Does any body know what the electronics box is for that is located by the hand brake.

There is a small plastic section that you can lift off just next to the hand brake, you can then see it.  It has an arrow on the label facing forward.

I only ask as I am fitting a Motorola bluetooth hands free car kit. I don't want to remove any of the front dash board, so I wanted to place the main control box in the centre armrest box. But it is only about 10" (250mm) away from that electronics box. Don't want to cause a problem with what ever it is.

Having an arrow on it may suggest that it is some sort of acceleration recorder/meter perhaps for the airbag system

Not seen that.  I have a panel I can remove to get at the screw too remove arm rest.

Pic please so I can visualise

Under cover A.  Which can be removed by just hooking a finger under the rear end and pulling up.

Cheers for the pic.  I'll look tomorrow.

Is it for the seat belt system?

If I have found the photo (top right) of the right area it's is an SRS (Airbag) control module. Due caution should be applied!

Nice one Lorian - this thread is probably eligible for the "technical data" group

Yes the picture top right is the one.  Is there a larger photo or can I view it myself on some web site.

Thanks.

That's as big as it gets without zooming in. You can find it by registering  a (free) account at www.hmaservice.com (usa site) abd looking at the electronic technical manual (ETM) pages for the "elantra touriing" which is basically a 2ltr i30 cw.

It takes a while to find you way around the site.

I am a member there. But for some reason I cannot display most of the pages on the ETM tab. I notice that it uses Flash Player for the content on those pages, but my version will not display anything. I do have the latest version installed and this seems to be the problem. I updated to version 10 some time back and now I get this at several web sites. It was fine before I updated. Another fine effort from Adobe
