marbleapple Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Evening all, The car came with a black roof lining and a grey carpet. The carpet looked a little messy so I have removed the carpet, given it a clean and then dyed it black. I'm really happy with the change. Whilst messing around with the car I spotted the following 2 items. Please can people more knowledgeable than me shed some light on what they actually are? Cheers Directly under the drivers seat: Under the passenger side carpet in the footwell. The cables appear to vanish into the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The first image is the wireless door control module (remote key). If you have an aftermarket alarm this will be redundant. I would love to know where the loom to this module goes and how it connects. I'm retrofitting this module to my car and can't work out how it is wired in. No idea on the second set of wires. Looks aftermarket is all I can glean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Second picture looks like it could be from an FCD that is wired into the ECU harness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put the carpet back now so I'm afraid I can't help you. All I remember is that it went into the right hand corner and I assume into the engine bay. I have an aftermarket alarm so I assume it is redundant. Actually on a second look haven't got a bloody clue what all those wires are:search: Your post made me smile. I'm glad I am not the only one! At the moment I have come to the only natural conclusion... the ejector seat wiring would usually connect into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazla Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 How easy was it to take out and dye the carpet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 How easy was it to take out and dye the carpet? Very easy. Anyone who knows me will confirm that I don't know the difference between a spark plug and a light bulb. There is a really good guide on the forum which takes you through step by step. Its just a matter of unbolting things and it comes out. Took me about 1.5 hours to remove, 30 minutes to spray and then just put it all back together again.

dazla Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ah right I know my last car had a dyed carpet, looked great but always wondered how the hell they did it. I thought they just shoved it in a big bucket and left it a few hours:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
