  3. if its magnetic its a magnetically attractive base for something else with a magnet
     
  4. Also what are those 2 screws for that sticking out of the speaker grill

    They're to hold something which isn't magnetic.

    My guess would be they're holding the speaker on underneath !

  12. Two screws holding a speaker underneath.

    It's not magnetic. It has two cables which I've traced back to this box behind the panel on the passengers side.

  13. Probably for an antenna for a mobile phone car fit, they usually have a stick on inductive piece like that and antenna on the outside

    Could also be for a cb radio?
     
  14. I live in Scotland, I'd have burnt out a few rain sensors by now if they had them.

  16. If it starts ticking . RUN. :eek:
     
  17. Is it only connected to one cable? Where does the other one go? Say anything on the box.

    Outside chance it's a GPS antenna for a tracker.

  19. It has something like

    pre commissioned
    These units dont display LED

    It's like a fitted cable at the dash end down to those two brass fittings in the pic. Then a wire going somewhere else's

    It's blowing a hooly outside so I'll check where the cable ends up next time I'm out at the van.

    I was hoping for a straight forward answer but that was optimistic
