Whilst dismantling the dash of my 280ZX...I came accross an ifra red reciever under the center dash vents (just above the radio section) :shock: ... it looks to be factory original as the little tinted window has a propper moulding that it fits snuggly into ... and i can also see it in the diagram in the workshop manual...but no mention as to what it is...... Anyone know what that is supposed to be for ???

I have no idea but if I had to guess my guess would be a light sensor to brighten up or dim dash lights automatically. I would be surprised if a car of that age would have this feature or that any car would but I tink some TV's do!???...then again it could be some alien civilisation monitering you! :idea: :?: :wink:

Aha...it's actually just a light to illuminate the cassette player... through me, because of that tinted window...usually goes over iR..

 

Now I guess an iR sensor would work behind this tinted window anyway right ?? Because I'm mounting an MP3 / CD player in the glovebox, and want to oprerate it by remote control via the iR...
