Plugged opening on the dash - What's it for?
 

There is a plugged hole on the dash of my '09 clubman S. What is, or in my case, was it used for?

Thanks...

The plug is replaced with a solar sensor if you have auto heat/ac controls. It's supposed to help the system maintain a consistent cabin temperature.

Hmmmm... but I do have auto heat/ac controls!

I have the auto AC too and I also have that plug.

I think it is this: http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...41&hg=64&fg=45

Maybe it only looks like a rubber plug. The wiring diagrams show a sensor at that location for auto heat/ac. You could pry it up and see if it has connectors on the other side.

I thought that was the sensor for the auto-dimming rearview mirror. I have kind of a glass bubble in that slot...

Isn't that where the turn signal fluid goes?!

Damn Russians,
They got to you.
Spying ain't what it used to be.
