Hi, I was poking around my car and found this black box in the passenger footwell, I couldn't find any marking on it and have no idea what it does. As far as mods go I just have a turbo time and viper alarm. Any ideas?

 

It wasn't put there by MAZDA. Something Audio related maybe?

On a side note, if you have the stock twin tubos the TT is kinda useless since they're water cooled.

 

Yeah the car came with everything I mentioned, it did have an aftermarket head unit too.

 

Looks like an alarm module.

 

Follow the wires. Most likely a cheapy alarm as mentioned above.

 

Thanks, I'm kinda worried about the wiring job for this + the head unit + turbo timer, it's a mess and there's open ended wires everywhere haha.

 

I know little about alarm systems...what was the logic behind installing an aftermarket system on the FD? Was the factory system THAT lacking?

 

if i were you id lose any crap alarm ive had so many no start repairs that are caused by junk alarm/remote start systems than i care to talk about. customer is generally pissed they just lost their half *** going in and out alarm but are happy once they realize they can drive again. have fun getting to know your car man.
