Hi all,
I tried to remove my armrest phone cradle the other day, to replace with the OEM cubby tray - a well known 'mod'.
Like this:
All DIYs online show it as a 2 minute job - pop cradle up, unclip two cables from their respect plugs. Remove and replace with tray. Simple.
However - my car has a mystery 3rd cable, which is not shown in any online guide I have found so far?
Unlike the other 2 cables, there is no local (accessable) plug to unclip it from. It is also not shown on Real OEM, so I'm completely lost as to where it leads back to, or even it's function.
The two cables which are unplugged are shown above the console, the mystery 3rd cable is the lower one heading back inside the console.
It head back toward the rear of the car (the steel bar is the handbrake).
I removed the rear AC vent panel but it does not show the cable. I assume it disappears underneath the trans tunnel back to the boot modules etc.
The only thing I have been able to find online is some reference to it being to do with 6NR? Which is why most DIYs don't show it (as many of them are being performed on earlier cars).
This bags the next question - should I even remove remove it? Will it disable anything? If safe to remove, where do I unclip from?
Sorry for all the questions - hoping someone with intimate knowledge may be able to help!
Thanks all,
Keith
