Since the manual talks about only one sensor, my suggestion in the above post that maybe there are two sensors is also not true. The center big "sensor"s function is still unknown for me. Like I suggested before maybe it has something to do with the alarm.

BMW uses two sensors, one at the front of the mirror and one behind, to measure the light "difference". In case someone, like a truck, shows up behind you and blinds you with bright lights... This is what activates the dimming features of the mirror.
I imagine this same sensor could be used to detect oncoming traffic when high beam assist is on?
I wonder if it's a feature we could enable through coding?
