Rearview mirror mounted detection signal sensor system

A detection signal sensor system for use with a vehicle, said system further comprising:

• a housing assembly configured for outboard attachment to a vehicle;
• a reflective body attached to said housing assembly;
• a signal receiving assembly positioned between said housing and said reflective body;
• a sensor of said signal receiving assembly for sensing a signal directed toward said sensor;
• a transmissible portion of said reflective body positioned relative to at least a portion of said signal receiving assembly, for promoting transmission of a detection signal through said reflective body for detection by said sensor;
• said transmissible portion includes a revealed portion of said reflective body which is generally non-reflective, said revealed portion being positioned relative to at least a portion of said sensor of said signal receiving assembly, said revealed portion being positioned relative to said sensor of said signal receiving assembly for allowing a detection signal to pass through said revealed portion to said sensor of said signal receiving assembly;
• and
• an indicator coupled to said receiving assembly for indicating the presence of a detection signal received by said sensor, said indicator being positioned relative to said reflective body for observing said indicator while viewing said reflective body.

A detection signal sensing system for use with a vehicle, said sensing system comprising:

• a pair of housing assemblies configured for being positioned on a vehicle extending outboardly, generally from opposite sides thereof;
• each of said housing assemblies including at least a rear housing portion and a reflective body attached thereto;
• a signal receiving assembly positioned between each of said reflective body and corresponding said rear housing portion so as to contain a detecting device therein;
• each of said signal receiving assemblies including a sensor coupled thereto;
• one of said signal receiving assemblies sensing a signal directed toward said vehicle from a forward position and the other of said assemblies sensing a signal directed toward said vehicle from a rearward position;
• and
• each of said signal receiving assemblies including an indicator coupled thereto for indicating the presence of a signal.
