it's probably just a light to let you know that the garage door opener is connected...

don't think it has anything to do with the garage opener. i don't have the opener on mine and it still has the light. i think it is just to illuminate the shofter / radio area.

So if you have it, is that what it does? Is it on when you turn on the parking lights?

it lights up the shifter and radio area slightly. have to pay attention next time to see if it is always on or just when the lights are.

The light has nothing to do with the door opener or with illumination of any area. It simply indicates that the head lights are on.

The light does turn on when the lights are on. Most people don't even realize that light is in the car, my wife never even noticed until I showed her. I noticed it the first night of driving. I'm gonna say its there to let you now there's a straw in your cup thats in your cupholder! I love the light though its just one more feature that alot of cars don't have!

Well, whatever the hell it is I don't have it right!
Ok so I've finally came clean, my X doesn't have IT[&:]
Dunno, maybe its only on 3.0 jobs, or maybe a special light for the American market....I don't know!
All I know is, everyone else has one and I don't, maybe my X is unique?.........lol
Anyways - I'm doing to the dealer tomoz to get one retro fitted..lol

The mystery light is nothing more than a feature designed to get people talkin about Jags / X types.
