    mounted on the driver's side doors of 575s ? It's a black plastic nipple, looks like a switch or a sensor. Not found on passenger side mirrors. Any clues?

    My nipple is on my driver side mirror, temperature sensor. That didn't sound right.

    It's the outside temp sensor, as indicated in our owner's manual.
