relentless Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 On my JDM theres a little black box stuck to the windscreen above the mirror. It has the letters "ETC" or "CTC" on it. I dont think its a GPS receiver as theres a Sony one stuck on the dash. The car came with a fancy DVD player with tv, satnav etc. Any ideas? Cheers Quote
P15UL T Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 i have this to on my uk car, still dontknow what its for, maybe the int phone kit Paul Quote
P15UL T Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 better not cut it off them......quickly puts the scissors down Quote
GC350z Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Antenna for phone if I'm not mistaken. Uk cars that is. Quote
Zummertor Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Agree that is, but we don't know if that is what Relentless is talking about. I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have letters on it as he described. Quote
IanS16 Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Mine has AutoDJ and CarWings written on it.. (buttons) doesnt sound like its that he's talking about though. Quote
jim Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Surely the phone microphones are the small round black objects at the top of the picture? They look exactly like the ones in our Qashqai. Quote

relentless Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 ....its alot smaller than that....about 1.5 inch square max.....looks like im gonna have to take a pic! Quote
P15UL T Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 you would have to look between that and the windscreen to see it as its tucked away up , i only noticed mine as it fell down and is hanging at the mirror at the moment Quote
Ebized Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Possibly a sensor for the toll roads, if they have those in Japan? Quote
Zummertor Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Possibly a sensor for the toll roads, if they have those in Japan? ETC - Electronic Toll Collection, maybe a good shout Quote

relentless Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 ah of course, good thinking! Threw me a little as there was a seperate unit on the centre console which was for electronic toll also. Quote
prometheus Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 My UK one has it aswell, wouldn't think that the UK cars would have a toll road sensor. I thought that if there was an option for auto wipers that it was the sensor, or even the sunshine sensors for the aircon. Quote

There was a (Jap) card reader unit fixed to the centre console which was labled mitsubishi electronic toll collection system - even had "ETC" on it same as on the box on windscreen. So is the receiver worth keeping i wonder, will it work in this country and how? Im having glass replaced soon and was gonna say leave it off... Quote
relentless Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 Is this what everyone is talking about? nope, its about 1.5" square. Quote
