What is this thing?

I just returned from a local 2 night stay at a state park for our first trip in the T@B.  
Everything went fine, but I noticed something, and I have no clue what it is.  In the clamshell galley, 2016 CS-S, there is a black, round thing between the 120 outlet, and the 12 power outlet. (that is why I put this question in this category) It has what appears to be a lens in it?  Maybe a light detector?  Any ideas?
Pictures are on my phone, will add momentarily.

My trailer does not have that.  I also don't have a TV / media system.

Thus, my best guess is that it is a receiver for the remote control signal.  Cover it up, and see if you can still adjust your audio volume as a check.

ohhh, that makes sense!  I think we may have a winner!
I will give it a try soon.

@gymcoachdon , we have a 2017 CS and a television in the back. I do not recall seeing that in our trailer. No guesses from me what that is.

It's the optional HAL 9000 interface. "Open the clamshell door, Hal..."

Hard to tell from your pics, but if it’s a plug there might be wiring behind it to add USB ports. It’s the right size and location for another outlet cover. Although @Travelin3D ‘s theory is pretty good, too!

I seem to remember that it has to do with the Jenson, and I can’t remember if it is for the remote control or the speakers......the T@G’s had it when they first came out.....

Kinda looks like this, but neither picture helps:  http://www.jensenrvdirect.com/infrared-repeater-extension.html

Basically, it seems to be a remote control "extender."  You can operate the Jensen without the remote having to be in line of sight to the Jensen unit.

That’s correct...it’s a remote eye that operates the Jenson from the outside with the remote control.   That way you can adjust the Jenson volume without getting up and going inside the T@B.

NSA?

I was pretty sure someone was watching me...
I stood outside the clamshell galley, and powered up the Jensen with the remote.  Then I turned up the volume using the remote.  Everything worked fine.  Then I covered the NSA camera with my thumb, and tried to turn down the volume.  Of course, it still worked perfectly.
I am pretty sure that is its intended function, I will try again with tape, or another person, from farther away, and see what my results are.
