Without having so much as a clue, I can use what tiny bit of brain power I have to tell you it's probably the siren for the alarm. Could be wrong.

the sensor is on the drivers side, but this trombone is on passenger side and near the horn i believe, is there a point to it or just useless garbage?

It is useless garbage. Cut it off and throw it away.

i see your icon, you have the W220 lights and quad muffler, are you trying to make your car look like an S-Class? cause obviously you cant afford one, so stop pretending your tiny 203 is a s-klasse, CAUSE IT AINT. Damn 12 yr old wannabe posers.

You know what, the car in my icon and the car in my signature isn't even mine. I don't even have my license yet because i'm 12. So not only can i not afford aN s-klasse, i can't even afford a tiny 203! I'm such a loser.
