It might be power for auto switching the mirror from day to night mine does. It also has a button to turn it off. Does yours have a button on it. Or some sort of light sensor on it.

I just noticed today that there is a small electrical cable running to the in cab rear vision mirror, but can't find any switches.

Whatsitfor???

I believe it feeds a small heater element in the mirror to act as a demister. The spec lists for many, particularly later model M35's list rear vision mirrors demisters as a standard feature. Whether that's internal or exterior mirrors, I can't say.

I think the Heater element might be the answer.

There is a switch under the mirror but it seems to be purely mechanical and I can,t see any sensors or switches to turn it on and off.

What stag. What size and offset are your rims?

its probably a wire for the factory security system. i have mine still on the car. i really should remove it!

did you get a key fob with a remote start function on it?

No remote start key. Just a keyless entry key.

I have remote start... and I have wires too... no friggin idea what they are for...?

Why would we have a heater element for an internal mirror?

Incase someone leaves their windows down on a frosty/winter night... I've done it ;):) Got in the car next morning inside windows and mirror frosted over haha

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
