What the heck goes here?

M3-S65 · 12-23-2013, 07:46 PM

Bought my car used can't figure out what would go here.
This is the trunk. Has a CD symbol on it and looks like a picture of tissues??

It's just a storage tray, but if you remove that cover, directly underneath is the amp for the stereo.

dparm · 12-23-2013, 07:52 PM

There's probably some hilariously overpriced dealer-installed accessory that can be mounted there.

So what is this, and is there something that should be next to it? Sorry I am new to this car!! Couldn't find this in a search.

That's interesting, my amp sits directly under that tray on the drivers side, yours is mounted right behind the rear seats.

Be careful not to get that tray wet because it does a poor job of protecting the amp. I locked a hooker in the trunk and she peed all over it and fried my amp. Damn hookers.

Hmmm, does your unknown storage tissue holder, sit on a flat area like this? Or does yours sit on top of a higher area?

I have nothing mounted behind the seats, all I have under my trunk tray is the tire inflation machine. I should also add I don't have Idrive or navagation on my car. Maybe that's the difference? Not sure

I got Idrive and Navi so maybe thats why the different spot? Who knows, still wonder what the tissue holder, anti hooker piss tray is really for.

What is? The amp looking thing behind my passenger side seat? I thought that was my amp.
I do have premium sound, navi, and I drive. So I am not missing anything next to the amp thingy? Seems like something belongs there.

grantmax · 12-23-2013, 10:43 PM

That icon looks like a fax machine. Your car is a mobile office space! Great success.

radiantm3 · 12-24-2013, 12:36 AM

Tissue box holder? That's what the icon looks like.

US///M3 · 12-24-2013, 12:45 AM

My combox is to the left of the TCU unit. Definitely a must have retrofit if your car doesnt have it.
