Help a stoopid newb and tell me what this button does...

Now that this is brought here, I wonder, what was/is the porpouse of that little "vent-grill" next to the temperature knob? I always wondered if there was a sensor behind it (when I was a kid) but never figured out for what was it.

My guess was always a mic grill of sort, for the old school hands free car phone ballers.

How important is the circuit breaker? What is the main use for it in an E30?

Well they also have a child safety button that shuts off the power to the rear window switches. but the breaker stops all power, so cinda different things there.

i have that small child safety button wired up in my vert to turn the power on and off to the antenna. that way i can listen to my phone through the radio without the whistling from the antenna being up.

How did you do this?

I don't think I have that button, wait do I have that button?.. I'll be back!

It is strange, but every one I have ever seen that was in any e30, was worn off.

Same here and it's not a button that anybody will use always like the windows button so that fade out quickly.

First time I see the "real" design of the circuit breaker switch though...interesting, I might buy a new one :) Although I never understood why BMW would fit that button in the coupes........

Kinda weird how the other buttons are pretty clean, but just that one is faded. Never had a car with a circuit breaker for the power windows before.

And the winner for the most asked question from new e30 owners is.
