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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
