'm about 95% sure that's for her rain sensing wipers. I forget to turn them off when I clean her windshield and they turn on everytime when I wipe the windshield at a gas station. Only does it when I get water on the windshield behind the mirror. I wanna say she also has a sensor on the dash by the windshield for her auto headlamps. Hers is a 2009 cx9 awd gt

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score mine is dome shaped near the left dash speaker but it looks like a blank. I need to stop by the dealer and check out one with the auto lights to get a better understanding. thanks for the pictures.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score i think i figured it out - the rain sensor on the windshield which is located behind the rearview mirror acts as the auto light sensor as well. this is going to be tougher than i though - i hope the connector is up there above the map lights or ill be buying the DEI auto light kit.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score well i decided to order the DEI kit which is cost effective and easier to solve the auto headlight issue.

| Not Ranked : 0 score definitely seems to be the more cost effective way to do so. Makes me 'kinda' wonder where mine is at. But i'm under the 'it works, so i'm not gonna worry about it' policy. My mother in-laws CX9 has that a set up similar to that picture you have. BUT she also has a little nub or something in the drivers side speaker by the window. The passenger side does not have this.

| Not Ranked : 0 score my climate control is right in front of my right knee when sitting in the drivers seat. That wouldn't really make any sense if it was on the dash, cuz the sun would give you false readings in the summer or all the time if you lived down south.
