what's this thing?
 

so looking at my bumper earlier, i noticed something sticking out from the grill on the passenger side... what the heck is it? anyone know? is it the optional laser gun?

Temperature sensor for the on-board computer. OBC is supported by the car even if not enabled at the factory.

Lies,it's a probe.

but even if i'm down on all fours i'm not low enough for it to... oh never mind. :eek:

It's for jousting.

funny you should ask that question. I noticed it the other day, and I was like ... what on earth is that?

Thanks for the answer guys

I was wondering the same thing when i took my bumper off. Mine was just dangling there. Is there s specific way it should sit?

mine slid through the ring, but didn't lock in. i pushed and pushed but it wouldn't snap into the ring. and it certainly wasn't secured in the ring when i took the bumper off so it doesn't seem to have a problem staying there without being held in place by anything other than gravity.

My neighbor noticed mine.
 

He is a Toyota engineer - really bugged him that something would be just hanging there. He figured it out and popped it back into place.

Is there any hack - to get it to actually do something?

Me too! I thought the previous owner put one of those stupid deer noise things that don't work....until I saw the cable. LOL
