433MHz antennas. Could be for anything that uses that band.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LPD433

Every time that I have purchased a used vehicle I have found something of unknown origin during it's first proper clean. :Confused:

Oh ok.
Just making sure they weren't with the car originally and an important widget...👍

Go on, ask! :)

Looks like we might have a thread on 'what did you find on the first clean?'.

In my current S8, I found a camouflage pattered Yale door key, but the previous owner (who was fastidious and showed the car), didn't know anything about it! :Confused:

Garage door / electric gate opener? The previous owner would most likely be very pleased to have them returned if they are. May have just left them in as he got side tracked with excitement because of what ever new toy he just bought! I've done similar!

He probably couldn't see it +++

Or, get his address from the V5, pop round his house when he's out and see if there's anything tasty in his garage.... :rolleyes:

I do wonder how many folk with homelink sell their car on with it still perfectly coded for the next owner to come back anytime and open their garage (!)

its as good as selling your car with a set of front door keys in it if you're garage is attached.... :cool:

Possibly although the car does have the home buttons as an option. So wouldnt have thought previous owner would need them to be in the car.
