I've recently bought a 4.8is and am getting it how I want it.  Please can anyone confirm what this bodge job is?  It is stuck right in the middle of the dash, right up to the window and has a black wire attached.  I am guessing that it is part of an additional alarm sensor or something.  It is approx 3.5cm x 2cm.

could be a gps antenna ...... looks rough as a bears posterior though whatever it is

nice install!

WTF!  Any name or model number on it?  Does the LED ever light up?

Hahaha! Somebody will be proud of it ! Luckily the glue is brittle si will clean off - I have no idea what it is. I thought maybe an ultrasonic sensor but possibly is a gps. No logo or tech info but I'll get a photo of the inside of it.

It doesn't light up or anything.

Whatever it is, the installer should be given a life ban from owning any BMWs!

Hi

Definitely not a BMW option I'm aware of.

I reckon it could have been an alarm as others have said or it could be a speed camera sensor or jammer of some sort.best to track the wire, but not great whatever it is /was  )

Garage door/Gate opener ??

Can you imagine the hours of thought and planning that went into deciding eventually, that a BMW would the perfect thing to stick to his new sensor !!!!!!!

I think I might know what it is. In the electronics section in the boot, there is a non-working dvd player or something that is as seemlessly installed - I think it could possibly be a remote control sensor for that.

I was also thinking along the lines of one of those old infrared controller units / extensions to enable a remote to be used for some other piece of hardware, like you say something in the boot.......

Ffs that's shocki

Perhaps some far sighted person put it on there to invoke topic.

Look closely and you can see the Xbox logo in there
