Why does the FX have a camera in the front of the car?

Hey guys, I got a 2007 FX35 as a loaner car today and it had the rear backup camera and some other packages im sure. But the odd thing was it had a camera facing the front of the car and it was tucked up behind the rearview mirror. What does it do? I thought it was the cruise control sensor but that thing was in the bottom front grill.

It's for the Lane Departure Warning system.

Incorrect. The ICC equipment for the FX is located on the right hand side (left hand side in the picture) of the lower front air damn.

I didn't get the tech package the little stick to navigate seemed like it wasn't worth the trouble. Color screen would've been cool but I added some. How much of Hybrid is coming out this weekend?

He's right about the LDW. It's mounted behind the windshield rear mirror. Kind of embarrassing about the ICC though. Tee hee. j/k.
