I mentioned the other day that while I had the panel with the 12v/HDMI/USB outlets removed, I was unable to lock or unlock the car using the door handles.

Now I found a new reason for that connection: the car won't start without it. I had been leaving that panel disconnected while I messed around in there, deciding what accessories should go where. When I want to drive the car, I have to plug in that cable. It's the one on the bracket over the three outlets.

 

I believe that actually goes to the LED module.

 

Can you investigate that LED there? Can it be replaced to match the Blue Interrior illumination?

 

Which LED is that? What does it do - aside from looking pretty?

 

Personally I'd rather replace the led in my interior illumination kit with soft white to match the ones there in the center console. I suppose it requires some soldering.
