Card slot electrical thing?

Post by Jackdawtown » Tue Dec 06, 2022 8:25 pm

:?: My Bongo has this card slot thing which also talks some Japanese to me on starting up. It's just under the steering wheel. Is this connected to the 3 in 1 CD player? I do intend to replace the Cd player at some point - just want to know if this is part of the original set up.

Maybe a SIM card holder for the head unit to access internet?

Its a Toll card reader it connects to the little aerial up on the windscreen, so that when you enter a Japanese Toll road/bridge etc it knows who you are. and bills you, it can all be stripped out.

That's good to know. I will get it taken when I replace the cd unit. Thanks
