What are these?

Just bought a 2008 F-150 XLT.

Trying to determine what a few things are.

First, what is the cigarette pack sized box mounted up in front of the rearview mirror? The satellite radio antenna? If so, then what is this?



Any info would be great. Thanks!

I think the cig pack thing you mention by the rear view mirror is the compass. Not sure what that is on top. My 2004 Lariat has nothing like that but I don't have satellite radio.

On top is the satellite antenna. The box as stated is the compass.

and i think theres stuff in there that messes with the dimming mirrors.

dont forget too your auto headlight thingy is in that dome on the dash with the blinking red light. if you put a hat over it or somethign your headlights will be on.

Don't have the dimming mirrors. The old manual flip ****.

Know all about the auto headlight sensor.
