My 2.5 CDX has "nipples" on its rear.
« on: 14 July 2006, 11:25:08 »

A quickie probably and excuse my ignorance.

The M reg cdx i have has two nipples. One on each side of the rear of the car. At the corners and they protrude about 1 inch. At a guess i think they may be primative parking sensors - can anyone confirm.

Secondly i have a button in the glove box, at the back with a snowflake and an on off switch that doesnt seem to do much. No manual to check this either.

My 5 year newer MV6 has not got these things for me to cross reference, can anyone assist.

All the best
Mark

Not sure about your nipples  ;D, but your glove box is cooled if you open the slider with ac on.
Not sure why though. The Omega has one of the smallest gloveboxes I've ever seen.

Not quite sure if this is the same but with mine in the glove box I have a slider thing with a hole in it and on it is a picture of a snowflake this relates to the AC as the glovebox can be used a cooler.

Might be similar with yours does the car have AC.

sounds like it is an air conditioned glovebox as its exactly as you guys have described.

Strangest thing i have ever heard of. Apart from those nipple things......will investigate these further as theres a wad of wires inside the boot. Logic suggests some form of sensors.

cheers

There is room in the aircon glovebox for a couple of emergency Mars bars. They break the boredom of the M40 ;)

These nipples, if you tweak them do they go hard?

My old CDX (carlton) had a couple of nipples at the back, which were connected to adjustable shocks, but these where on the inside.
