There seems to be some kind of sensor between the two interior displays, see picture for approximate location. It can be seen when looking at the area at a certain angle and certain light conditions. Anyone knows what it’s for or if it even has a function?

It's part of the Driving Assist systems. There's another on the left. Use your phone Camera and you can see them.

Below is a picture from my car - I only see the one on the left, and the one on the top - I don't think I have one on the right, but not sure since the wheel is blocking part of that area in this picture.

These sensors basically watch your eyes and your movement to make sure you are paying attention to the road during Driving Assistance Pro usage. It also makes sure you look before the DAP system automatically changes lanes for you.
