Solar sensor for smart A/C control.
Basically, it senses the position of the sun and determine how to vent cool air from which vents.

Really. I never use the air-con so I haven't noticed the effect.

I thought it was more likely to be the sensor for the automatic headlights.

It's a photocell tied to the computer. Any system that adjust to light levels uses that data: A/C, Auto Lights, Etc.
A LOT simpler and more reliable system than Acura's ridiculous GPS nonsense.

Does having a registration sticker in front of it interefere? The auto-headlights work ok.
