Hi all.. not so long ago i brought a uzz31 soarer and i haven't been able to have much of a play. I noticed in between the sun visors, there is a middle one, and under this, there is ment to be something. There is a photo of what is there now, just 2 wires. what is ment to be there?

Also, What does the button on the rear view mirror ment to do? as far as i can tell, it does nothing at the moment.

cheers, all. Luke

Welcome to the club Luke! =D

I dont think there is anything supposed to be there 'cept a plastic cover.
A previous owner most likely removed the cover so they could mount something like a radar detector there and run the cables through the hole and into the roof, keeping things tidy.

The button on the rear view mirror is a special magical button. Press it and the mirror will magically darken!
You know in how crappy cars that ARENT Soarers (Pov pack Soarers without the magic excused) you have that level thing that you pull, and the mirror darkens so that assholes with their high beams on behind you dont blind you through the mirror? Well the magic boffins at Lexus in America are too lazy to pull things like that, so they made the Soarer mirror with a layer of LCD which darkens when you press that button, effectively doing the same thing as the crappy lever thing, but it looks cool! =P

How many people who dont drive Soarers can say that their rear view mirror is an LCD?
NOT MANY!

The problem is the LCD rearview mirrors fail and just stay dark sometimes (like mine).
