My 04 mz3 had all 4 of those and non were in use at all, had the s model sedan. My sport only has one occupied by the dsc button, same as the cx7. Who knows then...
 
It's for the optional passenger ejection seat for when your significant other (or not so significant after ejection), is bitching about your driving. :D
 
Neat - I'm gonna get the JDM style y0!. Not a terribly bad price.
 
I would think it could be the switch for the austrailian 3's headlight squirters..... but thats just a guess.
 
Got my JDM coin holder coming. How easy is it to pop off the blank to insert the JDM piece?

5 minutes. If I recall correctly, you pop off the panel surrounding the switch cluster (it's held in with retention clips). Then reach inside and push the switch cluster foward by pressing the back of it. You'll see the blank switch held in with two clips, so push those in, the blank will pop out, then insert the coin holder, put everything back together again.

When I did it, I removed the hood latch release and a couple of screws, then the left side panel. Then everythink is accessible. I might have done too much work though...

I dont know why but that made me lol.
 
now that makes sense. Forgot about that, and the only reason I know about it is cuz it was in a YouTube vid

Like I said... I am not sure about it but it seems logical. We need some of those aussies to chime in here and find out for sure.


another thing it could be is an AWD switch of some kind that the use in the AWD Axela in Japan. But thats just another guess. lol

+100000000000

all i hear is bitchin when the girl friend is in my car. Driving me insane...

its kinda funny though because the more she keeps bitchin .. the more pissed i get and i drive faster ... that shuts her up... ..........somtimes .....

any body ever made their gf or someone cry by your driving??? Kinda funny when it happens lol
 
i'd like to piggyback on the instructions
remove mazdaspeed sill from the floor
remove kick panel
drop hood release
undo screw
pull
the rest is easy
you can get enough access without removing the sill or the panel just by pulling, but if you want more room, then remove those two items
