What s this?

[Patch1875]

Picked up a 2015 Fiesta for my daughter.

Any idea what this is? Wire comes out the headlining and it has sticky pads on the back.

Older style black box maybe?

Rain sensor for the wipers fallen off of the screen perhaps?

My first guess (without any further info) would be some sort of GPS antenna for a tracker/black box.

Does it have a USB port on it? If so it might be a power adapter for a dashcam.

Don't they detect rain by getting wet?

ETA - no they don't! They work through the windscreen. Could be it.

Yep, part of the Sync Assist system. 3m sticky pads can be used to refix it.

When it falls down, people need assistance to know what it is and what to do with it

My guess is that the wrong windscreen has been fitted to the car. It needed one with a bracket to hold the module in question.
