Plastic grill in the under dash panel

[ChrisHC]

On the driver's side the under dash panel has a plastic grill inset into it, and plastic clips that would clearly hold a rectangular object up against it on the inside. Just out of curiosity, what is that for?

[Cloggy Saint]

The 'gong' for the obc?

[ChrisHC]

No, I have an OBC and it does it's own dinging.

No, I have an OBC and it does it's own dinging.

In that case someone has fitted the bonger in the wrong place.

The small grill in that panel is where it should be.

All I have is a little peeper between the OBC and the heater temperature control.

If I only have a little peeper while other people have big bongers my life is ruined!

[Cloggy Saint]

The 'little peeper' is nothing to do with the obc.

[ChrisHC]

Right, so I am missing a gong which should operate with the OBC. What should the little peeper do? All mine ever does is peep three times when I turn off the ignition, which is not at all useful and actually slightly irritating.

Sure that's not coming from the radio? I used to have a radio that did that when the ignition is turned off, and yes, it was slightly irritating. It's supposed to be a reminder to remove the radio face and take it with you.

I suppose it could be, that never occurred to me. I will listen more carefully.

If so, what is the function of the thing between the OBC and the heater control, is it in fact a peeper at all?

[BenHar]

It's where the temperature sensor would be if the (very rare) climate control system was fitted.

[ChrisHC]

Oh, I see.

[Gert_8]

The under dash panel actually needs a piece cut out to fix the "bonger". Many people don't do this, and leave the bonger lying inside the panel....?

Think it was always old Sony headunits that did that, never knew the reasoning behind it.

[BenHar]

It's to remind you to take off the removable fascia for security.
