Question Can you help me in identifying this device ?

Hi all,

under the dashboard, just above my knees, I have a sort of switch screwed and I could not find what it is. I tried to turn the button, press on it, nothing happens. FYI, I bought my Z used.

Thanks. Here are some pics of this "switch".

It's a camera. Useful when girls in short skirts try to "drive" your car. Be thankful for it

you bought it used, im surprised they didnt remove it before selling you the car. follow the wires to see where they end up at. obviously you bought it from a dealership or else you would of asked the private seller. still surprised the dealership did not take it off

Maybe push it rather than trying to turn it?

No, I tried everything and nothing is happening. No light, no secret door opened, no "Z" genius appearing, nothing

I though about an alarm system or XM box, but it would be documented if it would be XM related. Maybe a sort of "LoJack" tracer ?

I did not look yet where the wires are going, this will be the next step !

Any other mods done to the car that you know of? Fog Lamp, non-homelink mirror (garage door opener), VSS bypass (enter NAV in motion)....
