Lindz Member 13 Member For: 11y 2m 5d Gender: Male Posted 26/04/14 06:22 AM Author Share Posted 26/04/14 06:22 AM Sooooo I figured out what the switch is for today. I was wondering why my reverse sensors weren't working, went through the manual and the icc to try to figure it out, but couldn't find anything. Thought it was worth a go to flick the switch and what do ya know the reverse sensors are back on. I'm assuming they are aftermarket sensors as the switch turns them on and off. That switch was driving me mad so I'm pretty glad I finally worked out what it's for. Has anybody else ever come across this set up before?

Turned out is was a manual lower switch for the auto radio antenna.
