I've noticed this on all the 9's I've seen.

What is the 3 lines on the dash between the steering column and the HVAC surround? On the right of the steering column.

None of the 8's I've seen have this.

What are they?

 

that where you send your voice commands

j/k - I really dont know and could care less as long as its nothing important

 

^ lol your are right, thats for the Japanese models that have Bluetooth phone connectivity. Its where the mic goes. LMAO Good guess.

 

i put all my leds in there for meth.. perfect fitment...

only problem is the windshield wiper knob blocks it lol..... so i have to turn it onto the first setting to see the lights lol...

then i got smart and put a switch on the fuse...

why not move the lights? i dont feel comfortable drilling into my dash

cheers!

 

where'd you get the info on the Japanese bluetooth?

 

I found out from a Friend, But he said its on this forum somewhere. sounds completely logical, Alot of japanese cars come with weak bluetooth intergration. Its a big thing over there. I'll do a search and find it.

 

I was thinkin that maybe there was an auto temp option in the works and that would be where the fan and thermo switch would be. My brother's NSX has the same thing.

 

ok I did a search it didn't turn up, so I called him and asked how he knows about it, he says " I found it in a translated brochure" So i asked where and i can't find it. The outlander appears to be equiped with the same thing though.

 

almost every car there has blue tooth... your not allowed to talk on the phone and drive in many countries

i'm gonna guess 25% of accidents are due to alcohol... the other 25% are do to ipods and cell phones

 

yep the, the Outlander is equiped with it. the evo Is supposed to be but the Us models aren't its part of the radio, and when have the stupid stock lancer radios. Ohh well I don't care.

 

I think it's for a mic for noise compensation equipped radios.

 

It can be for a big list of things we don't have. Bluetooth mic, auto climate temp sensor, noise compensation, etc.

 

So heres my guess. I'm guessing it is to make the door chime a bit more audible since i'm assuming the door chimer noise is coming from somewhere behind the dash.

 

there was a whole thread on this a while back...I forgot what it ended up being but somebody said that it was a mic that used to determine if you had voided your warrenty

 

WINNER!
My VIII didn't have the chime when the seat belt wasn't fastened. I think that's where the door chime speaker is. Sorry guys, its nothing extravagent.
