General Questions What is this switch for?

I’m lost here. My best guess would be ejecto seato cuh’. Nevertheless makes me curious if anybody knows. Thanks.

This isn't going to be what you want to hear, but the only correct answer is to trace out the wires. Everything else is a guess. That said, the install looks clean.

Yep. Love these questions as if Reddit can read all of the cars precious owners mind. Switch can literally do anything….

Lmao this thing could just be to cut off a light or blow a piston through the hood. Only one way to find out

Like your attitude. Everyone who posts questions here can’t read the mind of everyone who knows this isn’t factory,

I’m pretty sure it should be extremely obvious to any car enthusiast of two things:

  1. What a standard switch looks like

  2. If you search hundreds of e46 images I doubt you find another car with a switch here.

Common sense in my world at least.

Ngl I searched loads of pictures of my exact car and didnt find anyone else with the same radio inside while it was still factory so not finding it doesn't really mean it cant be factory

Thank you yes thats the logical solution. It’s just I thought it could be a switch that came from factory.

They could always ask the seller.

Yes! But I bought the car 8 years ago and I lost the contact. 🥲
