Location of Driver Monitoring Camera

[PeakyOtter]

2024 CX-90 Premium Plus. Is anyone aware of the exact placement of the Driver Monitoring Camera? I refer to the exact location of the object. I wish to affix a sticker to it. I cannot tolerate a camera on my face in my own automobile. I recognise that it is probably basic onboard software for monitoring driver attentiveness and poses minimal harm. Nonetheless, the trust is simply absent. I am aware that it may lead to warnings and safety concerns, among other difficulties. I desire all those unpleasant aspects while obstructing the camera. I assume the Driver Attention feature can be disabled in the settings, potentially alleviating warning messages and similar notifications.

Consequently, here is what the manual provides... I am unable to perceive the camera lens with my own eyes. It is imperceptible... Uncertain whether the manual explicitly delineates:
Examine media item 276It would be preferable to avoid covering the entire driver side of the infotainment screen with stickers. I desire to utilise a small, aesthetically pleasing black dot sticker. I am struggling to develop sufficient confidence over its placement. Does anyone possess any insights? Seeking a modest degree of control in my vehicle—a negligible contribution to privacy preservation. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this matter. Thank you

Do you not observe the dot on the screen's edge shown by the image in the manual? That is the cover for the camera lens.

I am curious to discover the outcome of covering it.

I will provide a report on my findings. Thank you!

It is precisely in the place depicted in your image. At a minimum, concerning the TSPP. The object resembles the camera lens of your mobile phone.

[PeakyOtter]

Thank you for your prompt response! This is my observation:
Examine media item 282I am experiencing difficulty in perceiving the camera lens. The illustration in the aforementioned instructions does not appear to correspond with my observations. The camera lens is not visible to me. I am experiencing some confusion on this matter.

You lack a Premium Plus subscription. There is no camera present, and your dashboard trim is composed of a different material.

[PeakyOtter]

To clarify, it is the standard Premium Plus, not T S PP.

[BrambleBurt]

Understood. In either case, a camera is absent.

[PeakyOtter]

Ah, I understand! Is there one available for this trim? There must be a location as the driver attentiveness feature is integrated into this model.

[BrambleBurt]

The system will employ alternative characteristics to assess attentiveness, even in the absence of a camera. Erratic steering manoeuvres or frequent contact with lane markings may signify driver weariness or distraction.

This is now very clearer—thank you!
