What are these connectors for??

Supervinnie40 · 4th January 2014, 14:49

Hi guys,

I found a few connectors of which I'm not certain what they do.

The first one is in the (front) interior light. It's a little black connector with 2 wires, orange and light-red/black.

The second one is behind the radio. I've got a Symphony radio.
It's a black connector with four wires.

Also I did a search for some extra wires (like for the rear blind and such), but according to this view I think I'm out of luck...

Nobody knows?

1st one is for the mic for the handsfree kit that was dropped before the car was launched

2nd one - don't know

The blind switch wiring is usually wrapped up in foam and looks like it is there in the last picture

2nd one - I may be wrong but I thinks it for cars with Sat Nav

Where do you think those connectors could be hidden in the foam? Do you think it'll be in the first part that's taped up, or the part in the back?

Is that handsfree kit still available somehow?

Second is for sat nav as MN190 says.

Unused connectors are usually under the ash tray.

there are two clips holding the ash tray and cup holders in, slide your fingers down the sides, inside at the front and you will feel them, pop it out and you may well find the plugs are under there.

first picture, if it's up in the interior light unit is for the microphone for smartnav / handsfree kit.

The next picture could do with resizing, but suspect it the connection for lowline satnav
