Unknown connections.
Hi all, as I was putting my gear shift cover back in I noticed two connectors that were tapped up and unused. I have found in the past unused connections such as the led footwell lights. So I am wondering if these are also a hidden feature that I could be using? I have a 2012 1.33 French built Yaris.

I believe those are for the automatic transmission selector.

I agree that the white one could be for the automatic transmission, however I haven't taken the console out and possibly there could be more in front of the gear selector. But I'm curious about the dark grey connector as it is positioned further backwards. Could it be a switch?

Could it possibly be the switch for the heated seat function? Not sure if there are any yaris owners here with that function that could check the switch?

Economies of scale mean it would be more economical to make the wiring harness as universal as possible. You would have to have LHD and RHD versions, but after that it is much easier to have 1 standard harness that accommodates the different versions that may come down the production line.

I have seat heating switch and ESP switch in that cover under the hand brake, i think thats what is there.
The hybrid has also EV-mode switch an ECO switch there, then all 4 places is used. VW makes wiring harness for every single car, if you want to retrofit anything you will almost everytime have to draw new wires. And very often you also need to change the electronic control modules, because VW have a lot of types and very often the low line module doesnt support the things you want to retrofit. But the big big difference between VW and Toyota is that VW build every car to customer specifications, where Toyota offer a number of trim levels where you can take it as it is.

It's really easy to lift it, just pull the small rubber lip by the handbrake up and it will pop out easily. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk |
