Finally got my Z! Question for the Experts.

Arkaine · 07-15-2011, 06:27 PM

Hello all,
been lurking and posting on this site for almost a month now and I finally found/purchased the 370z of my dreams!

Pearl white, low KMs and best of all the guy before me installed the navtool so I can watch DVDs while driving and it has a backup camera!
Never thought I could like a car so much!
Already had people stopping me on the road saying how sick the car is lol.

I do have a question, since the guy made some minor mods to the car would anyone have any idea what the following image is in the 2 last pics??

Looks like satellite radio antenna or alarm sensors.

Hmm.. isn't the satellite radio on the roof? If it's an alarm I definitely didn't get a remote for it lol.

It's on the windshield by the driver side.
What would it be used for?
The car has navigation and everything built in...

It is for the aftermarket GPS to pick up the satelite

Aftermarket GPS? Sorry, what do you mean?

The car has the factory Navi...

Appreciate all the opinions though!!

Could be a remote receiver of some kind. Does anything else look added on?

90 ST · 07-15-2011, 10:32 PM

i would start tracing back the wires.

Aftermarket GPS, for tracking the car i think he meant, like lo jack, not for directions.

Navtool and backup camera is about all I notice.

Ahh I see. That could be it. Apparently the car has something called globali installed for vehicle recovery..
I'll definitely trace the wires back when I have the time.. they go down the a-pillar on the passenger side.

Thanks again all!
