Weird Plastic Thing Above Rear Seats

[markleigh]

Just took delivery of new C3 Hdi Sensodrive and just above the right hand rear seat, tucked into the ceiling trim, is a black plastic thing like a letter 'T' with small LEDS in in, red and green. It says 'Meta System' on it. No idea what this is - is it something to do with an alarm? I didn't specify an alarm but I wonder if this is fitted anyway as standard - and only connected if you have an alarm... Thanks.

Will probably be the alarm I know they are standard on the higher specs. Unfortunately I have an 04 Hdi Desire but contrary to reports on here has so far provided 8,300 miles of trouble free motoring just as the BX, ZX and 2 xsaras I have had have. How do you like the sensodrive? Wish I'd gone for the SX even if it meant swapping for the petrol version.

Thanks

I should be taking delivery of my C3 1.6i 16v Exclusive Sensodrive next week hopefully so I will look at this plastic on my rear seats because mine has an alarm.

toblerone Shame you didn't get your C3 Desire this year. Because they have given it a new look now. Colour Coded bumpers. Different Seat Pattern. Different Wheel Trims and a colour Gear Knob. It really makes the Desire model look better because it was exactly the same as LX really but the Desire had a CD Player and Air Con. My mate got a 54 2005 C3 1.4HDi Desire (New Look) Artic Steel. He really likes it.

Not seen anything like that on my Exclusive model which has an alarm, no idea what that is.

Found out what it is; it's the control box and visual display for the reversing sensors. When you select reverse that's where the bleep comes from.
Sensodrive great - really pleased with car!
