What's The Box Under the Driver's Seat?

Post by MarkH »

Can anyone tell me what the electronics package under the driver's seat and packed in black polystyrene foam would be?

When I first got the car I thought it was a piece of left over packaging and was going to rip it out, but it had cables and a box of electronics that looked rather special.
Anyone know what it is? :?

On a RHD car the amp is under the passenger seat.

Heard that from a few people i.e. bluetooth equipped car but nothing under the seat. Maybe it's been installed behind the climatic controls -> it's like narnia back there (space-wise)

For RHD cars, it's the BT unit.
Under the passenger seat, it's the dynaudio amp, protected by a hard plastic cover.
