What is a "Clown Nose"? 
I think the Forum could use a glossary for those of us who haven't been around so long.

I have the exact same problem and I didn't get my car washed,(detailed), Everything checks out through the I Drive but it still doesn't work. Called the dealer JMK BMW and they said it has to be reprogramed. Got a appointment for the 29th of Nov. At the same time they are going to upgrade the software to correct to passenger air bag problem.

I believe the clown nose is the red bulb under the rear view mirror. 
Does anyone know what it's real name is? My friends and I have always called it the "clown nose".
thanks,
