Anyone else got one of these sticking out there internal lights???
« on: 17 January 2012, 23:54:56 »
Hi all,

Sorry for poor pic but was going to post this for a while, kept forgetting and only remembered a minute ago  ::) .......



This black object next to my interior/courtesy light has a wire going from it, under the courtesy light housing and goes off somewhere I don't know. It has a little velcro pad on the bottom so it sticks to the fabric roof.

What is it?

No idea from your picture, but I'm sure it'll be a mic from a now defunct phone kit.  :y :y

Excellent. Cheers mate.

Sorry for stupid Q but where would the wire lead to and can I trace it back and remove?

It's probably tracked down the passenger pillar, and behind the console, but that's just a suggestion  ???

No me neither buddy, just my tuppence worth!
I would have thought the most common place for a mic though would have been at the top of the drivers pillar, which would save having to mess around with the roof lining?

Fek off Albs, I'm off to bed in a mo and I don't want nightmares  :o :o :o :o :o :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Besides, unless they're interested in a 29 year old male occasionally jerking off when parked in a deserted car park going about his daily business why would they bother?  :-\ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Got the same kit on 2001 Vectra V6 I bought for my younger brother a few years back. Nokia official car kit. With a feed back down to what was quite a large plastic cradle - realising the cradle and all wiring was long gone he just chopped it off, but I'd test and then chop as his went all under the headlining and down the A pillar!

Sorry for my ignorance (I know nowt about wiring and electrics  :-[)...

So, this wire goes under the interior light as I mentioned, then down the pillar internally.... so where does it then come out to where the cradle would have been? Absolutely no othe rsigns of holes, wires etc. Also I do want rid... but do I just cut it and tape it? And how do I test it?

Cheers  :y

It'll probably just pull out  :-\ just ease the wire out from the trim, it'll probably still have a jackplug on the end. A phone kit won't be too difficult to fit/remove ..................... if Halfords can fit one  ::) ::)

I have a similar kit removed from the Astra SWMBO used to have, the only connection to the car's loom was a live feed taken from the glove box light.  :y
