I'm in the process of installing a compressor under the driver's seat. There is a device hanging off the driver's seat & I don't want the compressor to interfere with it. I am wondering what it is? There isn't one under the passenger seat so I can move the compressor to the passenger side if necessary.

I'm guessing it's a position sensor for the max fore and aft adjustment of the electric seat.
I suppose for your car this is not being used but is wired to the main plug at front right hand corner of the seat, black and white wire on mine.
The front and rear extremity seem to correspond to the forward and rear most position of my seat.

think the ejector seat and wiring was only available as an option in conjunction with the pan roof, which I don't think was on the options list for Southern Hemisphere

under seat so you can use it without unloading the boot? wouldnt it fit under bonnet? At work

must be a nightmare in a convertible

I'm not sure if a seatbelt pre-tensioner is fitted to a FL2. if yes, it could be that.

Just couldn't face trying to connect into the car's network! I connected it with 50 amp Anderson plugs, have rigging swaging tools so it's easy to crimp the heavy Anderson connectors. Added an Anderson plug to the battery on a short bit of cable & fuse, so I just have to pop the bonnet & open the battery cover, & have a 3.5 metre extension cable to connect from battery to compressor setup. A few final things to finish, but basically all works well. While the power is connected the fan is always on for cooling.

The compressor is really tucked out of the way here, so one less thing floating around the car!

Nice install !
Talking about things floating around... That loop of hose is way bigger than the compressor itself...

interesting ...but why do you want a compressor in the car ?

I thought that, but then thought having an onboard compressor means that you can lower your tyre pressures for sand or deep snow driving (not that there is much snow in Oz ) but you can then pump them back up easily.

Also good for blow up beds, blow up tents, blow up canoes................

we used to have them on our military wagons and used them for tyres, pneumatic 12m comms masts, paint spray guns and all sorts.

I just carry one of these:-
Which just plugs into the accessory socket. Might not be quite as quick as that underseat thing but I can transfer it from car to motorcycle and back in a split second. And it sits easily within the spare wheel space. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE
