bmx1lew Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Right now i have a engineer installing my alarm and on the top right of the dash there used to be a little black dome, which he said is the old alarm sensor, i know my car does not have a alarm, it may possibly have remote central locking which does not work anyway, however as said on here befor that little dome near the right tweeter is the climate controle sensor, now i dont want to test the installers knowlage but i am going to belive what you guys say more as this is dedicated supra knowlage, now the engineer states the censor is the little vent hole on the dash not the dome.... so whats what so i can keep this fella right befor stuff starts playing up, oh and the new led that he has put in replace ment of the dome looks cheap and tacky not to mention is snapped :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think it is a light sensor for the Climate control and the other an air temp sensor ? Waits to be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 All the movement sensors I've ever seen look pretty much the same - and there is generally one on the passenger side / one on the driver side - and they look nothing like the climate sunlight sensor. Not to mention the fact that if it was an alarm sensor - why would it be placed right at the front of the dash - practically touching the windscreen - and behind a raised part of the dash that partially blocks it anyway? Your alarm installer is an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alarm installer who doesn't know what a movement sensor looks like is not one I'd want to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
