I have a 2005 Stagea M35 and I'm trying to find out what the plug and cable going into the back of the cars internal rear view mirror is for?

I can see no sensors on the front of the mirror. The mirror has standard manual control for dipping from lights reflecting in the mirror.

Could this be anything to do with wiring for a camera or something. The wiring into the back of the mirror is factory.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Ok, I unpluged the plug from the back of the mirror and the car would not let me unlock the key barrel, and when I plugged it back in, it was back to normal.

But when I turned the key barrel to Acc and then pulled the plug out of the mirror I could still start the car. So this must be just to do with the barrel locking system.

So you are right in saying it is to do with the smart key system.

Thanks for that, at least now I know what its for.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Did a little bit this afternoon and pulled the dump and turbo off so I could take the mani off to clean it up and give it a few coats of paint. Wire wheeled what I could get to and then got the sand paper out to get the tight spots. Gave it one coat so far, will do another two tomorrow and see if I can fit it in the oven to bake it for an hour along with the adapter and dbw.  Hoping the exhaust wrap I ordered turns up soon so I can wrap the dump and screamer. Ordered 30M so I'll wrap back as far as I can to help a little with temp next to the box and also the floorpan.

      Yeah I think overall I’m running the expected power I should be running for now and I’ll just enjoy it for the time being until I get some other parts. Thanks for the advice mate I appreciate it!

      That's fair enough.  Might be time to just enjoy what you have until you sort the ecu/flex sensor situation. You can pretty much guarantee that you are knock limited and e85 is going to be the solution to more power.

      He didn’t provide that info to me but I think I’m on standard timing. And no we don’t have e85 on the petrol stations here but it’s widely available here from shops. I’m just planning on getting a better ecu before switching to e85

      Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.
