What an earth is this - bashbarnard - 19-03-2015

So I'm moving my radio to the bottom console bit to make room for the gauges I'm putting in come April time. And I come across this little box plugged in at the bottom under the cigarette lighter. So naturally I unplug it and try everything in my car. It still all works. So what an earth is it!

Was it the control module for column controls for the stereo.


RE: What an earth is this - Dum-Dum - 19-03-2015

Is that not part of the BSI system?


RE: What an earth is this - bashbarnard - 19-03-2015

mines an xud. I'm assuming its an immobiliser realy of some description.

Wasn't the Keypad thingy down there for immobilisers??


RE: What an earth is this - bashbarnard - 19-03-2015

yes but in the early ones. mines a phase 2, no keypad. chip is in key on mine


RE: What an earth is this - Eeyore - 19-03-2015

yeh I thought it was BSI module or something. At the bottom of the dash?

The Alarm ecu comes up in google via the part number.


RE: What an earth is this - welshpug - 19-03-2015

That's the transponder unit for the key chip on the IR systems which have a separate Alarm & CL control unit elsewhere, RF system has an integrated Alarm ECU & transponder unit which is the one with two plugs that people mistakenly call a BSI.


RE: What an earth is this - bashbarnard - 19-03-2015

Got home and googled it. As you do. Apparently it is an immobiliser unit. Saying That it could make sense about being the key blip as its the only thing my car doesn't have.


RE: What an earth is this - welshpug - 19-03-2015

guessing yours is a phase2 xud with a bosch pump conversion.


RE: What an earth is this - bashbarnard - 19-03-2015

Yeah no immobiliser just a wire to stop solenoid.
