Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

[JaviLM]

After this weekend trip I opened the glove compartment and I found this: the dealer had "installed" the ETC module using double-sided tape, which doesn't really work on the fabric-like surfaces there.

Any suggestions on how to attach it securely? I though about velcro, but I don't think it would work on this surface...

You may want to check to see if there is a bracket stuck to the top of the glovebox. Mine has a bracket screwed to the car, and the ETC unit clips onto it along with double sided adhesive.

I had mine installed at my dealer.
You should consult with the place where you had it installed.

What is this hardware used for? And is it a factory part?

Aftermarket electronic toll collection unit.

Next I am considering putting a Magcode power port for CTEK next to the rear view camera.
This could be easily done by removing the rear bumper, but we are investigating ways to do it without removing the rear bumper.

We are also considering a digital inner mirror.

But when will we get a parts list for the Emira?

I'm doing the same.

I'm mounting mine in one of the square recesses behind the rear number plate.

I have mounted the number plate on a synthetic piano hinge (at the top) so you lift it to expose the magcode socket and it snaps shut with a couple of magnets, hiding the socket when not in use.

Hinged plate done, yet to fit the Magcode socket.

I checked and there's no bracket. Just the double-sided tape attached to the top of the glove compartment. The ETC unit was provided by the dealer. I just checked the box and there isn't a bracket there.

I'll let them know so when I bring the car in to get the AC unit fixed they will also take care of this.

Mine was done by the dealer too (Lotus Yokohama). They provided the unit and did the installation during pre-delivery.

I'll talk to them about this.

First time at Daikoku on the Emira. I had been here before, but never on a weekend evening. What a nice atmosphere.
