Bradders Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Picking up my Z this morning. Feel as if I've slept with a coat hanger in my mouth, can't stop smiling My Z( sounds nice) has a black "thingy" hanging from the roof above the rear view mirror. Its hanging via a wire, so it looks as if it should be attached. Its about 5 inches long and kinda rectangular. Any ideas? Bradders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i got a feeling that is the internal mic for the phone. not too sure tho. is it behind the rear view mirror? i have wondered what that is for. perhaps its for the sat nav and installed to ever car.

Ebized Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 because as it may be as Sparky or Sarnie says, but if its an import it could be other things including, IIRC, a connection for a device used for toll road payments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky370z Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 it has some perferated holes in it IIRC. that looks like the standard patteren for a mic. its just a bit weird being all the way up there, behind the rear view and stuck to the windscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 is it a JDM one? Possibly the yoke that makes Japanese noise when you start the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laser beams ace! I can use it to shoot the numptys in Corsas that have already tried to race me It's not a JDM. Might have bought one if I knew it had a blaster I'll take a pic and post tomorrow. Looks like a Wii remote sensor but about half the length. Bit of a nerve wracking moment when we disccovered that it only fit on the drive by 2 inches Would have been crushed if I had to leave it on the street Bradders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Its the ariel for the phone system. Its attached by a wire that disappears into the headlining. In the old days people used to pull it out and stick it as far left as possible to gain a better phone reception. Its not the mic. I am never wrong.

Bradders Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've done a few searches on the forum for the bluetooth issue. One said switch on the ignition and it should be detectable from the phone within the first 10 secs. Don't seem to have anything come up. The adaptor thingy seems to be in place and there is another bit in the cubby loose which seems to be a bit to plug a phone into. Little confused. btw Does anyone tire of the exhaust noise? It feels as if I have died and gone to petrol heaven. Every morning I take it off the drive, I think I am still dreeaming Bradders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
