lbeddowscbr Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Hello all Spotted this attached to the back of my rear view mirror and have no idea what it is or does. There's no mic hole so not a microphone and the wire goes behind the roof covering. Anyone know?

TT350 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Maybe a sensor to tint the mirror? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbeddowscbr Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 The wire doesn't actually go into the mirror and the thing is just stuck to the back of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Buggered if I know then. Sounds redundant whatever it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) My guess would be the microphone for the hands free, its normally on the windscreen behind the mirror, but maybe you've had the windscreen replaced and who ever did it just put it on the back of the mirror. Actually just goggled it and its Ariel for the hands free kit, it was used before Bluetooth was introduced. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59362-sensor-on-windscreen-by-rear-view-mirror/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/23686-what-is-the-sensor-behind-the-rear-mirror/ Edited August 13, 2015 by Randy_Baton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Maybe some kind of garage door/gate/motorway toll thing that requires power for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I would say either digital antenna for DAB or Mobile phone aerial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw99 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'd say a DAB aerial, looks like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbeddowscbr Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does seem to be the old phone cradle thing then. Just had me intrigued. Thanks for the help guys, shall get it fixed back in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenley Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 It is the microphone for the hands free kit, fat lot of good it is pointing forwards. Should be stuck to the windscreen pointing towards you. You can see it hanging loosed whilst I had a new screen fitted the other year. It was stuck back onto the screen up against the headlining.
