Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
We have some frequencies that are highly managed and tightly coupled for maximum use being auctioned for billions while other equivalent segments sit stagnant for uses that should have been put out to pasture 30 years ago.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I removed the console on my 2000 S and when I went to reinstall it I found this electrical connection in the image. But, I don't recall disconnecting it and I can't see where it goes. I am thinking maybe it is for an accessory that I don't have like navigation or something like that. Any ideas? Everything seems to be working fine without it connected. At least as far as I have found so far (fingers crossed).

Thank you for the help. Feel pretty stupid since I now see someone else asked the same question 2 days ago. I missed that one.

I'm glad you asked it, because I missed that thread. Now when the US switches to DAB and shuts off FM radio, I will know where to get a power source for the DAB conversion kit. Don't see this happening in the US soon, but Norway is turning off FM radio in 2017. Norway Will Be the First Country to Turn Off FM Radio in 2017

POST 5Original post

The US is incredibly "bandwidth challenged" due to decades of poor frequency management of the nations airwaves by the FCC. We have some frequencies that are highly managed and tightly coupled for maximum use being auctioned for billions while other equivalent segments sit stagnant for uses that should have been put out to pasture 30 years ago. This is why almost every new technology (WiFi, Bluetooth, cordless phones, etc) is relegated to the mostly unregulated 2.4Mhz ISM band. Read about it here: Why Everything Wireless Is 2.4 GHz | WIRED Thus, DAB makes technical sense (a lot more channels can fit into the same frequency range) but with the various lobbies and ongoing political strife in Washington, its hard to see FM radio changing in the US anytime soon.
