Not sure what its called or how its fitted, I've not even seen it but the front interior light panel has a plug for a camera.
I think its for dimming the headlights down when an oncoming car is detected.

I used this plug for wiring in my dash cam.
Its a 4 pin plug, 2 power and 2 canbus.

What's that rear solar reactive screen?
Footrests?
rear vanity mirrors?
Electric table for the rear?
AFSII?
Illuminated door sills?

B&O is on the list and much to my suprize not as difficult to fit as i thought it would be, seems the dash is the same and only a few mods needed to fit and the harness is very simmilar to the bose and could be adapted.. i missed out on a full B&O set up only a few weeks ago as there was a full speaker set up for sale for £360 complete but as i could not get the door cards i thought it may be too difficult so i am exploring another option at the moment

Can't see properly whether the car is SWB but if so, I didn't think vanity mirrors, tables and footrest (as well as chauffeur position for the front passenger seat) could be spec'd, but I stand to be corrected.

If it's LWB then disregard what I just said

EDIT: sorry, yes it is. Disregard this lol.
