After asking on here about the 1.0 Vs 1.2 I took the advice of one poster and began looking at the Toledo instead (sorry, Skoda!). Don't regret it at all. Got the top spec model and it drives very well.

 

Today I got in and noticed a cable hanging down from the top of the windscreen on the passenger side. It's black with a a two pin female connector on it. I'm assuming it had been tucked into the headlining and fell out. I've popped it back but I'm interested to know what it is. Anyone know? Everything in the car work so I suspect it's for an optional extra the car doesn't have (heated windscreen?). 

Hard to say without a picture.

 

Do you have an automatic light sensing rear view mirror? If not, it could be wiring in place for that (and could mean you can add it with a simple part swap). 

Wife has the car but I'll get a pic later. It looks a bit like a PC jumper cable. Not aware of any sensor in the mirror but only got the car and sometimes optional extras aren't immediately obvious.

So it's 3 pin holes not 2. Photo isn't the best. The way the cable is bent makes me think it's supposed to run down the pillar. It definitely wasn't pulled from there so it must have been tucked into the headlining and then it's dropped down. I could pull the trim off the pillar to see but I just got the car and knowing my luck I'd break something! I'll pop it back into the headlining but interested to know what it was meant for.

 

Only thing I could think was the central light or something related to the mirror as suggested.

The previous owner might have had a dash cam installed and removed on selling but left the wiring in place?

Other wiring up their I guess could have been a microphone for a car kit - but i'd have expected like 3.5mm jack at the other end..or maybe related to the sunvisor?

 

Just guessing though so might not help.

 

Maybe worth looking on here to see if any of the connectors match up? (google the part numbers, might help identify - i did have a quick look but the 3pin one looks diff to yours pictured)

Thanks. May well be right. It doesn't look like whatever it was supposed to connect to is there so probably something like a dash cam. I'll pop it back into the headlining.

Unlikely to be a dash cam. That would just be a USB cable.

 

If it’s a 2-pin automotive/electrical connector, it’s almost certainly wiring in place for a feature you don’t have. The location would suggest auto-dipping rear view mirror, or it could just be a cable that fell out of the roof light cluster. Is everything switching on OK up there?

So it is the mirror. Sitting in the passenger seat I can see the other end of the cable seems to go into the mirror.
