I found this fob in the centre box today, I can't figure out what it does! I also found out I have a rear parking sensor, and there is so many different beeps etc when the ignition is on! I might just rip it all out to be honest as it's annoying!

Could you not ask the previous owner, if you purchased it from a garage they should be able to tell you or get the address from the V5 of the previous owner and ask them. This is all obvious I know but just in case you havn't tried that yet.

 

I would not rip anything out until you know what it does.

I've got the conlight as well and was told it automatically turned the headlights on. Can't make it work though, not too sure how it works or what it plugs in to (can only see 2 wires trailing down the side of the dash)

The previous owner only had it for a few months and never used it, if I could get in contact with the owner before him, that could be very useful as he had it 9 years.

No offence but didnt you ask when you brought it what they where? The garage must have had some idea what they where?

 

If not then you must have picked it up cheap, I can see the convo now.

 

"So whats that beep?"

 

"dont know"

 

"So whats all those wires with large boxes on them?"

 

"dont know"

 

Anyone looking at that car without supra knowage would run a mile.

I did not meet the owner no, the owner is a 77yr old man and the son was dealing with the sale on his behalf. Also, the guy only had it 3 months, like I said in a previous post, I might try and get hold of the owner before last as he had it 9 years.

OMG that must be so annoying LOL, i seen something similar, does it happen when the car starts or when its driving?

 

Just while driving, and when you power it on. I haven't pressed any of the other buttons yet to see what they do lol. If it is some useless Jap thing, then why has it been left on by previous owners since 1998 when it was imported!

Looks like an old fashioned scanner to me.

 

When you turn it on it goes through the range of noises, once it has settled it will constantly beep the same noise. If a copper points a radar gun at you it will go nuts.

 

If thats what it is rip it out, useless nowadays.

It has 4 holders it clips in to.

It went mad when I pulled up behind a car at traffic lights too, I thought this was what it might be, I guess I'll remove it, as I will be putting a boost controller in its place anyway :)

Was it possibly a set of lights with a radar camera on them?

Sounds like a parking sensor :)

Lol why would a parking sensor need a little box with lots of lights and buttons on. No it's definitely not that.

 

lol, I had a parking sensor once that came with a full LCD screen that told me which direction the object was coming from. So it can have loadsa lights... however... I dont think this is what you have ;)
