    I apologize for being stupid, but on my package III there is this metal foil square on the inside of my windshield with a "bump" like it had a chip in it. I believe it is located where the camera for the LKA would be if I had LKA, but of course I don't. It appears to be about 1x4 inches.
    What is it?

    You can remove it. It sounds like the tracking chip they used while the cars were being shipped from Japan. Your dealer should have removed it. There were some earlier reports/threads on this very same thing.

    Thanks, I removed it and it didn't explode, so I guess I'll be OK
