Default What is the black *** on the headliner above the rear view mirror for???

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what the heck the round tinted black plastic thingy is. It is above the rearview mirror and connected in the headliner in the middle, usually where a dome light would be. I have taken it off and it has some proto board there with wires. But I dnt have a clue what that does? Anyone know what I am talking about? I have a 93 sport jeep cherokee btw.

GPS transmitter that pings your position to the local authorities when a female under 18 is a passenger in your vehicle. No ****...

It's a surveillance camera fed to your local Wal-Mart security department.

It has the ability to read your BAC electronically and will alert local authorities if you're above the legal limit
