Cable Running To Rear View Mirror


Recommended Posts

So I have been meaning to ask this for a while. Does anyone know what the cable that plugs into the back of the rear view mirror of my 370gt is for?

No idea, but I have one to - I have a 350GT Series 2.

I had the same question about 4 years ago...pretty sure its immobiliser related...unplug it and see what stops working. I remember unplugging it and something stopped working can't remember what now.

Huh? What could the immobiliser possibly take from a rear mirror? Anyway, the cable in my car does not offer a connector (from roof cavity into the back of the mirror). I could pull the mirror apart I suppose, but then with my luck my brakes might just stop working instead. ohmy.gif And I think I need those...

well I just popped into my garage to confirm this...unplugged it and my intelligent key/immobiliser would not work. Couldn't start the car. So I guess its only for those models who have the intelligent key ie: series 2 v35 and v36. Alkatraz - just unplug it and test my theory.

sorry for such a noob question but what is this smart key you guys are talking about?? I have an 06 coupe but my key looks pretty standard to me... was the smart key an option?

p.s from my understanding a smart key is like the one in infiniti or E class merc, BMW 7 series etc.... keep the keys in your pocket or inside the car but u can still turn the engine on without plugging the key... am I right??

Mine has the cable on the back of the rear view mirror, but I don't have the intelligent key?? Could it also be used for the normal lock/unlock remote?

    • Hi I wanted to see if anyone knows the name of the OEM R32 rims because I can't find it anywhere
    • Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol. 
    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10
