It's really not that bad.... at 6'2, the rear view mirror blocks it from my sight.

They should split it out of the package though, for those of us who want it. This is sort of a toy for me... and I want all of the toys on it

just do without the comfort package. The lights can still be manually switched on and off. The wipers can still be manually controled add an easy pass transponder and you have an ugly park

but if you want leather (and who doesn't! ), which is the primary reason why 90% of us have selected the comfort package, then you're stuck with the added features.

The hockey puck is made by a company that is owned by the brother-in-law of Dr. Z. It was the only way the poor guy could get a good nights sleep and stop his wife from nagging him all the time.

It's a big black circle that is glued on the inside windshield behind the mirror

I would upload a pic, but I didn't get the comfort package on mine. I am one of the few that didn't want leather. I've had leather in a few cars (still do in my Corvette) and have found cloth much more comfortable in hot weather (especially with shorts on). But anyway, there is a hockey puck size light and rain sensor attached to the windshield just next to the rear view mirror that is pretty big in size. I seen one at the dealership when I picked up my car. I would guess it to be between 3 to 4 inches in diameter. I'm sure someone else will chime in with the right size. I, at first, thought it might have been an XM radio antenna, but not.

I'll try to grab a picture when I get home tonight - if it's not raining too hard. We're supposed to get the remnants of the mid-south storm. Winds are kicking up and the sky is getting real dark now.
