Calling all experts!
Approx. the front 1/3 of the armrest storage in my SRT is taken up with an internal shelf/bulkhead insert which seems hollow so I thought, if this was removed, it could usefully increase the feeble storage capacity of the XF interior.
By removing the open storage insert just forward of this (cupholder in earlier cars?), I got access to the fixing lugs of this little 'shelf' and easily removed it.
Fixed to the inside is a small flat black box attached to a four-wire connector - the lead runs forward into the centre console.
My question is - what is it?? - and if I can mount it at the front of the armrest storage area (without the shelf insert piece), will it still work OK?
The label reads:
LP-MDD Sensor
A 193 820 34 10 (which looks like a M-B part number)
ZH-27 / ZH-29
18535057 IRELAND
Rec No: 902939
The are more smaller nos. including a serial.
Searching Chrysler and M-B parts databases reveals nothing definite.
The only thing that came close was 'Passenger Discrimination Sensor' which I believe is part of the SRS system - if so, it's obviously important!
I tried a search of the Forum but that came up blank, too.
Any help appreciated!
