Looks like some sort of AV input. May flash blue for bluetooth connectivity, set it flash and then get your bluetooth mobile and ask it to discover devices and see if it finds anything.

Yellow RCA plugs are commonly used for video in, red and White for audio in. Maybe somebody has managed to wire in a video feed into the satnav?

Since you would need a 3rd input for video, it is not a DVD or anything like that. So its either an audio in or audio out.

That, my friend, is the reset switch, Aux Input and bypass switch for the Dension Gateway 500 kit that I figured out how to integrate with the infotainment system on the Vantage. It allows you to hook an iPod, MP3 player, USB drive, or even a Bluetooth phone to your car.

The slide switch is to bypass the Dension unit so that you can use the standard CD changer.

Somewhere else in the car, there should be an iPod cable with a dock connector. The Bluetooth feature is optional, so there's no guarantee that you have it.

Thanks

The Aux input looks like a red and white phono pair to me. You'll only get audio that way.
